Bulging Eyes
Treatment of Bulging Eye
When bulging leads to severe Dry Eyes , lubrication with artificial tears is needed to protect the cornea (the clear layer in front of the iris and pupil). Sometimes if lubrication is not sufficient, surgery to provide better coverage of the eye surface or to reduce bulging may be needed. Other treatments depend on the cause of bulging. For example, antibiotics are given for infections. Bulging due to Graves disease is not affected by treatment of the thyroid condition but may lessen over time. Corticosteroids (for example,prednisone) may help control swelling due to Graves disease or orbital pseudotumor. Tumors must be surgically removed.
