Prevent Blindness has declared in a press release that its sixth annual Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) Week will take place November 10-16, 2025. As such, the organization says it is offerring a variety of free expert-approved TED educational resources, including comprehensive fact sheets and social media graphics, available in English and Spanish, and a dedicated webpage.
Additional resources to support awareness about vision loss and mental wellness can be found on the Prevent Blindness Living Well with Low Vision resource.
Also, as part of World Sight Day, which occurred on Oct. 9, 2025, Prevent Blindness and the Vision Health Advocacy Coalition (VHAC) produced the “Thyroid Eye Disease: Can I Talk About My Eyes?” webinar. This webinar included discussions on the importance of eye health in the thyroid community.
Further, as part of the collaboration with the VHAC, Prevent Blindness is offering the new animated video “Did You Know: Thyroid Eye Disease.”
Additionally, in a TED patient testimonial video, “Thyroid Eye Disease: Susan's Story,” a patient shares her experience with TED, including how an eye exam led to her TED diagnosis: Prevent Blindness ASPECT Patient Engagement program.
Finally, Prevent Blindness says it is supporting CONNECTED, the first global virtual conference created by and for people impacted by TED, according to a press release. Hosted by the TED Community Organization, this immersive, weeklong event brings together patients, caregivers, medical experts, advocacy leaders, and industry partners for 6 days of education, empowerment, and connection, according to a press release.
“Thyroid eye disease brings unique challenges, including potential vision loss and changes to a patient’s physical appearance,” says Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness, in the press release. “Through early diagnosis and treatment, the negative impact of TED on sight and emotional wellbeing can be significantly lessened.”
