| Description |
TED is an orbital autoimmune disease that causes pain, dysmotility, vision-impairment, facial alterations and other debilitating sequelae. Although improvement can occur as inflammation subsides, patients often have persistent discomfort, tearing, diplopia, and facial disfigurement that includes proptosis and eyelid retraction. These sequalae can severely impact quality of life (QOL).1-3 The current survey examined QOL in 100 chronic US TED patients. |
