If it is Graves Disease then the endocrinologist is likely to refer to a opthamolgist and specialist optician services. In my experience the symptoms were quite impactive on all tasks that require concentrated periods of reading whether a computer or paperwork and are of course also impactive on home life with television, leisure reading and driving becoming a problem the driving particularly at night. Surgical interventions and prisms in glasses as well as better control of the thyroid levels can assist if clinically indicated and unfortunately the only solutions at work that we looked at was frequent breaks from reading tasks, varied work and altered hours to avoid driving in the dark (reduced hours in the winter). I did not try Access to Work as they had specific roles that meant ill health retirement was relevant. http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/Thyroid-Eye-Disease.htm this may help Regards Kate From: mandpdawson <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, 10 December 2012, 9:52 Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Thyroid and vision problems Good morning all I am going to see a lady who has developed vision problems associated with ? overactive Thyroid (the referral is non specific), this is causing serious problems using a PC.
