(BPT) - Your eyes can tell you a lot about your health, and this is especially true for those living with thyroid eye disease (TED). TED occurs when the immune system mistakenly targets the tissues around the eyes, leading to symptoms like swelling, bulging and discomfort. During the active phase of TED, when these symptoms are most pronounced, people often experience redness, pain, and inflammation, which can impact daily life.
TED is commonly associated with Graves' disease, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. According to the American Thyroid Association, TED can manifest symptoms such as a gritty sensation in the eyes, light sensitivity, dry eyes, and even double vision. While these symptoms may vary in intensity and can improve over time, some individuals may experience more severe forms that require prescription medication or, in some situations, surgery.
