    I had cateract surgery when I was 25(!) and no one warned me that there was a risk of dry eye. It wouldn't have changed my decision to have the surgery, but it meant that I didn't know why even after the healing process was expected to be complete, it still seemed like my vision and eyes were worse.

    Hi Christine. I'm so sorry you're in such pain. I can't comment specifically about your case, but in general, people with thyroid eye disease have dry eyes, strabismus and thyroid ophthalmopathy. See a dry eye specialist for help (I know how challenging that can be!). Good luck
