What Causes Bulging In Eye?

What can cause one eye to bulge? I am a 34 year old female. This cannot be seen in photos from several years ago... I have had previous symptoms where the eye was bulging very noticeably. MRI revealed nothing causing pressure behind eye. I now notice how much larger my left eye is in pictures, than the right... I feel the left side of my face when I smile is also not the same as the right. NO high blood pressure or other signs of a stroke.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having bulging of one eye.
This is called as proptosis. The common causes to be ruled out are thyroid ophthalmopathy and space occupying lesions of the orbit.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
