Exophthalmic conditions - what does this mean
Exophthalmic conditions are a group of disorders that cause the eyes to protrude outward from the face, commonly due to an overactive thyroid gland. this can cause the eyes to become swollen and bulge out, and can also lead to double vision, dry eyes, and other vision problems.
What happens during the disease - exophthalmic conditions
Exophthalmic conditions are caused by an overactive thyroid gland, which leads to an increased production of hormones such as triiodothyronine and thyroxine. this leads to an increase in metabolism, which can cause the eyes to bulge out from their sockets due to increased pressure in the orbits. additionally, the increased metabolism can cause the eyelids to become dry and irritated, leading to further inflammation and discomfort.
