Thyroid eye disease generally stems from Graves' hyperthyroidism and is also known as Graves' eye disease or ophthalmopathy.
It is an autoimmune disorder, caused by the reaction of antibodies and a certain type of white blood cells called lymphocytes.
The symptoms are inflammation of the eye tissues turning eyes painful, red and watery.
The eyeballs seem bulging out of their sockets.

Vision gets affected too!
There are no laboratory tests available yet to diagnose thyroid eye disease as such beyond doubts.
There is no satisfactory treatment available yet, too!
The only way left is to treat hyperthyroidism, that is the root cause of thyroid eye disease.

But in emergencies, when the pressure on the eyeballs has increased too much, steroids or immunosuppressive drugs are administered to prevent optic nerve swelling and blindness.
Even if this doesn't seem to work, a part of the eye tissue is removed either surgically or through X-rays in order to reduce the pressure on the eyeball and the surrounding orbital tissues and prevent permanent optic nerve damage or glaucoma.
But what is it that causes hyperthyroidism in the human body system in the first place?

Or any hormonal imbalance, for that matter?!
Aren't we doing something that disturbs all our hormonal secretions in an unnatural way?

We are keeping our bodies in an unnatural posture!
That is what keeps its pressure mounted on the inner organs of the body and doesn't let them do their function properly.
Opening the third eye simply undoes what we have done wrong to our bodies at the level of the specific human body posture!
The organs start functioning properly not only again but immediately as well!
Vision therapy does exactly the same to the body anatomically, by training it for opening the third eye and thus correcting the whole physiology of the human system that has, at more than one places and in more than one ways, gone wrong causing all kinds of biological troubles to the human body, thyroid eye disease being only one of them.
