Treatment begins with
Coordinated Assessment
Thyroid Hormone Optimization
Eye-Directed Treatment
Ongoing Joint Follow-up
This treatment is recommended for confirmed thyroid eye disease.
You may need this if...
These signs may indicate that this treatment is the recommended course of care:
- Eye bulging, irritation or dryness with known thyroid disease
- Double vision or discomfort with eye movement
- Active, worsening eye symptoms needing anti-inflammatory treatment
- Need for coordinated endocrine and eye specialist care
An endocrinologist's evaluation confirms whether this treatment is the right option for you.
What Does This Treatment Involve?
Treatment starts with optimising thyroid hormone levels, alongside lubricating eye care and, for more active disease, anti-inflammatory or other targeted eye treatment.
Endocrinology and ophthalmology work together to manage both the thyroid condition and its effects on the eyes.
When This Treatment is Considered
This treatment is recommended for confirmed thyroid eye disease.
- Eye bulging, irritation or dryness with known thyroid disease
- Double vision or discomfort with eye movement
- Active, worsening eye symptoms needing anti-inflammatory treatment
- Need for coordinated endocrine and eye specialist care
The Care Pathway
1. Coordinated Assessment
Endocrinology and ophthalmology jointly evaluate thyroid function and eye involvement.
2. Thyroid Hormone Optimization
Thyroid levels are brought into a stable, normal range.
3. Eye-Directed Treatment
Lubricating drops, smoking cessation support, and anti-inflammatory treatment address active eye symptoms.
4. Ongoing Joint Follow-up
Regular review tracks both thyroid control and eye disease activity.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
Coordinated care meaningfully improves comfort and controls disease activity for most people with thyroid eye disease.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your endocrinologist will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Improvement in eye symptoms is often gradual, alongside thyroid hormone stabilisation over weeks to months.
Your endocrinologist and eye specialist will jointly monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Careful follow-up and guidance on diet and lifestyle all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
