What Causes Bulging Eyes Post Total Thyroidectomy?

I received a total thyroidectomy in July and still suffer from bulging eyes, although they are much better than they were, my eyes are still swollen and look as if I m staring all the time. I take Calcium and a Thyroid Hormone daily. How long will it take for my eyes to return to normal? I look terrible.

Hello There

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that hyperthyroidism causes bulging of eyes and after taking treatment bulging can reduce but doesn’t go completely.

Hopefully this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
