Thyroid Eye Disease Risk Factors

It’s not entirely known why some people develop Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and others don’t. But doctors have identified certain factors that put people at greater risk, including a thyroid condition (like Graves’ disease), gender, age, smoking, and more.

Use the TED Risk Assessment Tool to find out if you may be at risk for developing TED. Be sure to contact a TED Eye Specialist and review your results with him or her.
