It's more than just bulging eyes. ποΈ This week is Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) Awareness Week (Nov 11-17).
TED is a serious, progressive, and vision-threatening autoimmune disease that is often misunderstood. It's connected to thyroid conditions like Graves' Disease, but it's a distinct condition that needs its own care.
Know the signs beyond a thyroid issue:
- Bulging or protruding eyes
- A dry, gritty, "sandy" feeling
- Pain, pressure, or redness
- Puffy or retracted eyelids
- Double vision or light sensitivity
If you or someone you know has a thyroid condition and is experiencing these symptoms, it's crucial to see an oculoplastic specialist or neuro-ophthalmologist promptly. Early diagnosis can help protect your vision and quality of life.
