TED-QoL / GO-QoL: Thyroid Eye Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire
The TED-QoL (also known as GO-QoL, Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life questionnaire) is a 16-item disease-specific instrument assessing quality of life impacts in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED), the ophthalmologic manifestation of Graves' disease. Developed by Terwee, Gerding, and colleagues in 2001, it captures both functional vision limitations and psychological distress related to the characteristic eye changes (exophthalmos, lid retraction, diplopia, appearance concerns). It is the gold-standard outcome measure for TED quality of life assessment.
