Understanding Exophthalmos: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Exophthalmic refers to a condition where the eyeball protrudes beyond its normal position in the eye socket. This can be caused by various factors such as thyroid disorders, tumors, or inflammation. It can also be a symptom of other conditions such as Graves' disease or orbititis.
Exophthalmos can cause a variety of symptoms including double vision, blurred vision, eye strain, and difficulty moving the eyes. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as vision loss, eye muscle imbalance, and even blindness. Treatment options for exophthalmos depend on the underlying cause, but may include medication, surgery, or radiation therapy.
