Listen to Your Eyes

Listen to Your Eyes is a community provided by Amgen for people with a thyroid condition, like Graves' disease, who may be at risk for developing Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).

Listen to Your Eyes is a place where you can come to learn about TED and be inspired by others navigating their own TED journeys as patients and caregivers. This page is intended for U.S. residents only.
 
WHAT IS TED?
TED is a progressive autoimmune disease. While TED may occur in up to 40% of people with Graves' disease, it is a separate condition requiring separate treatment. Common symptoms include bulging or protruding eyes; double vision; blurred vision; light sensitivity; dry eyes; excessive tearing; swelling of the eyelids; and redness, irritation or grittiness. Without proper treatment, in rare and extreme cases TED can lead to permanent vision loss.
