Grave’s disease is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormone. The condition, which is also known as hyperthyroidism, may be the result of a number of factors. However, Grave’s disease is the most common cause.

In Grave’s disease, abnormal antibodies attach the thyroid gland, causing it to become overactive. Those same antibodies may also affect the eyes by causing swelling and inflammation of the soft tissues around the eyes and the muscles that control the eyes and eyelids. This is known as thyroid eye disease and it is a frequent side effect of Grave’s disease. Prominent, sometimes bulging eyes are a trademark of this disease.

What is Eyelid Retraction?

A common side effect of thyroid eye disease, eyelid retraction occurs when the eyelid is pulled away from the eyeball. On the upper eyelid this involves the eyelid moving too far up, while on the lower eyelid it pulls too far down. In addition to thyroid eye disease, eyelid retraction can also be caused by previous eyelid surgery or trauma.

Eyelid retraction surgery adjusts the position of the eyelid. It can be performed on the top or bottom lid and can help improve eyelid closure and restore eyelid function.
