She now having thyroid eye disease, eye popping, double vision and blurry vision. can you consult on what we should do or check regarding on the eye. she now using optive fusion eye drop to reduce her eye dryness.

Answer:

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's recent eye conditions. Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a condition that affects the muscle and tissues around the eyes. It is especially important to seek for eye check up if your mother experience any of the following symptoms:

Eye redness or swelling
Difficulty to close the eye fully
Sensitivity to light
Persistent blurred or double vision
Pain or pressure behind the eye

Treatment options for TED depend on the activity and stage of the disease which includes extensive eye lubrications and prism glasses. In some cases, additional treatments such as steroids or surgery may be needed to manage severe cases of TED.

Early intervention can help manage the symptoms effectively and prevent further complications.
