Important Announcement: We've partnered with ReFocus Eye Health to best focus on providing the best patient care possible. Of course, our doctors and staff will remain the same but our name, logo, and website will be updated as we integrate with the ReFocus family of eye clinics. This will not affect your appointments or your patient experience in the least. 

Important Annoucement: Our Blue Bell clinic is now closed. All patients from that office will be seen at our state-of-the-art North Wales location, where they can expect the same caliber of exceptional eye care and patient experience. This location is only 6 miles away and has ample parking.

Tepezza for Thyroid Eye Disease

Thyroid Eye Disease can have a significant impact on patient eye health. It may initially present as a simple dry eye, but can progress to more serious conditions such as double vision or permanent vision loss. In the past we had treatment options geared toward managing the symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease, but limited ability to treat its cause. Now there is an excellent option to help patients with Thyroid Eye Disease and treat its cause.

Tepezza is the first and only FDA approved treatment for Thyroid Eye Disease. Tepezza is unique because it treats the cause of Thyroid Eye Disease not just the symptoms. Our practice is staffed with excellent providers who are skilled in diagnosing Thyroid Eye Disease and can help patients in their journey toward managing their condition and lead a more happy and healthy life.

If you are diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or you are concerned you may have one, our practice can help you. We have the resources needed to see if Tepezza is an option for you and can help you get treated. Please call us for an appointment.
