Yes - hyperthyroidism due to Graves Disease. The first thing I did after diagnosis was went to my eye doctor. Luckily it has not impacted my eyes at this point. Not opting for treatment since it's not bothersome, because I don't want to get fat!
@@sierrastorm1291 Thanks for sharing Sierra. Medications do often have side effects and I guess that is a good reason to avoid them if you can. Happy to hear you are doing well.
I was misdiagnosed with Graves disease and was at the point of thyroid removal and a lifetime of maintenance medication. Found an article by 2 MDs at the Texas Heart Institute entitled Misdiagnosis of Graves Disease Due to Aspartame Poisoning. I started reading labels and removed aspartame from my diet (it's in everything "diet") and symptoms completely disappeared within 60 days.
I naturally have big eyes so I'm always anxious that I have graves disease despite my mother and eye doctors telling me I don't lol. This video REALLY put my anxiety at ease, thank you!!
Finally someone is talking about this. So many suffer & don't get help. All health professionals need to be looking for this when seeing patients includes dentists. Fixing these early before progression would be great. Thanks for your data.😊
I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and lost of smell,I didn't know what to do felt so confused then a friend of mine introduce me to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel who helped me get back to normal.
Thank you for this video! TED is not talked about often enough. I struggled with TED for about 10 years because no one would take me seriously about my eye pain and rapid vision changes. I have Hashimotos, Graves and TED. Unfortunately my Positive graves results were over look and not added to my records only Hashimotos was. I struggled for years with my graves and Hashimotos battling each other. I was denied thyroid removal due to only having Hashimotos on my records. I found my own missed graves results as I became very hyperthyroid again and my eyes got worse again. One week after finding my lost results my thyroid was removed as a priority surgery. 1 year post surgery my eyes went back into place. For 10 years the were bulging at 19 in the left 20 in the right. Both are now at 18 I do have permanent vision changes from lack of treatment but I could not be happier that my eyes now look even 😊
wow Dorothy! Thank you sharing your story about this. It is something we cover in school but I know a lot of times it can just sort of slip by. Super grateful you got it under control!
Autoimmune diseases in general have similar complementary holistic treatment protocols. Reduce the inflammation through reducing exposure to the inflammatory trigger. Reduce stess and increase deep relaxation. Meier Schneider (the school for self healing ) palming helps with relaxing the eye muscles and optic nerve.) Donna Gates (body ecology diet book and website) and Isabella Wentz (thyroid books and website) use an elimination diet and cleansing to help with reducing inflammation.
Fantastic video! I had a patient recently who presented with many of these symptoms. I immediately recognized his physiological presentation, but as a Paramedic vs. eye professional, I was struggling with the medical terms that matched the presentation. This video was extremely helpful.
I learned so much from your video today. My niece was experiencing a lot of symptoms that you mentioned and the doctors have been trying to come up with an answer but finally after few months she was just diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and everything you said helped me understand what she’s been going through. Thank you!
My mom has hypothyroidism and dry eyes. She’s also got RA and Sjogren’s Syndrome, so she’s followed very closely by her eye doctor. I was also recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism so this is super helpful for me to be able to recognize any of these symptoms!
I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and lost of smell,I didn't know what to do felt so confused then a friend of mine introduce me to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel who helped me get back to normal.
I was diagnosed with Graves a year and a half ago and underwent RAI treatment, now on levothyroxine. Have some double vision late at night with eye fatigue, but thankfully no proptosis! Super important to keep up with yearly exams. Thanks for your videos!!
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2004. Had a surgical thyroidectomy. Fast forward to 2023, I had all of the symptoms of Graves again!! Lost a crap ton of weight. So they readjusted my meds. NOW…I have many symptoms of TED or GED. How is this possible without having a thyroid?!
Ii remember when my son kept saying his eyes was hurting. Eye Dr sent him to a Dr. He has M.S. of the optic nerve.Crazy how the eyes can tell some of your health. This is very interesting
I was diagnosed with graves disease about ten years ago. The doctor did surgery to remove my thyroid in 2012. Since then my left eye has been bulging and it has bothered me since it started. I have been to several doctors to try to get it fixed but they all tell me it's not severe enough. But when I meet people on a daily basis they seem to think it's plenty severe. For 10 years I wake up with this on my mind and go to bed with it on my mind and I'm tried of it. My feelings stay hurt from people staring and laughing at me. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to go out in public anymore and it has effects my job. I decided to get my CDL license think I would be alone to help me but it made things worse. I went to try and get the tempezza medicine and they would not help me. No one understands me or believe me when I tell them what I'm going through. I really need help with this and no one wants to help me. I don't want to go the rest of my life scared to go outside. But I guess I don't have a choice.
I understand exactly what you are going through. I was diagnosed with graves about 8 years ago. I got RAI for it. Now, im dealing with these eye issues, and I feel all the things you do. O just never shared how i felt with anyone. I hope this past year, you have found an answer. I pray that we both do.
I have Graves Disease. I was diagnosed over a decade ago when I had a thyroid storm and ended up hospitalized until they could bring my heart rate down. I have always had really dry red eyes. I had eye pain and I was really sensitive to light at the time. The worst of it got better once my thyroid level came down and I had my thyroid removed, but I still had double vision. I agree that doctors don’t know enough about the eye issues with Graves’ disease, but my family doctor and even my endocrinologist were both pretty clueless about how much I was affected by Graves’ disease. When I tried to tell my family doctor I was having trouble reading and wasn’t all better after surgery, she prescribed me anti-depressants. Seriously. I went to my optometrist after that and she referred me to an ophthalmologist. I wish I had seen him from the beginning because he knew more about Graves’ disease than any other doctor I saw. I was given a lot of eye drops and had prisms made for my glasses to help with the double vision. 5 years later, I developed idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and I was referred back to the same ophthalmologist by my neurologist. I am so grateful to him, and to the neuro-ophthalmologist who eventually treated me.
Thank you for this timely video Dr. Alan. I was diagnosed with Grave's disease 1.5 month ago after a thyroid storm and my eyes have been changing so rapidly with just about all the symptoms you listed! They're no longer so swollen and red after my total thyroidectomy last week, but I still have lid retraction, lid lag, and dry eyes. Getting consultation for Tepezza soon!
My first indication of thyroid problems was seeing double. Very scary. My right eye always feels like there's something in it. Coincidentally, or maybe not, that is the same side as the thyroid nodule I have.
All the women in my family have thyroid low thyroid problems. I have a lot of the symptoms including the 3 and 9 o’clock red eye. No matter how many different types of thyroid tests I take over the decades the tests are always “normal” range.
Have you had an ultrasound of the thyroid? My levels were fine but the ultrasound showed something else. Ended up with a partial to a total 10 years apart.
