If you’re suffering from thyroid eye disease (TED), you know that it’s a lot more than a cosmetic issue. It can cause pain, dryness, red, watery eyes, double or blurred vision and other symptoms. It can happen to anyone who suffers from Graves’ Disease – an immune disorder of the thyroid gland.
At Plastic Eye Surgery Associates, we offer both surgical and non-surgical options for thyroid eye disease treatment in River Oaks. Whichever option you choose, you can rest assured that you’re under the care of highly trained, internationally recognized oculoplastic surgeons. With offices here in Houston and in Florida, we have treated patients with TED from across the country and around the world.
Reconstructive Surgery
Three different surgical procedures are typically required in our River Oaks TED treatment. These are:
- Orbital bony decompression
- Eye muscle surgery
- Eyelid contraction surgery
These are performed over a period of time to restore vision and appearance. We always say that this treatment is a marathon – not a sprint.
With such delicate surgery, you need to trust your surgeon. That’s why people turn to us for their Graves’ Disease treatment in River Oaks Houston. Our doctors have done more than 6,000 thyroid eye disease surgeries.
We’re proud to have earned a host of honors over the nearly three decades we’ve been doing cosmetic and reparative eye procedures. Our surgeons have published hundreds of articles in medical journals and spoken and lectured on oculoplastic surgery on five different continents.
Non-surgical Treatment
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a non-surgical TED treatment called Tepezza – and Plastic Eye Surgery Associates is proud to be at the forefront of this exciting new treatment. Tepezza is administered via IV infusion. It has been shown to significantly reduce bulging (proptosis) and inflammation in patients.
