Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a mass lesion behind the eye causing proptosis.
The treatment depends on the cause. If it usa benign tumour or cyst the treatment is by surgery.
If it is inflammatory lesion like pseudo tumor it will get resolved by medical treatment with steroids.
Hence please get back to me with diagnosis so that I can guide you regarding further treatment.
Thank you