Thank you. First eye doc lined up surgery for cataracts, said would address eye pain and wouldn’t answer any questions. Glad sought second opinion. Doc confirmed cataracts but no surgery until pain & condition corrected first. He set follow up with Internal Medicine Primary for lab work and thyroid check, and neurological - ophthalmologist. Been scary, but this has helped.
yes. I have hashimoto and chronic dry eye and I have noticed in the past year I have double vision in my good eye ( was born crosseyed and had surgery as a child). None of the eye doctors have mentioned the connection between thyroid issues and dry eye or diplopia
Any tips on finding a good eye doctor? Just had an examination and it wasn’t very thorough. I have RA and diabetes. Sometimes my vision is normal and sometimes everything goes blurry, double vision and I can’t read.
The doctor managing your diabetes should be able to refer you to a credible ophthalmologist. You should be getting yearly dilated exams with diagnostic images to watch for diabetic retinopathy and other issues depending on the treatment of your RA! Check with your PCP but continue being your own advocate! Your vision is your independence! Take good care of it!
highly recommend getting in touch with a retinal specialist to check for any diabetic retinopathy! there are plenty of issues that could occur in the back of the eye
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis ~ Diagnosed December 2010 Hyperparathyroidism ~ “….” Primary Hypothyroidism ~ “…” Sjogren’s Arthritis ~ diagnosed October 1996 My whole life, I have been dealing with severe eye & mouth dryness. I started seeing an endocrinologist in Dec. of 2010. Currently, my eye Dr. has me on a steroid eye drop, because my daily regimen of eye drops has not been enough. Right now, I am waiting two more weeks for the punctal plugs to arrive at the eye Dr.’s office; this procedure will be the sixth time for this type of treatment. Any suggestions? Thanks for all your recent informational videos about dry eyes! 👀
Oh I was just thinking why do I feel like I have sand or dirt in not 1 but both eyes! Immediately I said it could be dry eyes. And I did think thyroid. I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto about a month ago. But to find out I could go blind! That’s insane at my age. I might as well be dead! Who is going to take care of me? I’ve always taken care of me and everyone else. Have you ever heard of anyone getting better after they have all these ailments with their eyes ? I’m doing everything nutrition wise to heal this. I know stress is a biggie, but it’s as though you wake up stressed, it’s anxiety you never knew you had or rather you were not bothered by much and you handled it. I was so strong and healthy and now I’m watching something completely different with my body and mind.
I have ted and looking at me I don’t have the visuals but I sure feel it and live with it. Had strabismus surgery after Tepezza did not work for me . Having a Dr that specializes this is key. I was blessed to have one.
@@DoctorEyeHealth well, my surgeon felt it helped with the muscles with surgery. Instead of having to cut into 4 separate muscles as he normally would, he just cut into 2 for each eye so he felt it lessened the inflammation and toughness of those muscles.
Thank you for all the info!! I’m going to see an ophtalmologist as soon as I get an appointment. Ive also been referred to an endocrinologist. I have hyperthyroidism confirmed by blood work. Going to check for thyroid antibodies on my next blood draw. I had a bunch of weird symptoms. High HR 90-140! (My previous resting was 60bpm!) Scary! So hot allll the time. Tremors. Sometimes visible shaking but almost always feels like I’m vibrating. Scary. Eye symptoms: 👁️ Left eye sclera showing all around iris Pain feels like pressure and sometimes dry sometimes very teary. Looking down is better than straight ahead or up. Driving feels like a strain with more pain.
Aw, my twin! A whole year after experiencing the tremors, palpitations, brain fog and hot flushes, my left eye started to have scleral show. I thought it was ptosis in the right eye and went to the optician twice. I was referred to an ophthalmologist on the second visit in a very blasé manner as optician still thought it was nothing (thank God he did though!). The ophthalmologists at the hospital also seemed to think nothing was wrong but just as they were about to send me home, one of the senior staff asked to look at my eye quickly before I left. He then said the right eyelid wasn’t droopy but that the left eyelid was higher. Cue more eye tests, blood tests and now an endocrinologist appointment scheduled for February - I’m so scared for the future I wish it was something that could be managed with lifestyle changes rather than meds or surgery 😪 I know I’m jumping the gun here - I should wait for the endocrinologist appointment before I start making predictions… Wishing you the very best on your thyroid journey ❤❤
Hi Dr. Eye Health-- FIRST, thanks for your clear videos, and good diction. So many people, even broadcast 'professionals', are so LAZY in their vocal delivery. Just like with vision, voice-delivered content should be clear and immediately comprehensible. ♥ I'm 73 and was diagnosed in my early teens as having hypothyroidism. I took synthroid for a few years. Then re-diagnosed again at 40, have been on low dose synthroid since. Under the care of a great eye specialist for checkups 3x yearly since I had a macular wrinkle that resolved itself. No treatment needed. Now due for cataract surgeries. ***I asked the Dr about something puzzling me since my teen years--one eye sees ( turf grass for instance) with a green tint, one sees with a more blue tint. He'd never encountered this. any comments?
Oh that is interesting! And thank you for your kind words! With color discrepancies I think of medical conditions such as cataracts which can act like a yellow filter and maybe make things look different if the two eyes are not symmetric. In addition, any optic nerve damage can cause color perception changes (such as optic neuritis). But if the eyes are healthy, perhaps the way the retina formed as a child??? hard to know.
Thank you for this video, i've been treated for my thyroid for over 20 years, and I've had at least five of these symptoms come and go. But now my left eye is losing vision it seems. I have to get this checked out. I didn't know that they may be related.
