🎆Cue the fireworks, Fresno!🎆 Because it’s time to talk about gaining your freedom back from TED—and no, we’re not talking about the guy who won’t stop talking about cryptocurrency at the BBQ. We’re talking about Thyroid Eye Disease, or TED for short. And if you’ve been dealing with it, you know it's no joke.
Bulging eyes, irritation, double vision—basically, your eyes are throwing a Fourth of July parade and you never even asked them to. But hey, there’s good news. Like “Tepezza-changed-my-life” kind of news.
At Spring Endocrinology in Fresno, we’re helping people break free from TED using Tepezza infusions, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for this eye condition. So yeah—this Independence Day, we're celebrating something a little more personal: freedom from Thyroid Eye Disease.
Let’s break it down. Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is like the surprise villain you didn’t know was in the movie. It usually shows up in people with Graves' disease—an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid—but sometimes it tags along uninvited, like a rude plus-one at a party.
So what does TED do?
Causes bulging eyes (proptosis)
Triggers dryness, irritation, and redness
Creates double vision or difficulty seeing
Leads to eye pain, pressure, or that “there’s sand in my eyes” feeling
Affects facial appearance, which can take a toll on confidence
And honestly? That’s a whole lot of drama to pack into two eyeballs.
Here’s the wild part: TED isn’t always directly linked to your thyroid hormone levels. You can have your thyroid "under control" on paper and still be dealing with full-blown TED.
Why? Because it’s autoimmune-based. That means your immune system is acting like that one overprotective friend who thinks everyone is a threat—so it goes after the muscles and tissues behind your eyes, thinking it’s helping. Spoiler alert: it’s not helping.
So while managing your hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism is important, it won’t automatically stop TED in its tracks. That’s where Tepezza comes in.
Okay, here’s where science steps in like a superhero.
Tepezza (teprotumumab) is a targeted IV infusion therapy that treats TED at its source. It calms down the immune system’s overreaction and reduces inflammation and swelling behind the eyes.
Reduces bulging of the eyes
Improves double vision
Relieves eye pressure and pain
Decreases redness and irritation
Restores confidence and normal appearance (YES, that matters)
And we’re not talking about “in a few years” here. Many patients see visible results after just a couple of infusions.
It’s like telling your immune system, “Hey buddy, maybe sit this one out.”
Great question. We’re not gonna sugarcoat it—it’s a series of infusions. But the good news? It’s a clear plan with an endpoint.
1 infusion every 3 weeks
Total of 8 infusions over 24 weeks
Each appointment takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours
Done right here in our Fresno clinic, where the chairs are comfy and the vibes are chill
And after those 6 months? You’re likely to be living with less pain, less pressure, and fewer mirror check-ins filled with frustration.
Let’s find out. Tepezza is designed for adults with active TED, which means the inflammation is still ongoing.
You might be a good candidate if:
You’ve been diagnosed with Graves’ disease or autoimmune thyroid disease
Your eyes are bulging, red, irritated, or painful
You have double vision or visual changes
You’re early in the TED process (we want to treat it before it causes permanent changes)
The sooner you start, the better your chances at full symptom relief and eye function restoration.
We’ll walk you through the process, work with your insurance, and make sure this treatment makes sense for YOU.
Look, TED isn’t something you want to mess around with. You need a team that understands both thyroid AND eye-related conditions—and at Spring Endocrinology, that’s exactly what we bring to the table.
Here’s what you get with us:
👨‍⚕️ Experienced providers who specialize in thyroid and metabolic disorders

We’re proud to serve Fresno, Clovis, and the greater Central Valley with expert, compassionate endocrine care—and yes, that includes helping your eyes feel and look like you again.
TED isn’t just a physical condition—it hits you emotionally, socially, and even professionally.
We’ve had patients who:
Avoided family photos because of how their eyes looked
Struggled with driving due to double vision
Dealt with daily eye pain that affected their mood and sleep
Felt embarrassed, anxious, or withdrawn
You deserve freedom from that. You deserve to feel like yourself again—not the version of you who has to explain your condition at every social event.
So yes, this July, let’s celebrate the kind of independence that matters on the daily—freedom from Thyroid Eye Disease.
