Thyroid eye disease (TED), also called Graves’ ophthalmopathy or Graves’ orbitopathy, is an autoimmune disease of the tissues around the eyes. It can cause dryness, pain, puffy lids, eyelid retraction, bulging eyes and double vision. Most cases are mild, but severe corneal exposure or optic-nerve compression can threaten sight.
Book Initial TED Eye AssessmentNew vision loss, reduced color vision, missing areas of visual field, severe corneal exposure or inability to close the eyelids needs urgent ophthalmic assessment.
The U.S. FDA approved LUMVOA (veligrotug-vvze) on 26 June 2026 for TED regardless of disease activity or duration. It joins TEPEZZA (teprotumumab) as an FDA-approved IGF-1 receptor inhibitor. This guide does not assume either drug is currently available in Nepal.

Can normal thyroid tests rule out TED?
No. TED can rarely occur with normal or low thyroid hormone levels.
Can TED cause blindness?
Rarely, severe corneal exposure or dysthyroid optic neuropathy can cause permanent vision loss.
Can glasses reduce proptosis?
No. Glasses correct refractive error but do not reverse bulging.
Can TED affect only one eye?
It is usually bilateral but can be markedly asymmetric or appear unilateral.
Does treating Graves disease instantly cure TED?
No. Thyroid control is important, but TED has its own course.
Does Vision Concern provide TEPEZZA or LUMVOA infusions?
No such on-site service is claimed.
Does Vision Concern perform orbital decompression?
No such on-site surgical service is claimed.
What are the most urgent TED symptoms?
New loss of vision, reduced color vision, missing visual field, severe corneal exposure or rapidly worsening orbital symptoms.
