FAQs
Lid Conditions and Thyroid Eye Disease
Common eyelid conditions include:
- Ptosis (Drooping Eyelid): This occurs when the upper eyelid droops over the eye, which may affect vision. Treatment often involves surgery to lift the eyelid.
- Entropion (Inward Turning Eyelid): This condition causes the eyelid to turn inward, causing the lashes to rub against the eye. Treatment may involve lubricating eye drops or surgery.
- Ectropion (Outward Turning Eyelid): The opposite of entropion, ectropion causes the eyelid to turn outward, leading to dryness and irritation. Surgical correction may be required.
Ptosis can be caused by aging, injury, or weakening of the muscles that raise the eyelid. It can also be present at birth (congenital ptosis). Treatment typically involves surgery to tighten the muscles and improve the appearance and function of the eyelid.
Thyroid eye disease (also known as Graves’ orbitopathy) is an autoimmune condition associated with thyroid disorders, particularly hyperthyroidism. It can cause the tissues around the eyes to become inflamed. Common symptoms include:
- Bulging eyes (proptosis)
- Double vision
- Redness and swelling around the eyes
- Dryness, irritation, or excessive tearing
- Difficulty closing the eyes completely
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult an eye care provider for evaluation and management.
The frequency of follow-up visits depends on the severity of your thyroid eye disease. In the active phase of the disease, patients may need to see an ophthalmologist every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor the progression and adjust treatment if necessary. Once the disease stabilizes, visits may be reduced to every 6 months or annually, depending on your condition and your doctor’s recommendations.
Treatment for thyroid eye disease varies based on the severity of the symptoms and may include:
- Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, including steroids, may help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Lubricating Eye Drops: These can help alleviate dryness and irritation.
- Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be needed to correct double vision, reduce bulging, or address other structural issues.
During your evaluation, the doctor will:
- Perform a comprehensive eye exam to assess the health of your eyes and eyelids
- Check your vision and eye movements
- Evaluate the alignment and position of your eyes and eyelids
- Discuss any symptoms you are experiencing and recommend a treatment plan
While it’s important to follow your doctor’s treatment plan, some home care tips include:
- Using lubricating eye drops to relieve dryness and irritation
- Wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and bright light
- Elevating your head while sleeping to reduce swelling around the eyes
- Quitting smoking, as it can worsen the symptoms of thyroid eye disease
Yes, thyroid eye disease can sometimes recur, especially if your thyroid levels become unbalanced again. Regular monitoring and managing your thyroid condition with your healthcare provider are crucial in preventing recurrence.
