Information and Support for Thyroid Eye Disease

About us

Our aims TEDct was founded in 1990 and gained charitable trust status in 2002. It aims not only to create greater awareness of Thyroid Eye Disease, but also to inform and support those affected by the disease. What we do TEDct provides the opportunity for those affected by TED to receive support and all of the latest medical information from our newsletter, Q&As and other resources. We organise Patient Information Meetings and fundraising events, and also participate in appropriate medical conferences. Who we are TEDct is run entirely by volunteers. About half of our volunteers are medical professionals, from endocrinologists, to oculo-plastic surgeons, ophthalmic surgeons, and research scientists. The rest of our volunteers are people whose lives have been affected by TED, both directly and indirectly.

  • Thyroid Eye Disease Awareness Week: Let’s Talk About It “I don’t recognise myself anymore.” For many living with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), this phrase captures the emotional and physical challenges of a rare condition that changes not only how people look but how they feel about themselves. TED is an autoimmune disorder often linked to Graves’ disease, causing swelling, bulging eyes, double vision, and even vision loss in severe cases. It’s more than a medical condition—it’s a life-changing experience that affects confidence, mental health, and day-to-day living. This week is about raising awareness, amplifying voices, and encouraging early diagnosis and treatment. If you or someone you know is struggling with these symptoms, don’t hesitate to seek support from a healthcare professional or connect with others who understand. Let’s shine a light on this rare disease, break the stigma, and support those on their journey to recognition and recovery. #ThyroidEyeDisease #TEDAwareness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SupportAndEmpower
