| My mother has been diagnosed with Graves's disease a month ago. Now, she is under antithyroid therapy and things are looking a bit better. Still, she complains of the eye problems, it seems that eyelid cannot be fully closed so her eye is getting dry. What can we do to help her? Will cool compresses help with eye problems in Grave's? |

| Perhaps her eye problems were not that intensified when she went to a doctor, so she did not mention that to him. Being unable to close the eye is one of the major symptoms of Grave's disease. Cool compresses actually can help, because they will moisturize the eye all the time. This should be applied during night, also. But in spite of the fact that cool compresses will help, a visit to a doctor is necessary. |
