Asked By:star77 in Palm Springs, CA

Please see my pic for ref. I have always had big boggly eyes, and when I look at pictures maybe I have always had this prob to some degree.Past few weeks I have had pain and the appearance has become much more noticable. I even feel the white part of my eye is bigger or bulging.I do have prescription glasses that I don't wear and now that Im wearing them the pain has gotten worse. I do have an appt w/opthamologist next week, but I fear something insidious is occuring,but my mom had lazy eye surg
