Thyroid Eye Disease Symptoms

The most common symptoms of thyroid eye disease are fairly mild soreness in the eyes, and a gritty feeling in the eyes. It is often also noticeable that your eyes may have a heightened sensitivity to light, and that particularly around your eyes and in the upper eyelid you may experience puffiness which may be worse in the mornings.

Interesting when considering thyroid eye disease symptoms it is also worth pointing out that it is not unusual for someone to experience these symptoms worse in one eye then the other.

The first thing to do if you experience any eye problems or thyroid eye disease symptoms is that you should visit your Doctor to get checked out. It is also a good idea to give up smoking, as smoking seems to dramatically increase your chances of suffering from the condition, and also possibly to take some herbal supplements that can help your thyroid gland to recover and rebalance itself.

It is heartening to realise though that whilst thyroid eye disease symptoms can be uncomfortable, that for most people they won’t experience dramatic swelling around the eyes, or double vision, which does affect a small proportion of those with the disease.  But instead will most likely simply have puffiness and bloating around the eyes, and irritation of the eyes.

Neither of these are very comfortable, or nice to live with, but by the same token neither are life threatening, and with treatment they will most likely go away. This is not however an overnight event, as it may well take anywhere from a few months to two years for the condition to settle down on its own; and one in ten patients will have the unfortunate prospect of the condition getting worse rather than better.
