Hyperthyroidism, also known as hyperthyroidism, is caused by the thyroid gland itself producing too much thyroid hormone, which leads to thyrotoxicosis, which can lead to symptoms such as protruding eyes. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include protruding eyes, strabismus or double vision, loss of optic nerve function, keratitis, and other symptoms.
1. Protruding eyeballs: swelling or contracture of the eyelids may occur, resulting in a significant widening of the eyelid fissure and causing proptosis; edema of the bulbar conjunctiva may cause the eyeballs to protrude even more obviously.
2. Strabismus or double vision: Damage to the muscles that innervate the eye can cause abnormal eye movement, especially the possibility of double vision or squinting, which can lead to irreversible loss of optic nerve function.
3. Keratitis: The inability to close the eyes will cause severe protrusion of the eyeballs, causing the cornea to be exposed for a long time, which will easily induce keratitis and even ulcers.
4. Other symptoms: such as photophobia as well as tearing.
Hyperthyroidism protruding eye is harmful, it is recommended that patients must seek treatment in regular hospitals. In the treatment of hyperthyroidism at the same time take into account the treatment of hyperthyroidism synophthalmos.
