Alright Fresno—let’s get something straight. It’s hot. We’re talkin’ 105 degrees-in-the-shade, AC-blasting, “don’t-touch-the-steering-wheel” kind of hot. Now imagine trying to deal with bulging, dry, irritated eyes on top of that? Yeah… that’s not a vibe. If you’ve been battling Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), then you already know Fresno summers and irritated eyes go together like flip-flops and gravel. It hurts. It burns. And it’s not something you can just tough out.
But good news? You don’t have to.
At Spring Endocrinology in Fresno, we’re bringing the relief—Tepezza infusions, the only FDA-approved treatment for Thyroid Eye Disease, and it’s changing lives for folks dealing with Graves’ disease, bulging eyes, blurry vision, and all the drama that TED brings. So let’s break this all down before the sun sets and your eyes feel like sandpaper.
Thyroid Eye Disease is one of those conditions that sneaks up on you. You think it’s just some allergies, maybe you slept weird, maybe you watched one too many episodes of that new Netflix show. But then BAM—your eyes are swollen, red, watery, and just straight-up bugging out.
And guess what? It’s not just a surface problem. TED happens when your immune system starts attacking the tissues behind your eyes—usually linked with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid.
👁️ Bulging or protruding eyes (that “I just saw a ghost” look)
🔥 Eye pain and pressure
🎯 Double vision or blurry vision
💧 Watery, dry, or gritty-feeling eyes
😵 Light sensitivity
😠 Eyelid swelling or trouble closing your eyes
Now, TED doesn’t care if it’s summer, winter, or leap year. It’s progressive, meaning it can start off mild and get worse fast. And if you don’t handle it early, it can lead to permanent vision problems. That’s where we come in.
Listen, living in Fresno means we’re used to extremes. It’s either foggy or frying-pan hot. And when you’ve got TED, that dry heat isn’t just annoying—it makes things way worse.
Heat dehydrates your body and your eyes.
Allergens and dust irritate inflamed tissues.
UV exposure adds fuel to the fire when your eyes are already sensitive.
You can wear sunglasses. You can use eyedrops. But none of that is going to stop the underlying immune attack going on behind the scenes. That’s why Tepezza isn’t just an option—it’s a game-changer.
Now let’s talk about the real MVP—Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw). This isn’t just another eye drop or prescription med that masks the symptoms. Tepezza goes after the root cause of TED. It’s the first and only FDA-approved treatment specifically designed to stop the inflammation and swelling behind the eyes.
Think of Tepezza like a bouncer at a club—it kicks the troublemakers (autoantibodies) out of the party behind your eyes. It works by blocking a specific receptor (IGF-1R, for the science folks), which calms down the overactive immune response causing all that swelling, redness, and bulging.

🧊 Improved vision
🧊 Better eye movement and function
🧊 Relief from light sensitivity and dryness
Most patients start seeing results after just 2-3 infusions, and the full course is 8 infusions over 6 months. No surgery. No guesswork. Just targeted, powerful relief.
At Spring Endocrinology, we make sure you’re comfortable from start to finish. Because look, if you’re getting an IV, it shouldn’t feel like boot camp.
Here’s how it works:
Consultation: We review your symptoms, your thyroid history, and make sure you’re a good candidate.
Infusion Appointments: Tepezza is administered via IV every 3 weeks. Each session takes about 90 minutes.
Monitoring & Follow-up: We check your progress, manage any side effects, and support you through the whole process.
You can kick back, bring headphones, and scroll through your feed while the medication does its thing. It’s that chill.
If you’ve been dealing with TED symptoms for more than 9 months, or if your eyes look different, feel worse, or your vision’s taking a hit, you owe it to yourself to check out Tepezza.
It’s especially important if you’re:
✔️ Living with Graves’ disease or hyperthyroidism
✔️ Not seeing results with other treatments
✔️ Not ready for or interested in surgical intervention
✔️ Tired of feeling like your eyes are working against you
And if you’re in Fresno or the Central Valley, you don’t have to drive out to L.A. or San Francisco. We’re right here, ready to help.
Look—we’re not a generic clinic that’s going to run you through like cattle. This is specialty care. This is precision medicine. This is personal.

Let’s be honest—Thyroid Eye Disease doesn’t go away on its own, and the longer you wait, the harder it gets to fix. If you’ve been waking up with dry eyes, pressure, bulging, or blurred vision, don’t chalk it up to allergies or “just stress.” TED is real. And it’s treatable.
This summer, don’t just beat the heat—beat TED too.
