Exophthalmos Imaginary

Exophthalmos is the absence of reaction of the palpebral fissures when the eyes are strongly squinted, a symptom of a general reaction in the form of unconscious removal of the eyeballs from the irritating object, due to the lack of closure of the external muscles of the eyeball (circular and external rectus). This type of exophthalmos has not been found in primates. In different situations of exophthalmia, innervation of the abducens nerve or extraocular muscle is observed. The function of the eye is impaired - immobility of the palpebral fissure occurs, and a fixed abduction of the eyeballs to one side is detected.

If we talk about the appearance of exophthalmia, then outwardly it manifests itself as strongly bulging eyes (the eyeball seems larger than its size) and impaired eye mobility. Sometimes this condition is accompanied by a feeling of pain. This condition can be either physiological (for example, in newborn infants) or pathological, requiring consultation with a doctor.

If these symptoms appear, you should definitely contact an ophthalmologist and neurologist to conduct an examination and identify the cause of the pathology. It is important to note that the eyeball will not protrude just like that, without the influence of extraneous factors. To prevent exophthalmic syndrome, you should follow the rules of personal hygiene, regularly carry out hygiene procedures and treat your eyes only with special solutions.