Hi Dr. Allen, I was diagnosed with Graves in 2016 while I was in my 1st thyroid storm put on medication for 2 yrs and finally was somewhat in "normal" range but my eye site was all over the place. in November of 2018 I ended up in another thyroid storm and nodules my 3rd endocrinologist (saving grace) tried to get my levels "normal" again with no luck and at the end of March of 2019 I had my thyroid removed. My levels where up and down and in 2020 I was then diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My eye site was all over the place I was in and out with my eye Dr. And several others for 2nd opinions and I have allergies to solutions. In 2021, and to today my a1c and thyroid levels are now normal and I feel great, however my eyesite has still been allover. My endo says it's rare but I could still get TED, the other eye Dr's I've seen say no, since July of 2022 I have had horrible dry eyes. I've been tested twice for sojourns, Noth time negative, it also started after getting covid, and didn't have any luck with restasis. I've tried so many drops, masks,humidifiers, and taping my eyes shut at night as well as new eye Dr's with no luck. I just paid out of pocket to go back to my old eye Dr since he known my health history for the last 20+ years. Sorry for the long rant. So my question for you is have you seen anyone with out their thyroid still have TED? I was given some samples of the other drops so I'm hoping for better results that restasis. Do you have a recommendation on hydration sleep masks? I love your channel and all the stuff you post! (my subscription might of been on my old phone other acct) Lastly thanks 😊
@@noorulhuda4729 Thanks for asking. My left eye it has been just the same. This is when I read, watch T.V., texting, even playing my guitar, and when I focus with my left eye. It is a terrible burning, irritating and painful situation specially once it gets dark at night and I just do not sleep because of it. And all my left part of my body from my head down to the the sole of my feet and also my heart beats faster. it is also a terrible feeling. My prescribed glasses help some. This is beem going on since I was 26 year old, now I am 62. When it first started I went to an Ophthalmologist and He gave me some drops with a red label I remember and I kept it, and I was just fine again, two years later this terrible feeling came back to me, so I went back to the same ophthalmologist, He was from China Very Good Doctor, and asked him to give the same drops because I took the little battle with me with the red label, He din't want to give them to me once again after two years, He told me that the same drops could harm me, and I asked why ?, after two years ?, yes he told me. Too bad I threw away after some time the eye drops bottle. I wish I had it with me, because I din't know what it was. Once Again Thanks For Your Attention. I keep Watching Your Videos In My cellular.
@@alejandrogramirez3868 the same issue im facing with my right eye its been 7 months went to so many drs nothing has helped im daily crying .im just 19 what bad i've done to get this also the google makes me so much scared i read about slk eye disease and it told me you need surgey daily anxiety attacks thyroid issues health is not in good state🙁🙁🙁
One Dr could not even read the ecography report, and told me it's stress and game medicine to sleep better. This is in European country. It's very depressing when Doctors who are supposed to help patients don't know what they are doing.
Great vid. I got it bang on. Someone i know has a slow working of the tyroidgland. Above that OD was amblyopia with less the 0.05 vision. She was constantly complaining about dryness(it fellt like sandpaper, that bad). The best i could do was get her te wear glasses and using hylo gel. Thats the most relief she fellt in years...
I love your videos! They’re so informative at helping me understand my recent eye issues. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease that was treated with radioactive iodine therapy and now I have acquired hypothyroidism. My vision issues have become really bad over the past year with reoccurring Uveitis, Blepharitis, and chronic dry eye. I’ve been taking steroid eye drops for about a year now with little to no consistent improvement. Have you ever heard of radioactive iodine therapy causing or worsening dry eye syndrome?
I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and lost of smell,I didn't know what to do felt so confused then a friend of mine introduce me to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel who helped me get back to normal.
I learned yesterday finally that after 6 or 7 eye Dr's and my own amazing endocrinologist that even after a thyroidectomy due to Graves Disease you can STILL GET TED 😢. I wish more doctors knew this. The last 2 1/2 years have been hell. It was my daughter's eye surgeon who did her strabismus surgery that actually told me to get to TED eye Dr and yes I could still get Zted After a thyroidectomy.
I'm 28 years old and I've been having itching, irritated eyes as if they're swollen or sore. I feel like I need to massage them or rest them constantly. I don't have any bulging or double vision though. I'm gonna get an eye exam next week and see what they say
In 2016 l was diagnosed with Graves Disease, Exophthalmos / T.E.D and Thyroid Disease. I still suffer from dry eyes where my eyelids don’t shut at night and l can’t stand the sunshine, it makes my eyes weep, l have been taping my eyes shut with paper tape ever since.
I have hypothyroidism and graves disease this is worst I would never wish this even to my enemy. my eye gets super dry my orbital area gets inflammed and when I blink i feel like something is in my eye foreign body sensation went to so many drs but nobody helps specially this year Im facing alot just pray for me that I heal soon
Hi Doctor, love your informative videos. I have been struggling with severe dry eyes and I also have hypothyroidism however couldnt find a good doctor who can do all the screening. Can you please recommend a doctor or healthcare provider who can do all the necessary screeing in dallas fort worth area?
Hi colleague... I had a Px with Graves. A year ago he achieved fusion with 9-BD LE, 4-BO RE (I splited those prisms). Last month he achieved fusion with 17-BD LE, 9-BO RE (first time progressive glasses) He followed-up by different MD's and other Optometrists in my country, but last year was the first time he saw one picture again.
I’ve been waiting for this video because I suffer from TED. Thank u. I have seen that some foods can help with this disease. Do u agree? If so plz make a Part 2 on TED. Great info! I’ve asked and u delivered.
Ingchr6 what foods have you found to be helpful? I don't want to be on a lot of medication. If there are natural remedies out there, I'd like to try them.
please make a video on Visual snow syndrome and ghost vision i am having ghost vision which is very severe and i want to know if it is caused by visual snow syndrome
I have low thyroid, and I've been told I also have Ocular Rosacea. I take thyroid med and doxcycline for the rosacea, along with eye drops for dry eye and warm compresses with a washcloth. Is that enough to do? I will also be getting thyroid up to date lab work done soon.
I have every problem you have described. Over the years I was sent to eye specialist to watch if my one eye got any bigger. I am very conscious of my left eye protruding more than my right. I have also now been told I have wet macular degeneration which I believe there is no treatment. My mum had it and lost her central vision in her 80's. Could this problem be as a result of my massive thyroid problem years ago. I was hypo then hyper. I was given iodine 125 which destroyed the thyroid and it has been 30 years and I am still having to have blood tests every couple of months and my dose of thyroxine constantly being changed. It really is a pain. Could any of these problems been alleviated by treatment?
I take a pill for hypothyroidism. What type of eye doctor do you recommend seeing for the most thorough checkups? I usually just go to the cheap lenses places, and I know they probably have junior level doctors.
My eye doctor determined I have 2 mm proptosis in my left eye, my thyroid levels are low normal range. My doctor said no need for further evaluation. Do you think an orbital mri should be ordered?
I was diagnosed with grave disease my eyes are bulge and i am on medication but each time I do the blood test they say my THC is very low can you tell me what to eat.or not
I started the meds for graves 2 weeks ago, and I think one of my eyes, maybe both, have TED. One eye looks larger than it used to be, with no symptoms, the other with a much lower lid, especially when I’m tired and is red when I wake up. Guess I need to see an ophthalmologist. Update: the eye that looks larger, now looks swollen above the eye lid, almost closing off my tear duct.
I just happened onto your channel, and I wanted to check it out. I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine. I'm experiencing diplopia and exophthalmosis in my left eye. I have sharp pain in that eye, and I wear glasses with a prism lens. ( I also have a macular pucker in that eye) My eye doctor, a specialist, said, "I'm not convinced this is thyroid eye disease." But never said what it may be. I'm being monitored, but no one is saying much. Can you shed any light on this? Or anyone reading these posts?
