Treating TED: More Than Meets the Eye (Online CME Monograph)
Activity Description and Purpose
This educational activity aims to equip oculoplastic surgeons and ophthalmologists with advanced knowledge of the diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and management of thyroid eye disease (TED), highlighting the importance of a collaborative, multidisciplinary care team. Through engaging content delivered by esteemed experts, participants will explore TED diagnostic criteria, the latest clinical data for creating personalized treatment plans, and effective strategies for managing adverse effects such as hyperglycemia and hearing loss associated with insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor antagonists. The educational activity integrates didactics, clinical case studies, and discussion panels, designed to reinforce learning objectives and encourage the application of knowledge in clinical settings. The desired results of this activity are to improve clinicians’ ability to accurately diagnose TED, optimally integrate therapies for TED according to clinical data, identify and manage treatment-related adverse events, and incorporate strategies for fostering multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients living with this disease.
