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). 10, record 1, English, - thyroid%20eye%20disease
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 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). 11, record 1, English, - thyroid%20eye%20disease

The limit for skin is set by reference to deterministic (formerly known as non-stochastic) effects. These are effects such as reddening or ulceration of the skin which vary in intensity in proportion to the dose, and also have a threshold dose below which no effects appear.
