Bulging eyes

Graves’ disease is a disorder which makes our thyroid gland release excessive hormones, which can result in this disorder and also double vision & loss of vision.

Medicines or surgery can assist in controlling the quantity of hormones that our thyroid produces; however, they would not treat the underlying disorders & may not assist our eyes.

Blurred vision
