Out of Total Number of TED patients:
1. 80% are from Hyper-functioning Thyroid (Graves Disease).
3. 5% are from unclassified group, having Normal-functioning Thyroid.
In TED, the body's own Defence Immune system goes weak / awry, and this leads to antibody formation-----which causes Inflammations of Orbital contents-------- usually of Extra-ocular muscles, Orbital fat and of Eye-lid muscles. Hence, the disease mostly lies in between the BALL & BONE. The inside portion of Eye-balls itself is not affected in TED.
