A member asked:
Can thyroid medication for hypothyroid (levoxyl) cause eyes to swell or hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Usually not, unless the medication caused the eye to be more dry. More likely it is dry due to the environment or the thyroid condition it's self. It is possible you are developing graves ophthalmopathy (a condition associated with thyroid problems).
