My Left Eye is Bulging?

December 5, 2012
Asked By:Tracy Granger in Granger, Indiana

My left eye is bulging more than the right so my ophthalmologist sent me to a specialist about possible graves disease. The dr looked at my eyes said both were some what bulging one was 24 and the other 22 whatever that means but because my thyroid came back normal he said we just wait, and that eventually my thyroid will come back with problems and we will treat at that time? In the mean time my eyes really hurt and can't something be done even though the thyroid test came back fine.
