Hello,
Good day.
Thyronorm is a safe drug and it is thyroid hormone. It is absolutely safe to take it for many years and please do not stop it. You may require it life long. Monitor your TSH once in 6 months and if that is normal. not to worry.
Eye problems seems to be unrelated to thyroid issues

Binu
