Exophthalmos describes a medical condition where the eyeball or eyeballs protrude from the sockets of the eyes. As a result, the affected individual has the appearance of bulging eyes. It’s more common for this condition to affect one eye only, but in many cases, it affects both eyes at the same time. Depending on the severity of the situation, the affected individual may experience various complications that are related to the onset of bulging eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s common for people with bulging eye disorder to develop other diseases such as conjunctivitis or dry eye syndrome. Both of these conditions affect the membrane lining the eye, causing inflammation. If you experience the onset of bulging eyes, it’s best to seek advice from a qualified optician or ophthalmologist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provided there is no significant threat to your health or your vision; you can try the following home remedies to help you deal with the effects of bulging eyes.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Natural Tears<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Natural tears are a brand of eye drops readily available from any health store or pharmacy. These eye drops contain lubricating materials that help to coat the eyeball and prevent the onset of dry eye<\/a> syndrome. Many people who suffer the effects of bulging eyes notice that their eyes start to dry out throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulging eyes make it challenging for the affected individual to blink. As a result, they may start to refrain from blinking throughout the day, leading to the onset of dry eye syndrome. Using eye drops frequently throughout the day helps to lubricate the eyeballs and keep inflammation in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various brands of natural tears, and lubricating eye drops available. Speak to your doctor or ophthalmologist about the best brands and which ones you should use.

You can try using tea\u00a0preparations to help assist with your symptoms of inflammation <\/a>and irritation caused by the onset of bulging eyes. Patients who are dealing with the condition may find that they develop adverse reactions to their inability to blink.

We recommend that you give chamomile tea a try. Brew yourself a hot cup of chamomile tea and let the teabag steep 4 to 5-minutes before drinking. After you finish drinking the tea, squeeze out the tea bag and place it over the affected eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chamomile is a natural nervine agent that helps to soothe the nervous system. By placing the tea bag over the eye, you relieve the stress in the eyeball and the ocular nerves. Letting the tea soak into your eye helps to lubricate the eyeball, and provides the eye with a dose of this potent nervine agent.

The lavender essential oil has a potent anti-inflammatory effect that helps to soothe the symptoms of bulging eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People were dealing with the effects of bulging eyes, may notice that they start to develop chronic dry eye syndrome. With this condition, the eyes begin to dry out as the patient blinks less. This situation may lead to the onset of pain in the eyes, due to the eyeball not receiving enough moisture throughout the day. As a result, the affected individual may start to experience symptoms of sensitivity to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light sensitivity symptoms typically start as mild, and the patient may begin to squint or feel slight pain when in bright areas. If left untreated and manage the condition may result in severe pain when the patient is out in direct sunlight<\/a>. Symptoms escalate over time, and the patient may notice that their symptoms of light sensitivity increase over a period of weeks or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patient may also find that they may start to experience light sensitivity when watching television in a dark room. To overcome these symptoms of light sensitivity, try wearing dark sunglasses outside, and always leave a light on in the room when watching television.

5. Use a Cold Gel Mask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People dealing with the onset of bulging eyes may notice that they start to develop and aching pain in the eyeball. As the eyes protrude out of the eye socket, it places pressure on the ocular nerve, as well as the ligaments <\/a>and tendons around the eye. These symptoms typically start mild and increase in intensity over a period of weeks or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To gain relief from the symptoms of aching and pain associated with bulging eye syndrome, the patient can try using a cold gel mask. Cold gel masks are readily available online from your favorite health retailer. These masks contain a liquid that holds cold temperatures for extended periods. The shape of the mask looks like a pair of sunglasses that you strap around your head, and the gel inside is typically blue in color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Avoid Touching Your Eyes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who are dealing with bulging eye syndrome may notice that they start to develop a significant amount of inflammation <\/a>and redness around the eyes and eyelids. One of the reasons why this inflammation occurs is due to the onset of chronic dry eye syndrome. Patients who are dealing with bulging eyes may find that they blink less often.\u00a0as a result, the patient does not receive enough lubrication to the eyeball, leading to the onset of dry eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of dry eye syndrome, the patient may want to rub their eyes frequently throughout the day. However, rubbing the eyes causes an exacerbation in dry eye syndrome, increasing the intensity of the irritation in the affected individual. You should avoid rubbing or touching your eyes whenever possible and try to become conscious of when and why you touch your eyes throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altering this behavior helps to reduce the inflammation on the eyelids, helping to provide relief from symptoms of irritation associated with bulging eyes.

7. Control Lifestyle Factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients who are dealing with bulging eye syndrome should evaluate their lifestyle habits and make necessary changes to relieve the effects of the condition. Lifestyle <\/a>factors such as smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol can increase the intensity and duration of bulging eye syndrome. The eyes are susceptible to cigarette smoke,\u00a0and if you smoke, you should consider a cessation program to improve the health of your eyes and your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol also has a detrimental effect on people dealing with bulging eye syndrome. Drinking alcohol dehydrates the body, and less moisture reaches the eyeball. Another common cause of the itching symptoms associated with bulging eye syndrome is dust. People that live in a dusty area and experience the onset of dry eye syndrome should consider using eye drops frequently throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it’s possible, you should relocate to another area of the country with high humidity levels. By making these adjustments to your lifestyle, it may also help reduce your symptoms of bulging eyes.

8. Check Your Diet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients who are dealing with bulging eye syndrome should evaluate their diet. If you’re eating too many refined carbohydrates<\/a>, such as flour and sugar in your diet, then this could be a cause of the problem. Refined carbohydrates cause substantial amounts of inflammation throughout the body. As a result, the muscular system that controls the muscles and tendons in the eyes may start to experience redness and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid all sources of refined carbohydrates such as bread, cereals, and all forms of sugar. Replace these foods with nutritious sources of slow-burning carbohydrates, such as sprouts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Increase your intake of healthy fats, as well as essential fatty acids like Omega-3. By making these dietary changes, you reduce the systemic inflammation in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may come as a surprise how your diet plays such a significant role in your health. However, making these few changes could result in a severe reduction of the symptoms associated with bulging eyes.
