English term or phrase: Thyroid eye disease

Thyroid eye disease causes the muscles and soft tissues within the eye socket to swell. This pushes the eyeball forward and causes various eye symptoms. Treatment involves steps to protect the eye as the disease runs its course. This may involve artificial tears, medicines and, in some cases, surgery. Thyroid eye disease is usually associated with an abnormality of thyroid gland function.
