Thyroid eye disease, also known as Graves Ophthalmopathy, is an autoimmune condition that develops in people with hyperactive thyroid gland. The immune system attacks the thyroid gland and the eye muscles and other ocular tissues which leads to the secretion of thyroid hormone in excessive amount (hyperthyroidism), and inflammation in the eye muscles, eyelids, tear glands, and expansion of fatty tissues behind the eye. This leads to the enlargement of eye muscles and scarring of orbital tissues. In severe cases of thyroid eye disease, the eyes of patients bulge forward which results in a constricted eye movement. The protruded eye makes it difficult for the eyelid to close properly which results in an exposed cornea. Thyroid eye disease can cause blurred or double vision, dry eye, redness, and pain in the eye.

Thyroid eye disease treatment is carried out in two phases. The first phase can last up to three years where gels and ointments are used to treat the dry eye and steroids are used for autoimmune inflammation. The second phase involves surgeries to rectify the diplopia and improve eyelid closure.
