A member asked:

I have thyroid eye disease. how to reduce puffiness around the eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Make sure: Thyroid level is normal. Some eye doctors use steroids (cortisone) but they generally only help while you're taking them and have many potential adverse side effects. Check w/your eye doctor.
