Dr. Chen Xinyan
The patient presents with proptosis (bulging eyes), which may be caused by conditions such as hyperthyroidism, myopia, or orbital space-occupying lesions. Other possible causes include ocular inflammation or congenital ocular malformations. We recommend that the patient promptly visit a reputable hospital for a comprehensive ophthalmic examination to determine the underlying cause and initiate appropriate treatment as early as possible. In daily life, cultivating healthy eye-use habits may help alleviate ocular symptoms.
