It is normal for the eyes to appear slightly protruding after wearing glasses for a long time. If the protrusion is mild, no specific treatment is required—simply controlling myopia progression and maintaining healthy eye habits is sufficient. However, if the eye protrusion is pronounced, it may not be caused by wearing glasses but rather by conditions such as hyperthyroidism or other underlying diseases. In such cases, prompt medical evaluation is essential to determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
