Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition that affects the muscles and tissues around the eyes. It is often linked to thyroid disorders such as Graves’ disease. Inflammation and swelling can cause symptoms like bulging eyes, dryness, redness, double vision, or eye discomfort. Thyroid eye disease can vary in severity and may require medical treatment to protect vision and eye health.
