After a thyroidectomy my TSI is 6.0, Will my Graves eye symptoms worsen?

I had a thyroid storm in October 2016. It affected my eyes and heart rate, with palpitations, heat intolerance, being hot all the time. I was treated with methimazole and propranolol. I was advised by the eye specialist to have a thyroidectomy ASAP which I did mid December,but just checked my labs and found the TSI to be really high. What happens now? Do my eyes continue to get worse? Can it be helped? Do I go blind?

If you just had your thyroidectomy in December, it may take a while for the antibody count to come down.  

You should go back to see your doctor and your opthamologist.
