Diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, how to make my eyes less bulgy? (Photos)

Question

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last three months and my doctor prescribed an eyedrop for me to make my eyes go back to normal but it seems like it's not working. Is there a home remedy or an advice that i can do to make it less bulgy?

It is important to have more detailed evaluation by an expert to determine but one possible treatment is orbital decompression.

David K. Isaacs, MD, FACS · Answer

As an Orbital/Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon, I typically coordinate care for my Thyroid Eye Disease patients with an Ophthalmologist and Endocrinologist.

You mention being given an eye drop to make your eye less bulgy, but I don't know of eye drop that accomplishes that.

It's important to have a treatment plan, with regular follow-up and access to care to the right doctors, for managing the thyroid disease and thyroid eye disease issues

When it comes to eye issues, there are medical and surgical management options, and what a patient needs depends on their case. There's also a newer nonsurgical management option called Tepezza.

All the best.
