What is ophthalmopathy?

Ophthalmopathy is an autoimmune condition where the thyroid gland mistakenly senses harmful cells around the eye and releases antibodies to combat them. Symptoms can include inflammation, swelling, and redness around the eye. Treatment is focused on regulating the overactive thyroid.
