Thyroid Eye Disease (TED): associated with predominantly Graves’ Disease, TED is characterized by inflammation and proptosis of the eyes, along with altered appearance and vision changes
(the above definition, reference from Dr. Raymond Douglas)
These are the very things that helped with my own symptoms of TED:
Eating anti-inflammatory foods on a daily basis and selenium rich foods
Craniosacral Therapy. If you are in Los Angeles area, I worked with Emma Julaud
Acupuncture and Cupping
Jaw massages throughout the day and eye exercises such as pen to nose convergence, daily
No blue light exposure 30m-1hr before bed and upon waking
Wearing blue light blocking glasses whenever I am in front of a screen (phone included) for long periods of time. And taking frequent breaks away from the screen throughout the day; utilize the 20-20-20 rule
Sleeping slightly upright, to help decrease eye swelling. Laying flat can encourage swelling or puffiness the next morning
If you have inflammation, use eye orbits for 10 minutes, morning and evening. Put them in the fridge to stay cool
If you have dry eyes, use a heated eye mask before sleeping and upon waking
Wearing an eye ointment at night to keep eyes lubricated and prevent them from drying out overnight. Systane Overnight Lubricant Eye Ointment is my preferred
Using (ideally preservative free) eye drops on a consistent basis throughout the day
Applying a non toxic eye cream or serum morning and night, to keep the skin around my eyes youthful and tight. Be gentle when applying - always use your ring finger and pat on, never rub
When outdoors, allowing my eyes to get a little of sunlight (even for just a few moments) before putting on sunglasses. Our eyes need vitamin D also, which is best absorbed directly
