TED transitions from active to inactive phase when inflammation slows down and eye changes stop progressing. The active phase typically lasts between 6 months to 2-3 years before entering the inactive phase.

The main indicator that TED has become inactive is that symptoms stabilize and stop getting worse. While some symptoms may still be present, they won't continue to change or progress during the inactive phase. This distinction between phases is important for treatment planning, particularly if surgery is being considered. The inactive phase is generally considered the safer and more optimal time for surgical interventions since there's less inflammation and the eyes have stabilized in their position.
