Eyes bulging out
Recently my mother told me my eyes are bulging out a little. I want to know why and is there a way to reverse it. I smoke and had been taking high dose of marijuana for years till last month. Is it because of this or I have some symptoms of disease. Please give some advice. Sorry for that scary pic 😂

Bulging of eyes or proptosis is an abnormal sign and indicates disease. The most common cause is thyroid disorder (which is aggravated by smoking), but there may be other causes as well. You need to consult an Ophthalmologist immediately to get a thorough check up.
Next Steps
Consult an eye specialist right away.
Health Tips
Do not ignore it, it is reversible with appropriate treatment of the underlying cause.
