Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves’ Disease) Defined

When the body overproduces thyroid hormone, this condition is an immune system disorder known as hyperthyroidism. Graves’ Disease is an immune system disorder resulting in the overproduction of thyroid hormones, also known as hyperthyroidism.

Thyroid eye disease is an ocular condition resulting from Graves’ disease. Antibodies work against receptors within thyroid cells and the cells behind the eyes. When symptoms of thyroid eye disease hinder eyesight, professional medical care is necessary.

Thyroid Eye Disease Symptoms

Tepezza is the first nonsurgical treatment for thyroid eye disease – a condition that is completely different from the severity of hyperthyroidism.

This injectable drug alleviates:

  • Inflammation and redness
  • Double vision
  • Eye bulging
  • Eyelid swelling
  • Dry eye
  • Excessive tearing
  • Grittiness sensation and overall eye irritation

How Tepezza Works

Tepezza works as an insulin-like growth factor receptor inhibitor. This latest prescription medication targets inflammation, swelling, and bulging caused by thyroid eye disease. People suffering from thyroid eye disease want to alleviate their symptoms and improve their eye appearance. This is possible with prescription Tepezza.

Home Remedies to Supplement Prescription Tepezza

There are many easy home remedies to help reduce the symptoms of thyroid eye disease.

These include:

  • A cool compress to reduce eye inflammation
  • Using lubricating eye drops to soothe dry eye irritation
  • Wearing sunglasses to reduce photosensitivity to sunlight
  • Steroid medications to reduce eye swelling

In more serious cases of thyroid eye disease:
