Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a serious, progressive autoimmune disease with a limited window for pharmacologic treatment during the active disease. During this window, the disease may respond to pharmacologic intervention.

Learning Outcome: At the conclusion of this webinar, learners will be able to:
1. Describe the causes of TED as well as the symptomatology and the progression of the disease.
