  Oh, I am so sorry to hear that because it is one of the most complicated diseases that we might suffer, and it would simply make your eyes swollen or bulging, which is quite ugly. So, once got graves disease, you should try to get professional treatment in the hospital on time. Also, try to rest your eyes and avoid exposing to sunshine, try to get sunglasses, and you should have a balanced diet. In addition, you should get eye exams on a regular basis to know your eye health conditions.
