What about a benign tumor on your pituitary? It can cause both hypothyroid problems and various eye problems.
Hypothyroidism and ocular hypertension are NOT related, its coincidential.
Hypothyroidism can sometimes cause loss of the outer 1/2 to 1/3 of the eyebrows. Droopy lids most common cause by far aging changes of the eyelid muscles.

Sorry -- wrong acronym. I meant IOP (intraocular pressure), not IOL.
I can see why Dr. Hagan dislikes acronyms -- so easy to confuse them!
I can't comment on the drooping eyelids, but I do have the same combination of issues as you regarding IOL and thyroid. I've been hypothyroid and on Synthroid for years. My IOL also tends to be a bit high (around 19 in my right eye), although I've been told this results from pigment disperson syndrome. It spiked a bit more (to around 30) after recent cataract surgery, but seems to be coming back down now.
I have not been advised of any connection between my IOL and my hypothyroidism.
