Ophthalmology Infusion Therapy in Toms River, NJ

Overview

Ophthalmologists care for the eyes and the tissues around them. Some eye conditions are caused by the immune system and are treated with medicines given by IV infusion. Infuse Care gives these ophthalmologist-prescribed infusions in private suites, with nurses who monitor each treatment and keep your eye care team informed.

Conditions We Support

• Thyroid eye disease (also called Graves' eye disease or Graves' orbitopathy)

Therapies That May Be Available at Infuse Care

• Tepezza (teprotumumab): IV infusion every three weeks for a set course of treatment

Whether this therapy is right for you depends on your diagnosis, how active the disease is and your specialist's order. Thyroid eye disease is often co-managed with an endocrinologist.

How Treatment May Help

Treatment may help reduce eye bulging, swelling, redness and double vision caused by thyroid eye disease. Results vary from person to person.

Treatment Considerations

Tepezza can raise blood sugar, so levels may be checked during treatment. It may also affect hearing, and it should not be used during pregnancy. Infusion reactions are possible. Our clinical team reviews each referral before scheduling and monitors you during and after every visit.

Your prescribing provider decides which treatment is right for you. Infuse Care administers prescribed therapies after a referral, a clinical review and any required insurance authorization, and we keep your provider's office updated on your care.
