Watery, teary eyes? Red eyes? Double vision? If you have a thyroid condition and eye symptoms, ask your healthcare provider about Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) 👁. Symptoms can often be mistaken for allergies. Read more about TED symptoms 👇. TEDAwarenessWeek
Double visionYou might also have more severe symptoms such as not being able to move your eyes or eyelids well, not being able to completely close your eyes or, in rare cases, loss of vision. This can affect quality of life because it can affect your ability to drive, read and work and can impact your emotional well-being.Sometimes your HCP can make a diagnosis of TED based on your symptoms alone. To get a diagnosis of thyroid eye disease, you will need a physical exam, as well as an eye exam.
It might take visits to more than one HCP to get a TED diagnosis. You may be referred to see an ophthalmologist who is a doctor that specializes in eye and vision concerns, specifically a thyroid eye disease specialist with advanced training and experience treating TED. A referral to an endocrinologist, who is a doctor that treats hormone issues, might also be recommended to help you manage your thyroid condition.
Sometimes the symptoms of TED such as dry, red and irritated eyes can be mistaken for allergies. Tell your HCP about all your symptoms and medical history, so there is not a delay in diagnosis.While TED isn’t considered to be curable, there are treatments that can help manage your symptoms. The longer that TED remains untreated, the more likely serious damage can occur. Treatment is often started in the acute phase, but can still help during the chronic phase.
At home, you can use cool compresses or lubricating eye drops to give your dry or irritated eyes some relief.can help protect your eyes from the sun and wind. To help with the swelling and pressure near or in your eyes, try sleeping with your head elevated. Certain medications can help with eye swelling, such as steroid medications. There are also newer prescription infusions available that may help relieve symptoms.

Identification of Early and Extra-Early Maturing Tropical Maize Inbred Lines with Multiple Disease Resistance for Enhanced Maize Production and Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa | Plant DiseaseMaize, a staple for millions across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), faces major biotic constraints affecting production and safety of the crop. These include northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), southern corn leaf blight (SCLB), Curvularia leaf spot (CLS), and aflatoxin contamination by Exserohilum turcicum, Bipolaris maydis, Curvularia lunata, and Aspergillus flavus, respectively. Farmers in SSA would benefit tremendously if high-yielding maize hybrids with multiple disease resistance (MDR) were developed and commercialized. In all, 49 early-maturing (EM; 90 to 95 days to physiological maturity) and 55 extra-early-maturing (EEM, 80 to 85 days to physiological maturity) inbred lines developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture were identified as resistant to NCLB in field evaluations in multiple agroecologies of Nigeria in 2017 and 2018. From each maturity group, the 30 most resistant inbreds were selected for evaluation for resistance to SCLB and CLS using a detached-leaf assay. Additionally, the inbreds were screened for resistance to kernel rot and aflatoxin contamination using a kernel screening assay. In all, 7 EM and 6 EEM maize inbreds were found to be highly resistant to the three foliar pathogens while 10 inbreds were resistant to the foliar pathogens and supported significantly less (P=0.01) aflatoxin accumulation than other inbreds. Inbreds having MDR should be tested extensively in hybrid combinations and commercialized. Large-scale use of maize hybrids with MDR would (i) increase maize production and productivity and (ii) reduce losses caused by aflatoxin contamination. Overall, planting of EM and EEM maize hybrids with MDR would contribute to food security, reduced aflatoxin exposure, and increased incomes of maize farmers in SSA. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
