What Causes Losing Vision With Grave's Disease?
I was radiated for Grave's Disease and am starting my medication of 250 mcg a day after being off it for about four months. Since Grave's Disease is an autoimmune disease and I no longer have a thyroid, why am I losing my vision, do I still make antibodies that attack my eyes?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with graves disease.
The common causes for visual impairment in graves disease are exposure keratopathy,optic neuropathy, exposure keratopathy...
It is common to graves disease to involve the eyes.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
