“If you have Graves’ disease and eye symptoms, it could be Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)
Up to 50% of people with Graves’ disease will develop a different condition called TED that requires different treatment
TED is a potentially vision-threatening condition that can get worse over time. It is recommended to get treatment for TED as early as possible to prevent serious damage.
TED is a rare condition, and not all doctors are used to treating it.
Make sure you see a doctor who is.
Could it be Thyroid Eye Disease?
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is an autoimmune disorder. That means your immune system mistakenly attacks the muscle and fat tissue behind your eyes. This causes inflammation (redness and swelling) and scar tissue to form.
Thyroid Eye Disease vs. Graves’ disease
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and Graves’ disease are both autoimmune disorders. While TED often develops in people who have Graves’ disease, they are different conditions. That’s why they require different doctors and different treatments. Graves’ disease affects the thyroid. TED affects the muscle and fat behind the eyes.”
