Eye pain, pressure, double vision, or bulging eyes may signal Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), a serious autoimmune condition often linked to thyroid problems.

Sudden contact lens discomfort is often caused by changes in the ocular surface rather than the lenses themselves. Learn how dry eye, eyelid exposure, and thyroid eye disease contribute to irritation and reduced lens tolerance.

Subtle eye changes like puffy eyelids, dry eyes, or a slightly altered gaze may be early warning signs of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). Often overlooked or mistaken for fatigue or allergies, these quiet symptoms can signal an autoimmune condition that affects the tissues around the eyes. Early detection and timely care are essential to prevent progression and protect long-term vision.

If you have Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), you may notice more irritation, swelling, or dryness during cold or flu season. TED is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks tissues around the eyes, causing inflammation, bulging, and surface symptoms like dryness or grittiness. Even after the active phase of TED seems over, flares can happen. Viral infections trigger immune responses that can inflame the ocular surface, destabilize your tear film, and worsen dryness

Morning eye swelling can be caused by common allergies or a more serious condition called thyroid eye disease (TED). While allergies often improve during the day, TED may persist and affect vision. Learn the differences, warning signs, and steps for early detection.

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is often recognized by the classic “stare,” but it’s far more than a cosmetic concern. TED is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks tissues around the eyes, causing swelling, irritation, and sometimes double vision. In severe cases, it can even threaten sight. For patients, the impact goes well beyond appearance—affecting comfort, vision, and quality of life every day.