Hi doctor. I've been following you for sometime and your content has helped me a lot. But I have a problem and I don't seem to be able to find the answer anywhere on the internet: My vision is flickering like a PC monitor refresh rate. It's clearly noticable when I look at the sky or the moonlight or even my textbooks. I haven't been able to read a thing for my university exams. I've searched everywhere about it, but I couldn't find anything. I'm ready scared.
Hey Javad. Thanks for the question. I wish I could offer more help but flickering such as you describe sounds like it could either be a retinal or neurological thing. The best thing would be to see a local eye doctor and if the eyes are healthy, perhaps they can refer you to a neurologist if needed. Do you also experience migraines headaches? I wish you the best on your exams.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for your response. When I try to read, yes, I get a headache, but normally, no, I don't. What I've been struggling with is mostly reading a book. I don't even have a problems while reading on my phone or on my laptop. It's not that the flickering is really obvious in my daily life, it's just becomes more visible when I want to read. Or to be more specific, when I try to focus on something. My university has been online for the past 2 years, I've been using my laptop constantly, and my sleeping schedule in the past 3 years hasn't been that good either. I've been indoors for the most part of the past 2 years, and haven't been geting enough daylight, even though I basically live in a desert. I've kinda been a night owl, reading, writing and using my laptop (a lot!) trough the night for the past 3 years. The lighting in my room is relatively ok. I use florescent lights.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I should also mention that unless I want to read or focus on a small object, the flicker between light and dark is barely noticeable. Even when I'm reading, I should think a little to find out why I can't read clearly. Its not that the text gets blurry when I try to read. And also, the darkening is not completely dark, it's kinda gets a bit dimmer for a millisecond, then becomes normal again for another millisecond, and the cycle continues. I barely feel it, unless I focus.
Lost my sense of smell to Covid 19 and I also have hypothyroidism Last year and since then I've been searching for cure until I came across Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel with herbs remedy am completely cured
Hi Dr. I've reached what I've searched for. I've had Graves Disease, and been Hypo and Hyper Thyroid for many many years. I've had a very noticeable change in my pupil, lid and drooping of the eyes. I'm unable to get a definitive answer from my Eye surgeon. Do you have recommendations for the Chicagoland area? Thank you.
I had 5cm hurthle cell carcinoma that was pressing against my trachea. I complained of not being able to breathe, a ball in my throat, and not being able to speak for more than 10 minutes before losing my voice. Even when the lump appeared on my neck and I was losing weight at a rapid rate, the doctor questioned my thyroid cancer because the blood tests came back normal.
Good day doctor I was recently diagnosed with thyroid eye disease Right eye I have severe pain on right side of face ear and skull Is that normal for this condition Cheek is also very numb Thank you

Hey Alan Thankyou for the info. This is mohammed from india and i suffered from thyroid eye disease and after watching ur video im glad that u know so much about thyroid. I still suffer from ted natural treatments are working wonders for me.
Does anyone know if this shows up in one eye more ? I am on my second Brain Tumor so I had a Brain Tumor removed 10 years via Craniotomy and now I have a new Brain Tumor so when my eye started showing these signs the Doctors were focusing on the Tumor so I’m just trying to get as much information as I can because I also have Epilepsy and the Doctors Focused on the first Brain Tumor and my Wife actually figured out it was Epilepsy but I’m not saying my doctors are bad at their jobs they are great they have literally saved my life it’s just hard to diagnose someone who is in rough shape from head to toe.
Hello Dr. I was diagnosed with grave's disease late last year, i am currently on methimazole tab 5mg./day before it was 15mg./day then reduced to 10mg./day Now its 5mg. Only this month i noticed my left upper eye lid is swollen, painful, i also noticed redness and dryness i started doing eye exercises that i watched in youtube and apply eyedrops as well. will this help in slowly progressing TED? I am hoping you could answer my concern, thank you.
i was fortunate that when i went into my ENT for puffy eyelids she immediately sent me to Endo and said "this could be graves disease, im gonna let Endo drive on this one".. and she was right
I keep telling my optometrist about a severe down drag like double vision in my left eye, and the right eye goes up. I have had thyroid levels checked many times due to weight issues, & I have been told everything is normal. It is absolutely horrific for me to watch TV, or really focus on anything that involves light. I just wonder if this is a possibility for me, even though my levels always show normal...
Is anti glare and anti reflective coating are the same or not! should I apply anti glare and anti reflective coating in both sides or just in inside part for sunglasses! Is dust and water repellent is a coating or natural attributes of polycarbonate lens! Please reply, it will help me a lot
Hi, I have writen in your other videos, thank you so much for your advice. I have thyroid eye disease and have one protruding eye and extremely puffy eyelids. I will ask my eye doctor about Trepezz treatment. I'm not sure I have spelt it correctly lol, I also wanted to know if hot compression helps with swelling?
Hello sir.. I just want to ask coz I have hyperthyroidism.. And my eyes is bulging.. Can you help coz its been 1year since I was diagnosed but until now may eyes are getting swollen
I’m really struggling. My right eye has sunken into the socket with a sunken upper eyelid sulcus within the last 3 months. I also have handfuls of hair loss, missed periods, severe weight loss. I saw ophthalmologist he said I have dry eyes. My primary care said prolactin is high then did more blood work and said everything’s fine. But it’s not. I asked to see ent. Been waiting for 3 weeks to get a ct scan. I feel like no one understands. I see ophthalmologist tomorrow and pray he will order a scan or address the enophthalmos. I wonder if my eye Dr can do blood work or send me to specialists because primary care doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Anyone here ever diagnosed with thyroid problems?
Yes - hyperthyroidism due to Graves Disease. The first thing I did after diagnosis was went to my eye doctor. Luckily it has not impacted my eyes at this point. Not opting for treatment since it's not bothersome, because I don't want to get fat!

Thanks! 😃 I seem to have better control over just one side of my face, however. Maybe with practice I can get the other side up to speed.
Thank you for this video! TED is not talked about often enough. I struggled with TED for about 10 years because no one would take me seriously about my eye pain and rapid vision changes. I have Hashimotos, Graves and TED. Unfortunately my Positive graves results were over look and not added to my records only Hashimotos was. I struggled for years with my graves and Hashimotos battling each other. I was denied thyroid removal due to only having Hashimotos on my records. I found my own missed graves results as I became very hyperthyroid again and my eyes got worse again. One week after finding my lost results my thyroid was removed as a priority surgery. 1 year post surgery my eyes went back into place. For 10 years the were bulging at 19 in the left 20 in the right. Both are now at 18 I do have permanent vision changes from lack of treatment but I could not be happier that my eyes now look even 😊
wow Dorothy! Thank you sharing your story about this. It is something we cover in school but I know a lot of times it can just sort of slip by. Super grateful you got it under control!
