Tear test could spot eye disease risk in thyroid patients

This research study aims to create a simple, non-invasive test using tears and blood to predict which patients with hyperthyroidism are at risk of developing Graves' Orbitopathy (eye disease). Researchers will analyze samples from 90 participants, including healthy controls and those with thyroid or eye conditions. The goal is to find biomarkers that allow for earlier, personalized care to prevent or reduce the severity of eye problems.
