Suffering from Thyroid eye disease? To know more about it book an appointment with us today Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), also known as Graves' Ophthalmopathy, is an autoimmune condition often linked to Grave's disease, where the immune system attacks tissues around the eyes. Common symptoms include bulging or protruding eyes (proptosis), dry or gritty eyes, redness, swelling, light sensitivity, and double vision. In severe cases, it can lead to vision loss if untreated. The condition progresses in two phases: the "active" phase, where inflammation and symptoms worsen, and the "inactive" phase, where inflammation subsides but long-term changes may remain. Treatments include lubricating eye drops, steroids to reduce inflammation, and surgery to correct eye positioning or decompress the orbit in severe cases. Radiation therapy may also be considered.