Autoimmune diseases in general have similar complementary holistic treatment protocols. Reduce the inflammation through reducing exposure to the inflammatory trigger. Reduce stess and increase deep relaxation. Meier Schneider (the school for self healing ) palming helps with relaxing the eye muscles and optic nerve.) Donna Gates (body ecology diet book and website) and Isabella Wentz (thyroid books and website) use an elimination diet and cleansing to help with reducing inflammation.
Fantastic video! I had a patient recently who presented with many of these symptoms. I immediately recognized his physiological presentation, but as a Paramedic vs. eye professional, I was struggling with the medical terms that matched the presentation. This video was extremely helpful.
Wow that makes me feel good. So happy i am able to help! Keep up the great work. Paremedics see a crazy amount of stuff.
I learned so much from your video today. My niece was experiencing a lot of symptoms that you mentioned and the doctors have been trying to come up with an answer but finally after few months she was just diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and everything you said helped me understand what she’s been going through. Thank you!
Wow, I'm glad it helped so much. Wishing all the best to your niece.
My mom has hypothyroidism and dry eyes. She’s also got RA and Sjogren’s Syndrome, so she’s followed very closely by her eye doctor. I was also recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism so this is super helpful for me to be able to recognize any of these symptoms!
Wow! Yeah sounds like your mom had a lot going on. Hope you are both doing well.
I have had this for a year now,so grateful to God I came across Dr Obinyan on TH-cam, he cured me from hypothyroidism💚💚💚
I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and lost of smell,I didn't know what to do felt so confused then a friend of mine introduce me to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel who helped me get back to normal.
I was diagnosed with Graves a year and a half ago and underwent RAI treatment, now on levothyroxine. Have some double vision late at night with eye fatigue, but thankfully no proptosis! Super important to keep up with yearly exams. Thanks for your videos!!
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2004. Had a surgical thyroidectomy. Fast forward to 2023, I had all of the symptoms of Graves again!! Lost a crap ton of weight. So they readjusted my meds. NOW…I have many symptoms of TED or GED. How is this possible without having a thyroid?!
Ii remember when my son kept saying his eyes was hurting. Eye Dr sent him to a Dr. He has M.S. of the optic nerve.Crazy how the eyes can tell some of your health. This is very interesting
I was diagnosed with graves disease about ten years ago. The doctor did surgery to remove my thyroid in 2012. Since then my left eye has been bulging and it has bothered me since it started. I have been to several doctors to try to get it fixed but they all tell me it's not severe enough. But when I meet people on a daily basis they seem to think it's plenty severe. For 10 years I wake up with this on my mind and go to bed with it on my mind and I'm tried of it. My feelings stay hurt from people staring and laughing at me. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to go out in public anymore and it has effects my job. I decided to get my CDL license think I would be alone to help me but it made things worse. I went to try and get the tempezza medicine and they would not help me. No one understands me or believe me when I tell them what I'm going through. I really need help with this and no one wants to help me. I don't want to go the rest of my life scared to go outside. But I guess I don't have a choice.
It is heart warming to hear silence again without sound disturbance, all thanks to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel for his herbs remedy....
I'm in the same boat as u I'm currently paying 4 surgery 2 fix it.
@Terencerobbins I feel for you. I am so sorry for,what you are going through. I wish I could contact you for someone for you to talk to.
I understand exactly what you are going through. I was diagnosed with graves about 8 years ago. I got RAI for it. Now, im dealing with these eye issues, and I feel all the things you do. O just never shared how i felt with anyone. I hope this past year, you have found an answer. I pray that we both do.
I have Graves Disease. I was diagnosed over a decade ago when I had a thyroid storm and ended up hospitalized until they could bring my heart rate down. I have always had really dry red eyes. I had eye pain and I was really sensitive to light at the time. The worst of it got better once my thyroid level came down and I had my thyroid removed, but I still had double vision. I agree that doctors don’t know enough about the eye issues with Graves’ disease, but my family doctor and even my endocrinologist were both pretty clueless about how much I was affected by Graves’ disease. When I tried to tell my family doctor I was having trouble reading and wasn’t all better after surgery, she prescribed me anti-depressants. Seriously. I went to my optometrist after that and she referred me to an ophthalmologist. I wish I had seen him from the beginning because he knew more about Graves’ disease than any other doctor I saw. I was given a lot of eye drops and had prisms made for my glasses to help with the double vision. 5 years later, I developed idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and I was referred back to the same ophthalmologist by my neurologist. I am so grateful to him, and to the neuro-ophthalmologist who eventually treated me.
I think we are on the same page here. It’s crazy 😢😢
Thank you for this timely video Dr. Alan. I was diagnosed with Grave's disease 1.5 month ago after a thyroid storm and my eyes have been changing so rapidly with just about all the symptoms you listed! They're no longer so swollen and red after my total thyroidectomy last week, but I still have lid retraction, lid lag, and dry eyes. Getting consultation for Tepezza soon!
My first indication of thyroid problems was seeing double. Very scary. My right eye always feels like there's something in it. Coincidentally, or maybe not, that is the same side as the thyroid nodule I have.
This was an excellent informative simple to understand video. Got to the points immediately Thank u. Well done.
I had a lot of eye problems, and supplemented with iodine specific supplements which made a big difference.
I love that we can learn a lot from your videos! 😎
Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism..
Thank you so much Alex!!!
All the women in my family have thyroid low thyroid problems. I have a lot of the symptoms including the 3 and 9 o’clock red eye. No matter how many different types of thyroid tests I take over the decades the tests are always “normal” range.
Have you had an ultrasound of the thyroid? My levels were fine but the ultrasound showed something else. Ended up with a partial to a total 10 years apart.
Thank you. First eye doc lined up surgery for cataracts, said would address eye pain and wouldn’t answer any questions. Glad sought second opinion. Doc confirmed cataracts but no surgery until pain & condition corrected first. He set follow up with Internal Medicine Primary for lab work and thyroid check, and neurological - ophthalmologist. Been scary, but this has helped.
yes. I have hashimoto and chronic dry eye and I have noticed in the past year I have double vision in my good eye ( was born crosseyed and had surgery as a child). None of the eye doctors have mentioned the connection between thyroid issues and dry eye or diplopia
Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism..
Any tips on finding a good eye doctor? Just had an examination and it wasn’t very thorough. I have RA and diabetes. Sometimes my vision is normal and sometimes everything goes blurry, double vision and I can’t read.
Read reviews of the eye doctor, if high reviews and many people have been there then I would go there too
The doctor managing your diabetes should be able to refer you to a credible ophthalmologist. You should be getting yearly dilated exams with diagnostic images to watch for diabetic retinopathy and other issues depending on the treatment of your RA! Check with your PCP but continue being your own advocate! Your vision is your independence! Take good care of it!
