Thyroid gland condition

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query

Graves disease is a condition related to Thyroid gland. Immune dysfunction, where in our own immunity attacks the thyroid gland and results in over production of thyroid hormone.

Though there is bulging of eyes secondary to increased thyroid hormone production but its not a condition of eye alone.

Hope, I answered your query

Wish you good health
