About

Eye to Eye Foundation: Supporting the Thyroid Eye Disease Community

Eye to Eye is a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing critical education, awareness, and support for individuals affected by Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). Founded by a group of physicians and advocates, the foundation was created in response to the growing need for trustworthy, accessible information about this often misunderstood and potentially debilitating condition. Eye to Eye’s mission is to empower patients, caregivers, family members, and the broader community with resources that enhance understanding, promote early diagnosis, and improve quality of life for those navigating TED.

Eye to Eye was formed as a resource to provide a variety of educational and outreach services. The foundation produces a regularly updated podcast series featuring leading ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, TED patients and other leading authorities who share expert insights, current research, and personal experiences. In addition, Eye to Eye hosts patient seminars both virtually and in person, offering opportunities for individuals to learn about symptom management, treatment options, and coping strategies. These events also create spaces for community-building and peer support.

The foundation is continuously developing and curating a comprehensive library of accessible literature, including brochures, fact sheets, and digital content tailored to different learning styles and levels of health knowledge and awareness. Recognizing the importance of scientific advancement, Eye to Eye provides regularly updated information on ongoing clinical trials and new therapies in development, helping patients and caregivers make informed decisions about participation and treatment options. By bridging the gap between patients and the medical community, Eye to Eye serves as a trusted partner in the TED journey, advocating for awareness, research, and compassionate care.

Ultimately, the Eye to Eye Foundation stands as a vital and trusted educational pillar in the fight against Thyroid Eye Disease. Its holistic, inclusive approach ensures that no one faces TED alone. Through education, community engagement, and continued advocacy, Eye to Eye empowers individuals with the knowledge and support they need to manage the condition with confidence and hope.

Our Mission

Empower Through Education

Eye to Eye was started due to the lack of educational resources available to patients which can often leave them confused, anxious and, perhaps, left with feelings of isolation. Through our two main mediums; educational patient seminars and enlightening podcasts, we aim to equip patients with the knowledge and tools to take control of their diagnosis.

Guidance Through Collaboration

Eye to Eye is in collaboration with world renowned TED clinicians to provide patients with the most up-to-date knowledge surrounding TED. Eye to Eye strives to give patients a sense of community and aspires to bring patients and physicians together for the ultimate gift of guidance through their TED journey.
