I am hypothyroid and have never heard of eyeballs sinking back into your skull which would be the opposite of hyperthyroidism (Graves), where your eyeballs start to bulge out of your skull. When one gets hypothyroid they may exhibit symptoms fo puffy face and puffy eyes (almost puffy everything) due to the accumulation of mucin, debris, fat, etc. That's because hypos can't elimate decomposed cells that are typically eliminated by way of the skin, the lungs, the intestine, and, more particularly the kidneys, from which it is excreted in the form of water and urea.
Before I was treated, I had the puffiest eyes where it looked like I really needed a blepharoplasty. The rest of my face was puffy too where I looked almost unrecognizable. Hypo can make you look older! Everything slows down.
Here's a link to pics of hypo patients:
