Without any pictures, it is impossible to tell how sunken the eyes are in and whether or not there anything that can be done about it. Most likely when the eyes are that sunken in and hollow there is very little that can be done. Fat grafting into the orbit is fraught with complications.

AS we age sometimes the eyes appear to sink back into the eye socket. This is something that can not be changed. WIhtout an exam it is hard to say , but if they appear hollow, fillers can be used along the rim to camouflage the appearance.

The eyes can't be "pushed forward". They can be made to look better in many patients with fillers placed along the orbital bone very carefully so you don't get lumps.
