Betty Davis Eyes… (Part I)
TED (thyroid eye disease) affects approximately 50% of people with Graves' Disease, but did you know it can also affect those with Hashimotos thyroiditis. The same antibodies in autoimmune thyroid disease that attack the thyroid can also attack the tissues around the eyes causing symptoms from redness and irritation to bulging and disfigurement.
