â€Â˘Protrusion of one or both eyeballs.

â€Â˘Puffy, swollen eyelids.

â€Â˘Gritty, burning, irritated eyes that frequently water.

â€Â˘Diplopia (double vision).

â€Â˘Decreased vision, often following reduced brightness of colors.

â€Â˘Redness and swelling of the conjunctiva, the thin layer covering the white part of the eye.

â€Â˘Difficulty in completely closing the eyelids, especially while sleeping.

â€Â˘The most common eye sign in Graves’ disease is proptosis, in which the eyes appear to bulge outward. This finding is present in 70 – 90% of cases of thyroid eye disease. The swelling that causes proptosis is due to collections of fluid, fat, and inflammatory cells.

Your interview is conducted not just by one or two people, but by an intimidating group of 4 or 5 glowering, power-suit-clad men & women, in a huge board room.  Donald Trump begins to come to mind.  ("You're NOT hired!")
