- Swelling of the eyelids and the tissues surrounding the eyes.
- Dry eyes and foreign body sensation.
- Light sensitivity.
- Red, watery eyes.
- Double vision.
- Blindness.
- Feelings of pressure in the eye sockets
Not all patients experience all symptoms, and some of these symptoms may indicate other conditions. An eye exam is the best way to determine if symptoms you’re experiencing are caused by Graves’ disease or another condition.
