Hello – When you say you are “low”, do you mean the low end of the “normal” range…or actually below normal? And is it your TSH is low? Or your thyroid hormone is low?
The reason I ask is that there is a theory that going hypO after treatment could potentially make the eye issues worse. In fact, one study suggested that the reason for the link between RAI and eye issues *may* be that the patients are allowed to go too hypO before beginning a replacement regimen.
Hopefully, you have a relationship with a good ophthalmologist who can advise you further on this issue.
