Why are my eyes bulging?

The medical term for eyeball protrusion is exophthalmos. It can occur in various degrees in different people for a plethora of reasons. Some cases are congenital, as can be seen in people who just naturally have narrow orbital bones (the bones that make up the inner part of the eye socket behind the eyeball), and some cases are a result of sicknesses that stem from thyroid dysfunction.  

What are symptoms of bulging eyes?

When eyes protrude, they tend to give the face a "tired" look. Sometimes, people described as looking overly "intense". When protrusion is more than mild, the efficacy and functionality of the eyelid, as the eye's first line of defense, goes down.  These are enough reasons for some to consider undergoing corrective surgery.

What is bulging eye surgery and how can we here at EFIL help?

The procedure is simple -- widening the orbital room. This is accomplished in two way: the removal of orbital fat (fat behind the eye) and the shaving down of orbital bone. This creates more room for the eye to sit properly in the eye socket.

We here at EFIL have more than 10 years of experience in surgery for correcting exophthalmos (bulgy eyes). We have perfected the procedure so that it is fast and efficient. Quick, efficient execution of the surgery is important for reducing the number of complications that can occur and chances of infection.
