  In some cases, it is possible that people with thyroid disorders may have a higher likelihood of getting high eye pressure and developing the eye disease of glaucoma. The thyroid is responsible for making hormones that are necessary for every cell in the body to function. The growth and rate of chemical reactions is also partly regulated by hormones that originate in the thyroid. In fact, the eye disease is leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. There are some links between high eye pressure and thyroid. For example, hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid, can help to increase chemical deposits in the group of vessels that bring blood to and from the eye. This can lead to an increase in pressure within the eyeball, which is a main symptom of glaucoma. To avoid this condition, you should go to the doctor's for an overall examination so as to seek correct medications or surgery, if necessary.

Too much thyroid hormone causes hyperthyroidism. While insufficient contributes to hypothyroidism. Hypertension usually refers to high eye pressure, which should not be considered a disease by itself. An imbalance in the production and drainage of fluid in the eye can cause high pressure in eye.
