Eyes and Thyroid

I am Hypethyroid but due to over medication was Hyper for about a year during this time was on Thyroxin 100mcg and Armour Thyroid 125mcg.  Medication was adjusted to 50 Thyroxin and 40 Armour after a liver reading.

Recently been put onto 50mcg Thyroxin and 20mcg of Cytomel.

My energy levels are much better but still find from time to time that I have a sore throat and notice that my eyes feels dry, gritty and itchy - my righ eye is red on the lower eyelid.  I was given Tarvid to use three times a day.

Is this condition related to Thyroid problems?

Many thanks for any response.

Why are you on thyroid meds if you are HYPER?
Surely you mean HYPO?

Sorry ...a bit confused here.
Post your levels so others can reply to your posting.

And yes..eye issues can be TED so I advise you see an Opthamologist to rule out TED (thyroid eye disease).
