The thyroid can release hormones in the body in a hyper (working too hard) or hypo (working too little) way. Both methods are commonly treated with medication, but when the thyroid is not in balance, there are some noticeable side effects, such as fatigue, double vision, puffy eyelids, redness, or bulging eyes.

Graves disease, or hyperthyroidism, can affect 1 out of 200 people.

Your optometrist can help you manage and monitor your condition, and, when necessary, help you receive the proper treatment.