It is heart warming to hear silence again without sound disturbance, all thanks to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel for his herbs remedy....
highly recommend getting in touch with a retinal specialist to check for any diabetic retinopathy! there are plenty of issues that could occur in the back of the eye
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis ~ Diagnosed December 2010
Hyperparathyroidism ~ “….”
Primary Hypothyroidism ~ “…”
Sjogren’s Arthritis ~ diagnosed October 1996
My whole life, I have been dealing with severe eye & mouth dryness. I started seeing an endocrinologist in Dec. of 2010.
Currently, my eye Dr. has me on a steroid eye drop, because my daily regimen of eye drops has not been enough. Right now, I am waiting two more weeks for the punctal plugs to arrive at the eye Dr.’s office; this procedure will be the sixth time for this type of treatment. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all your recent informational videos about dry eyes! 👀
I just got it and this video really helped me to see if I had it and I had 4 of the signs
Thank you !
Hey that's great to hear!
Oh I was just thinking why do I feel like I have sand or
dirt in not 1 but both eyes! Immediately I said it could be dry eyes. And I did think thyroid.
I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto about a month ago. But to find out I could go blind! That’s insane at my age. I might as well be dead! Who is going to take care of me? I’ve always taken care of me and everyone else.
Have you ever heard of anyone getting better after they have all these ailments with their eyes ? I’m doing everything nutrition wise to heal this. I know stress is a biggie, but it’s as though you wake up stressed, it’s anxiety you never knew you had or rather you were not bothered by much and you handled it. I was so strong and healthy and now I’m watching something completely different with my body and mind.
I have ted and looking at me I don’t have the visuals but I sure feel it and live with it. Had strabismus surgery after Tepezza did not work for me . Having a Dr that specializes this is key. I was blessed to have one.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry to hear Tepezza didn’t work out
@@DoctorEyeHealth well, my surgeon felt it helped with the muscles with surgery. Instead of having to cut into 4 separate muscles as he normally would, he just cut into 2 for each eye so he felt it lessened the inflammation and toughness of those muscles.
Thank you for all the info!!
I’m going to see an ophtalmologist as soon as I get an appointment. Ive also been referred to an endocrinologist.
I have hyperthyroidism confirmed by blood work. Going to check for thyroid antibodies on my next blood draw.
I had a bunch of weird symptoms. High HR 90-140! (My previous resting was 60bpm!) Scary!
So hot allll the time.
Tremors. Sometimes visible shaking but almost always feels like I’m vibrating. Scary.
Eye symptoms: 👁️
Left eye sclera showing all around iris
Pain feels like pressure and sometimes dry sometimes very teary.
Looking down is better than straight ahead or up. Driving feels like a strain with more pain.
Aw, my twin! A whole year after experiencing the tremors, palpitations, brain fog and hot flushes, my left eye started to have scleral show. I thought it was ptosis in the right eye and went to the optician twice. I was referred to an ophthalmologist on the second visit in a very blasé manner as optician still thought it was nothing (thank God he did though!).
The ophthalmologists at the hospital also seemed to think nothing was wrong but just as they were about to send me home, one of the senior staff asked to look at my eye quickly before I left. He then said the right eyelid wasn’t droopy but that the left eyelid was higher. Cue more eye tests, blood tests and now an endocrinologist appointment scheduled for February - I’m so scared for the future I wish it was something that could be managed with lifestyle changes rather than meds or surgery 😪
I know I’m jumping the gun here - I should wait for the endocrinologist appointment before I start making predictions…
Wishing you the very best on your thyroid journey ❤❤
EXELENT EXPLAINT DR YOU ARE AMAZING WELL DONE GOOD EDUCATION FOR US ALL
Thank you Dr for the informations. Can be treated and healed.
Hi Dr. Eye Health-- FIRST, thanks for your clear videos, and good diction. So many people, even broadcast 'professionals', are so LAZY in their vocal delivery. Just like with vision, voice-delivered content should be clear and immediately comprehensible. ♥
I'm 73 and was diagnosed in my early teens as having hypothyroidism. I took synthroid for a few years. Then re-diagnosed again at 40, have been on low dose synthroid since. Under the care of a great eye specialist for checkups 3x yearly since I had a macular wrinkle that resolved itself. No treatment needed. Now due for cataract surgeries.
***I asked the Dr about something puzzling me since my teen years--one eye sees ( turf grass for instance) with a green tint, one sees with a more blue tint. He'd never encountered this. any comments?
Oh that is interesting! And thank you for your kind words!
With color discrepancies I think of medical conditions such as cataracts which can act like a yellow filter and maybe make things look different if the two eyes are not symmetric. In addition, any optic nerve damage can cause color perception changes (such as optic neuritis). But if the eyes are healthy, perhaps the way the retina formed as a child??? hard to know.
you really have a lot of eye tricks for an eye doctor. Your job suits you well.. Thanks doc
Thank you for this video, i've been treated for my thyroid for over 20 years, and I've had at least five of these symptoms come and go. But now my left eye is losing vision it seems. I have to get this checked out. I didn't know that they may be related.
Hi doctor how can I get rid of the bulging eyes?? Like how can I make the eyes back to normal?
hey doc can you please make a separate video on superior limbic keratocunjunctivitis treatments and conjunctivochalsis
Hi Dr. Allen, I was diagnosed with Graves in 2016 while I was in my 1st thyroid storm put on medication for 2 yrs and finally was somewhat in "normal" range but my eye site was all over the place. in November of 2018 I ended up in another thyroid storm and nodules my 3rd endocrinologist (saving grace) tried to get my levels "normal" again with no luck and at the end of March of 2019 I had my thyroid removed. My levels where up and down and in 2020 I was then diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My eye site was all over the place I was in and out with my eye Dr. And several others for 2nd opinions and I have allergies to solutions. In 2021, and to today my a1c and thyroid levels are now normal and I feel great, however my eyesite has still been allover. My endo says it's rare but I could still get TED, the other eye Dr's I've seen say no, since July of 2022 I have had horrible dry eyes. I've been tested twice for sojourns, Noth time negative, it also started after getting covid, and didn't have any luck with restasis. I've tried so many drops, masks,humidifiers, and taping my eyes shut at night as well as new eye Dr's with no luck. I just paid out of pocket to go back to my old eye Dr since he known my health history for the last 20+ years. Sorry for the long rant.
So my question for you is have you seen anyone with out their thyroid still have TED?
I was given some samples of the other drops so I'm hoping for better results that restasis.
Do you have a recommendation on hydration sleep masks?
