Yes it is possible to have Graves disease and have symptoms of eye disease eithout thyroid symptoms. Sometimes the eye symptoms come or worsen after RAI treatment or after the thyroid has been removed.I only know of this happening with Graves but someone more knowledgeable about underactive thyroid will hopefully reply with info about that, My eye symptoms , thankfully mild appeared about 3 years before my thyroid symptoms and diagnosis.
