Thyroid issues, such as Graves\u2019 disease or hyperthyroidism, are the most common causes of the condition. Treatments include medications for thyroid disease, artificial tears, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and surgery.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What is proptosis?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Proptosis is when one or both of your\u00a0eyes\u00a0bulge from their natural position. The condition can affect your appearance, leaving you with a startled expression that doesn\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Proptosis can also make it difficult for you to blink. When you can\u2019t blink, the protective outer layer of your eyes (corneas) doesn\u2019t receive the lubrication it needs to do its job. You may be at risk for cornea damage. Some people experience other complications, like\u00a0low vision\u00a0or\u00a0double vision (diplopia).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Other names for proptosis include bulging eyes, protruding eyes and exophthalmos.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7092\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"572\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-4.png 572w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-4-300x131.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Symptoms and Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the signs of proptosis?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When your eyes bulge, the white part of your eyes is more visible.

Don\u2019t let proptosis disrupt your life. The sooner you see your healthcare provider, the sooner they\u2019ll be able to determine the cause. That will help guide your treatment and prevent complications. It\u2019s also important to take care of your mental health. Reaching out to a mental health provider can help keep your emotions in check, and a social worker can help guide you to resources you can use for support.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Cost in Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The cost of protruding eye (exophthalmos) surgery in Iran is highly lower than that in most other countries and this is because of economic factors.
