What Causes Less Opening Of One Eye As Compared To Other?
I have anoveractive thyroid and 8 weeks ago I took the radiation pill to kill the thyroid or part of it. I have just noticed in the past month the my right eye lid seems to be lazy. It is not open as wide as it use to be or as the right one is. Does this have anyhing to do withmy thyroid conditon or any suggestions?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having less opening of one eye, this condition is called as ptosis.
In hyperthyroid condition exactly opposite condition is seen where the eyes appear prominent with wide opening of eyelids called as lid retraction.
Hence you need to consult your ophthalmologist for examination to look for it and diagnose accordingly.
Thank you
