How can Hypothyroidism affect my vision?

Here's the scenario: I'm 26 years old, female, no children, and I've had hypothyroidism related to pernicious anemia for about 5 1/2 years. I decided to do some research- just out of curiosity- and I've had trouble finding documentation of how hypothyroidism affects vision. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Mainly with dry eyes...which can make it difficult to focus and possibly lead to scratched/ulcerated corneas.
