Eye symptoms of thyroid disorder takes time to develop and is more of the
eyeball being pushed by the inflamed muscles. An eye irritation that
develops within days and a tendency to migrate to the other could be a sign
of allergy or infection. a similar condition exists if you happen to have
clogged tear ducts, but that would cause a watery eye or a sign of
infection. Eye symptoms related to thyroid, and apart from the
ophthalmopathy of Graves disease, is more of sensitivity to light.
