The thyroid autoimmune condition Graves' Disease can affect the eyes. Some thyroid patients diagnosed with Graves' may develop a condition known as Graves' thyroid eye disease. As the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center describes, "The eyes are particularly vulnerable to Graves' eye disease, because the autoimmune attack often targets the eye muscles and connective tissue within the eye socket. This occurs because these tissues contain proteins that appear similar to the immune system as those of the thyroid gland."
