I have been having problems with my thyroid gland for almost two years now. I have been treating it with prescribed medications that managed to keep my hormone levels under control. But, lately I have noticed that my eyes became sensitive to light, could it be my thyroid? What do you say?

I think that the best thing for you now is to consult your doctor. As far as I know eye problems are signs of Graves disease, where sensitivity to light are easy one. The problem with eyes might be so that eyelid cannot cover the eye which makes eye dry and damages it in that way. Please, consult your doctor, this can get complicated.