I love your channel and all the stuff you post! (my subscription might of been on my old phone other acct)
Lastly thanks 😊
GOOD VIDEO ! . My Thyroid test came out fine. I am still suffering with this problem, only with my left eye.
how is your eye now??
@@noorulhuda4729 Thanks for asking. My left eye it has been just the same. This is when I read, watch T.V., texting, even playing my guitar, and when I focus with my left eye. It is a terrible burning, irritating and painful situation specially once it gets dark at night and I just do not sleep because of it. And all my left part of my body from my head down to the the sole of my feet and also my heart beats faster. it is also a terrible feeling. My prescribed glasses help some. This is beem going on since I was 26 year old, now I am 62. When it first started I went to an Ophthalmologist and He gave me some drops with a red label I remember and I kept it, and I was just fine again, two years later this terrible feeling came back to me, so I went back to the same ophthalmologist, He was from China Very Good Doctor, and asked him to give the same drops because I took the little battle with me with the red label, He din't want to give them to me once again after two years, He told me that the same drops could harm me, and I asked why ?, after two years ?, yes he told me. Too bad I threw away after some time the eye drops bottle. I wish I had it with me, because I din't know what it was. Once Again Thanks For Your Attention. I keep Watching Your Videos In My cellular.
@@alejandrogramirez3868 the same issue im facing with my right eye its been 7 months went to so many drs nothing has helped im daily crying .im just 19 what bad i've done to get this also the google makes me so much scared i read about slk eye disease and it told me you need surgey daily anxiety attacks thyroid issues health is not in good state🙁🙁🙁
Me too... How are u now?
pls update
Thank you 😊 a doctor from sri lanka 🇱🇰 🙏.
Thank you for watching!!!!! How are thing in Sri Lanka?
Brilliant. How does one find such a well-informed doctor? Are there specialties in health above merely checking for needed refraction?
Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism.
Every eye doctor should be doing more than just refracting. If yours doesn't then find a new one...
@@Akira-jd2zr Are you a patient too??
@@markhorttor8232 Well, technically everyone should be a patient because everyone should get an eye exam at least every few years.
@@Akira-jd2zr it's means you are a patient search Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel for permanent cure
One Dr could not even read the ecography report, and told me it's stress and game medicine to sleep better. This is in European country. It's very depressing when Doctors who are supposed to help patients don't know what they are doing.
Thank you so much, doctor, your video helps us a lot. I am 85 years old and taking medicine for hypothyrodism. God Bless you doctor from USA
You are most welcome
Great vid. I got it bang on. Someone i know has a slow working of the tyroidgland. Above that OD was amblyopia with less the 0.05 vision. She was constantly complaining about dryness(it fellt like sandpaper, that bad). The best i could do was get her te wear glasses and using hylo gel. Thats the most relief she fellt in years...
Thanks for sharing!
You doing amazing work dear brother with pure heart and pure soul 💞👍
Thank you kindly!
I love your videos! They’re so informative at helping me understand my recent eye issues. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease that was treated with radioactive iodine therapy and now I have acquired hypothyroidism. My vision issues have become really bad over the past year with reoccurring Uveitis, Blepharitis, and chronic dry eye. I’ve been taking steroid eye drops for about a year now with little to no consistent improvement. Have you ever heard of radioactive iodine therapy causing or worsening dry eye syndrome?
I have been struggling with hypothyroidism and lost of smell,I didn't know what to do felt so confused then a friend of mine introduce me to Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel who helped me get back to normal.
How’ve you been, Doc? Thanks for the content as usual
Doing alright! Thanks for asking. I appreciate it!
Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism.
I learned yesterday finally that after 6 or 7 eye Dr's and my own amazing endocrinologist that even after a thyroidectomy due to Graves Disease you can STILL GET TED 😢. I wish more doctors knew this. The last 2 1/2 years have been hell. It was my daughter's eye surgeon who did her strabismus surgery that actually told me to get to TED eye Dr and yes I could still get Zted After a thyroidectomy.
I'm 28 years old and I've been having itching, irritated eyes as if they're swollen or sore. I feel like I need to massage them or rest them constantly. I don't have any bulging or double vision though. I'm gonna get an eye exam next week and see what they say
Thank you for this vital information.
In 2016 l was diagnosed with Graves Disease, Exophthalmos / T.E.D and Thyroid Disease. I still suffer from dry eyes where my eyelids don’t shut at night and l can’t stand the sunshine, it makes my eyes weep, l have been taping my eyes shut with paper tape ever since.
How is that working for you???
I have hypothyroidism and graves disease this is worst I would never wish this even to my enemy. my eye gets super dry my orbital area gets inflammed and when I blink i feel like something is in my eye foreign body sensation went to so many drs but nobody helps specially this year Im facing alot just pray for me that I heal soon
Thank you Doctor for the video ❤️🌷
I have a question: Is it possible to have PVD because of thyroid eye diseases?
Hi Doctor, love your informative videos. I have been struggling with severe dry eyes and I also have hypothyroidism however couldnt find a good doctor who can do all the screening.
Can you please recommend a doctor or healthcare provider who can do all the necessary screeing in dallas fort worth area?

Hi colleague...
I had a Px with Graves.
A year ago he achieved fusion with 9-BD LE, 4-BO RE (I splited those prisms).
Last month he achieved fusion with 17-BD LE, 9-BO RE (first time progressive glasses)
He followed-up by different MD's and other Optometrists in my country, but last year was the first time he saw one picture again.
And yes, I have double vision. Sometimes I have to squeak my eyes a little bit to be able to seek
Hi! watching in the Philippines time check 8:15 in the evening 😍

Thanks! for sharing your knowledge Doc...I'm always watching your vlog.
I’ve been waiting for this video because I suffer from TED. Thank u. I have seen that some foods can help with this disease. Do u agree? If so plz make a Part 2 on TED. Great info! I’ve asked and u delivered.
Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism.
Ingchr6 what foods have you found to be helpful? I don't want to be on a lot of medication. If there are natural remedies out there, I'd like to try them.
My optalmoligist told me to take selenium or 2 brazil nuts a day . No smooking and food low in iodine like no egg.
great video thanks for this . keep it up

Hello friend have you tried herbal remedy? I got from Dr iyaremoses on TH-cam channel, and am free from hypothyroidism.
I have low thyroid, and I've been told I also have Ocular Rosacea. I take thyroid med and doxcycline for the rosacea, along with eye drops for dry eye and warm compresses with a washcloth. Is that enough to do? I will also be getting thyroid up to date lab work done soon.
