Is hyperthyroidism surgery done on both eyes?

Eye protrusion due to hyperthyroidism may be in one or both eyes, and eye protrusion surgery varies depending on the individual’s condition, which requires consultation with a specialist. Eye protrusion surgery for patients with hyperthyroidism generally includes orbital decompression surgery, extraocular muscle surgery, and orbital decompression therapy, which can protect and restore vision. Depending on the patient’s condition, one eye surgery or two eye surgeries are usually performed as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to note that if the patient has symptoms of proptosis in both eyes and is physically able to tolerate surgery in both eyes at the same time, it is generally recommended that both eyes be operated on at the same time. This reduces the need for a second surgery and second anesthesia, reduces the cost of the surgery, and reduces the incidence of double vision and double vision after the surgery. It is recommended that patients with hyperthyroidism who need surgery consult a medical professional.
