Graves’ disease doesn’t just affect your thyroid—it can have a profound impact on your eye health. In this video, Dr. David Kostick of Florida Eye Specialists explains the signs and symptoms of Graves’ disease and how it leads to a condition called thyroid eye disease or Graves’ orbitopathy.
Dr. Kostick outlines how this autoimmune disorder causes inflammation, bulging eyes, double vision, and discomfort. He also discusses medical and surgical treatment options available to patients with Graves’ disease, including orbital decompression and eyelid surgery, offered by skilled oculoplastic surgeons.
Early diagnosis and management are essential to avoid long-term complications and to preserve both vision and quality of life. If you suspect thyroid-related eye changes, Florida Eye Specialists provides comprehensive care for Graves’ disease in Jacksonville.
