See eye doctor: Hi. Graves' eye disease comes in a wide range of severity from mild to vision-threatening. Please see an ophthalmologist experienced in treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy. Treatments can include eye moisturizing, prednisone (systemic, not eye drops), surgeries, and radiation. You should see an experienced ophthalmologist.

Question 2

i dont have bulging eyes, but have random swelling on upper eyelid crease in one eyepreviously got treatment for conjunctivis in the same eye, can this be related to thyroid eye disease?

Accepted Answer

: Isolated unilateral random swelling of an upper eyelid crease is not the most typical presentation of thyroid disease. Your description doesn't permit a specific diagnosis. You should see your ophthalmologist for evaluation

Question 3

what causes bulging eyes?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid problems can: One common cause of bulging eyes is thyroid disease, particularly graves' disease, where the thyroid over-produces thyroid hormones.  Sometimes the eyes go back to normal once the thyroid condition is corrected; if not, treatment with steroids, radiation, or surgery may be needed.

Question 4

Bulging eyes: Go see an eye doctor to determine the cause and initiate proper treatment.  Most issues can be corrected.

Question 5

what are the options for my bulging eyes?

Accepted Answer

Depends : You should consult with a fellowship trained  oculoplastic surgeon- one who belongs to asoprs-american society of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery.  One option is to advance the eyelids to cover the protruding eyeballs.  Another option is to actually decompress the globe- actually the area around the eyeball.

Question 6

are permanent effects of hyperthryoidism bulging eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the swelling and inflammation behind the eyes causes damage to the optic nerve (nerve from eye to brain), the damage can be permanent.  Sometimes the changes in the muscles around the eyes can be permanent as well (this can be repaired with surgery usually).  If treated appropriately and quickly, the swelling usually goes away!

Question 7

are one of the late effects of hyperthryoidism bulging eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sometimes bulging eyes occurs soon after onset of hyperthyroidism.

Question 8

is it normal to have bulging eyes when i need glasses?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The eyes have a normal, physical resting position in the bony orbits in which they sit.  Bulging can be a problem but is not an indication of a need for eyeglasses.  The need for glasses called refractive power is a totally separate issue.  In extreme myopia only, the eyes can bulge forward a little.

Question 9

can eyeglasses wearing cause bulging eyes?

Accepted Answer

No: Eyeglasses are supported on the ears and nose and cannot cause the eyes to bulge forward.  Bulgivng eyes can be inherited, due to more extreme myopia, or from some diseases such as hyperthyroid (graves disease) or a lesion behind the eye which is growing.  See your ophthalmologist if you have bulging eyes;  it is not your glasses.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Endocrinologist: Hyperthyroidism must always be ruled out for patients with "bulging eyes". However your primary care family dr. Or internist can just as easily order the necessary blood tests. Good luck.
