Hello,
It seems from the history that you have Gave's disease and now you have got thyroid ophthalmopathy.
Thyroid ophthalmopathy needs evaluation and treatment. In the initial stages of the disease the treatment is by medical line of treatment. In the later stages when the disease causes visual problems it needs more aggressive treatment.
Please do consult your doctor and discuss with him regarding further treatment.
Thank you
