Do I Have Exophthalmos? (photo)

September 10, 2013
Asked By:Maverick90 in TX

I am a 25 year old male and I believe I may have exophthalmos. My eyes bulge especially from my side profile view. In addition I think I may have ptosis. I also have lagothalamos (I sleep with my eyes half open). I have got my thyroid levels checked at the doctor but everything was normal. My question if there is any treatment options available for me? Thanks!
