Hi Kiersten,
Kelly and Kimberly said everything I was going to say.
In the meantime, eye ointment and non preservative eye drops should be your friends. Use them often, to take care of your dry and scratchy eyes. Unfortunately, with thyroid eye disease (TED) our tear consistency changes, and it is not as lubricating as our bodies have been providing us before having TED. So we have to augment it with drops and ointments to protect our corneas, and for comfort.
Welcome to the boards, glad you found us.
