This could only happen if a person who is untreated gets thyroid eye disease causing exopthalamus (bulging eyes) to the point where the eyes bulge so much that the person cannot close them. With damage blindness may occur, but it is very unlikely that such a dire circumstance would arise before the person realizes they need to seek medical treatment.

You are so WRONG. The optic nerve can become compressed and totally blind one or both eyes if it is not diagnosed in time and emergent decompression surgery is not done.

For Graves' patients with thyroid eye disease, the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center says that treatment typically occurs in two phases, and includes careful monitoring of thyroid eye disease during what they call the active phase of the condition. This includes preserving sight and the cornea as well as treatment for double vision. They say that the remission, or second phase, includes treatment of permanent changes and may require surgery.
