Thyroid Eye Disease Care in Morristown, NJ
Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition in which inflammation targets the muscles and fat around the eyes. It can cause bulging, double vision, eyelid retraction, and a staring appearance — and it changes over time. Care is staged: calm the active inflammation first, then correct the lasting changes with surgery when the disease is stable.
Who it helps
- Bulging or prominent eyes associated with a thyroid condition
- Double vision, especially when looking up or to the sides
- Eyelids that sit too high, creating a wide-eyed or staring look
- Eye pain, pressure, dryness, or light sensitivity from thyroid eye disease
- Patients with stable disease considering corrective eyelid or orbital surgery
What to expect
- A thorough evaluation of eye position, movement, eyelid height, and surface health, coordinated with your endocrinologist
- Medical management during active inflammation, with surgery reserved for when the disease is stable
- Staged surgical options when needed — orbital decompression, eye muscle surgery, and eyelid retraction repair
- Close follow-up at our Morristown office to track stability and time each step correctly
