Results for tag: "Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment"

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the eyes and surrounding tissues. It is caused by an overactive thyroid gland, which produces antibodies that attack the muscles and fatty tissues around the eyes. Symptoms of TED include bulging eyes, double vision, and dry eyes. Treatment for TED typically involves a combination of medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes. Medications used to treat TED include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antithyroid drugs. Surgery may be used to correct double vision, reduce the bulging of the eyes, and improve the appearance of the eyes. Lifestyle changes such as avoiding smoking, reducing stress, and eating a healthy diet can also help manage the symptoms of TED. Companies in the Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment market include Allergan, Novartis, Pfizer, and Regeneron. Show Less Read more
