Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hi Sue, No, I haven't had any rash around the eyes and both eyes feel about the same. One eye is more blood shot and the double vision is from loss of muscle control in the right eye. This started when I was having bad headaches while hypo after RAI. I've had a few of the migraine episodes with halo vision, but not many and I have no idea what the trigger has been. That may be something unrelated to Graves. My eyes have been improving since I started having chelation treatments for mercury. They're not back to normal yet, but I hope the improvement continues.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hi Clair, My first symptoms were burning, excessive tearing and a feeling like grit in the eyes. Double vision started 6 months later. [s E L Paolini] Did you get a rash around your eye? I always have & migraines to go with it. The grit can be very annoying as it the burning. My opthamalogist recommended putting eye drops in and using eye lubricant over nite. Also, did you get it in both eyes? I never gotten in both eyes simultaneously, though it does seem to move around.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Thanks for the info. It is not obvious in pictures. DH and I just took a ton of pics while on vacation and I already analyzed them. I think I'm being a freak. I stare at everyone's eyes now to see if their's are slightly off, too... LOL. Thanks again.
