Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment in Mumbai

https://drsumerdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Banner-2.png

What is TED?

Thyroid eye disease (TED) also called Graves’ eye disease is a condition where the muscles and fat behind the eye become swollen. It can push the eyes forward (“bulging” or “staring” eyes), cause double vision, redness, watering, swollen lids and rarely affect vision

Dr Sumer Doctor is an oculoplastic and orbital surgeon in Mumbai who manages thyroid eye disease through every stage from taming active swelling to restoring form when the disease is inactive.

What Are The Symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease?

  • Eyes looking more prominent, staring, or bulging

  • Mismatched eyelids

  • A gritty, dry feeling

  • Double vision, or difficulty moving the eyes

  • Redness or swelling of the lids and the white of the eye

  • A feeling of pressure or fullness behind the eyes

  • Discomfort in bright light

What Are The Treatment Options For Thyroid Eye Disease?

1. Medical management

 

For mild disease, the priority is comfort and protection: lubricating drops and lifestyle changes. A prominent eye can be masked at this stage with steroid injections. For moderate to severe active disease steroid medication and immunosuppression is considered. The aim is to shorten the active phase and limit lasting damage.

 

2. Orbital decompression surgery (for bulging eyes)

 

When the eyes remain pushed forward after the disease settles, orbital decompression creates more room behind the eye by reshaping a small amount of bone and fat. This allows the eye to settle back into a more natural position.

 

3. Eyelid surgery

 

TED often pulls the upper or lower lids back, creating the wide, startled “stare” and exposing the eye. Eyelid repositioning surgery brings the lids back to a natural height, protects the surface of the eye, and softens the appearance.
