TED: Current Treatments, Current Challenges

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a relatively rare disease that is challenging to diagnose and has limited treatment options. TED may be overlooked by clinicians due to the wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from dry eye disease to diplopia, proptosis, eyelid retraction, and sight-threatening optic neuropathy. Although TED is often associated with thyroid disorders such as Graves’ disease, cases without typical clinical signs or hyperthyroidism are particularly difficult to identify. Additionally, TED is associated with a significant disease burden for patients due to its debilitating symptoms, disfiguring nature, and the inconvenience and adverse effects associated with available treatments. Tune in to this educational series where expert faculty provide multidisciplinary perspectives on best practices for the diagnosis and treatment of TED.
