Eye Problems with Grave Disease

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone,

I had hyperthyroidism since my early 20's off and on. I'm 35 now and have Grave Disease. For about a month now my left eye has been irritable. It's glossy and cloudy to see out of. I been very busy as a mom of three and couldn't get the time to make it to the doctor. I finally went yesterday my doctor did blood work to check my levels. But I have to wait to see a eye doctor. My eye is getting worse it feels as if I pressure or something pushing on it. And my vision is foggy. I don't have the "eye pop" that is sometimes a cause of hyperthyroid. I'm a nervous about my vision especially since I have three small children. Has anyone experienced this or have any input. Any information will be greatly appreciated . Thank you!

    Absolutely get to an eye doctor ASAP! My niece just had a stroke in her eye, and has the same

    type of effects that you have. She is scheduled to see an Opthamologist. I hope this helps.
