Graves’ eye disease happens when swelling around the eyes makes them bulge out. It's caused by Graves’ disease, and it's also called GED, Graves’ ophthalmopathy, or thyroid eye disease(TED).

CONT

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder in which hyperthyroidism results in various systematic symptoms, with about 30% of patients presenting with Graves’ eye disease(GED). The majority of patients with GED develop mild symptoms, including eyelid retraction, exposure of the globe, superior rectus–levator muscle complex inflammation, and fat expansion, leading to exophthalmos. More severe cases can result in extraocular muscle enlargement, restricted ocular movement, eyelid and conjunctival edema, and compression of the optic nerve leading to compressive optic neuropathy(CON).
