Am I a candidate for Orbital Decompression?

Orbital decompression is a very effective option to reduce genetic protruding eyes but has some risks. There are other complimentary options as well such as lower orbital rim implant, with its own limitation. Best to see a experienced oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion of options. See following link which also includes a published manuscript on performing orbital decompression surgery on patients like yourself.

There is a lot of hype about decompression surgery, but carefully consider all options.  I feel comfortable saying this having done thousands of these operations- do not take things lightly but have a complete evaluation.
Some people have very prominent eyes. Often this is caused by a medical condition called graves disease or thyroid eye disease.  But often it is due to trauma or just being born that way.  This can be quite concerning for many people in that it makes them appear intense or not normal.  Many patients ask if there is anything that can be done and in the past the answer was not too much at least safely

Now that is untrue. We specialize in moving the eyes back or improving this bulging appearance for patients. This is specialized surgery that very few doctors would offer but our group has done thousands of these surgeries and our patients are very happy. In fact most find it life changing as you can find out from our patients.    Not everyone has bulging eyes and NOT everyone needs a decompression so it is important to customize the process.  Surgical and nonsurgical options are available
You should have an evaluation by a qualified oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.
