Description:

Thyroid disorders can cause a variety of eye problems, especially an over active thyroid. This can lead to the eyes bulging out, double vision, dryness of the eyes, as well as baggy eye lids, and decreased vision. There are surgical treatments to some of these eye problems.

I take such good care of my eyes seeing my opthalmologist every year. Would this be considered cosmetic or purely for thyroid disease?