I have every problem you have described. Over the years I was sent to eye specialist to watch if my one eye got any bigger. I am very conscious of my left eye protruding more than my right. I have also now been told I have wet macular degeneration which I believe there is no treatment. My mum had it and lost her central vision in her 80's. Could this problem be as a result of my massive thyroid problem years ago. I was hypo then hyper. I was given iodine 125 which destroyed the thyroid and it has been 30 years and I am still having to have blood tests every couple of months and my dose of thyroxine constantly being changed. It really is a pain. Could any of these problems been alleviated by treatment?
What is reasons of drainage angle blocked in open angle glaucoma???
I take a pill for hypothyroidism. What type of eye doctor do you recommend seeing for the most thorough checkups? I usually just go to the cheap lenses places, and I know they probably have junior level doctors.
My eye doctor determined I have 2 mm proptosis in my left eye, my thyroid levels are low normal range. My doctor said no need for further evaluation. Do you think an orbital mri should be ordered?
Can you have TED if you have had thyroid radiated and it has very little function?
I was diagnosed with grave disease my eyes are bulge and i am on medication but each time I do the blood test they say my THC is very low can you tell me what to eat.or not
Yes, I have hypothyroid but I've never been tested for the thyroid Eye diseased My Doctor said I have dry eyes
I started the meds for graves 2 weeks ago, and I think one of my eyes, maybe both, have TED. One eye looks larger than it used to be, with no symptoms, the other with a much lower lid, especially when I’m tired and is red when I wake up. Guess I need to see an ophthalmologist. Update: the eye that looks larger, now looks swollen above the eye lid, almost closing off my tear duct.
I just happened onto your channel, and I wanted to check it out.
I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine. I'm experiencing diplopia and exophthalmosis in my left eye. I have sharp pain in that eye, and I wear glasses with a prism lens. ( I also have a macular pucker in that eye)
My eye doctor, a specialist, said, "I'm not convinced this is thyroid eye disease." But never said what it may be. I'm being monitored, but no one is saying much. Can you shed any light on this?
Or anyone reading these posts?
Hi doctor. I've been following you for sometime and your content has helped me a lot.
But I have a problem and I don't seem to be able to find the answer anywhere on the internet:
My vision is flickering like a PC monitor refresh rate. It's clearly noticable when I look at the sky or the moonlight or even my textbooks. I haven't been able to read a thing for my university exams. I've searched everywhere about it, but I couldn't find anything. I'm ready scared.
Hey Javad. Thanks for the question. I wish I could offer more help but flickering such as you describe sounds like it could either be a retinal or neurological thing. The best thing would be to see a local eye doctor and if the eyes are healthy, perhaps they can refer you to a neurologist if needed. Do you also experience migraines headaches? I wish you the best on your exams.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you for your response. When I try to read, yes, I get a headache, but normally, no, I don't. What I've been struggling with is mostly reading a book. I don't even have a problems while reading on my phone or on my laptop. It's not that the flickering is really obvious in my daily life, it's just becomes more visible when I want to read. Or to be more specific, when I try to focus on something. My university has been online for the past 2 years, I've been using my laptop constantly, and my sleeping schedule in the past 3 years hasn't been that good either. I've been indoors for the most part of the past 2 years, and haven't been geting enough daylight, even though I basically live in a desert. I've kinda been a night owl, reading, writing and using my laptop (a lot!) trough the night for the past 3 years. The lighting in my room is relatively ok. I use florescent lights.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I should also mention that unless I want to read or focus on a small object, the flicker between light and dark is barely noticeable. Even when I'm reading, I should think a little to find out why I can't read clearly. Its not that the text gets blurry when I try to read.
And also, the darkening is not completely dark, it's kinda gets a bit dimmer for a millisecond, then becomes normal again for another millisecond, and the cycle continues. I barely feel it, unless I focus.

Am suffering from thyroid eyes disease what can i use to cure it I need help please
I had 5cm hurthle cell carcinoma that was pressing against my trachea. I complained of not being able to breathe, a ball in my throat, and not being able to speak for more than 10 minutes before losing my voice. Even when the lump appeared on my neck and I was losing weight at a rapid rate, the doctor questioned my thyroid cancer because the blood tests came back normal.
Good day doctor I was recently diagnosed with thyroid eye disease Right eye I have severe pain on right side of face ear and skull Is that normal for this condition Cheek is also very numb Thank you
Very informative video, thank you. I have TED and Graves
I tried describing my “double vision” to an eye doctor, he asked if I was doing drugs ! 🙄 I have had thyroid problems since my late 20’s

I am on my second Brain Tumor so I had a Brain Tumor removed 10 years via Craniotomy and now I have a new Brain Tumor so when my eye started showing these signs the Doctors were focusing on the Tumor so I’m just trying to get as much information as I can because I also have Epilepsy and the Doctors Focused on the first Brain Tumor and my Wife actually figured out it was Epilepsy but I’m not saying my doctors are bad at their jobs they are great they have literally saved my life it’s just hard to diagnose someone who is in rough shape from head to toe.

What is the treatment of thyroid eyes disease
Hello Dr. I was diagnosed with grave's disease late last year, i am currently on methimazole tab 5mg./day before it was 15mg./day then reduced to 10mg./day Now its 5mg. Only this month i noticed my left upper eye lid is swollen, painful, i also noticed redness and dryness i started doing eye exercises that i watched in youtube and apply eyedrops as well. will this help in slowly progressing TED? I am hoping you could answer my concern, thank you.
I have them all fortunately hh I swear doc.. except for the optic nerve condition
i was fortunate that when i went into my ENT for puffy eyelids she immediately sent me to Endo and said "this could be graves disease, im gonna let Endo drive on this one".. and she was right
Is it necessary to have all the signs before consulting to a doctor? Thanks.
Thanks, great video.
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
I keep telling my optometrist about a severe down drag like double vision in my left eye, and the right eye goes up. I have had thyroid levels checked many times due to weight issues, & I have been told everything is normal. It is absolutely horrific for me to watch TV, or really focus on anything that involves light. I just wonder if this is a possibility for me, even though my levels always show normal...
Is anti glare and anti reflective coating are the same or not! should I apply anti glare and anti reflective coating in both sides or just in inside part for sunglasses! Is dust and water repellent is a coating or natural attributes of polycarbonate lens! Please reply, it will help me a lot

Thank you! 😃
I’m really struggling. My right eye has sunken into the socket with a sunken upper eyelid sulcus within the last 3 months. I also have handfuls of hair loss, missed periods, severe weight loss. I saw ophthalmologist he said I have dry eyes. My primary care said prolactin is high then did more blood work and said everything’s fine. But it’s not. I asked to see ent. Been waiting for 3 weeks to get a ct scan. I feel like no one understands. I see ophthalmologist tomorrow and pray he will order a scan or address the enophthalmos. I wonder if my eye Dr can do blood work or send me to specialists because primary care doesn’t know what he’s doing.
