Thyroid eye disease may occur in patients who already know they have thyroid disease, or sometimes it's the first problem that brings the person to the doctor's office. The symptoms that occur in thyroid eye disease include dry eyes, watery eyes, red eyes, bulging eyes, a "stare," double vision, difficulty closing the eyes, and problems with vision.
