Exophthalmos is a condition associated with Graves disease, caused by hyperthyroidism. Treatment for this condition may stabilize the symptoms but does not reverse them. Hashimoto thyroiditis is condition of hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. Women with this condition may have problems with fertility.
