Cause Of Receding Eye With Prior Spinal Tumor?

I had an eye exam recently and was told I need to see an ophthalmologist because my right eye is receding. I've never had any surgery to my face or had an injury to the eye. I'm 52 and have neurofibromatosis. When I was 16 I had a tumor removed from my spine which affected everything on right side of body. My right I is also lazy due to the surgery. What could be causing the receding?
