Eye protrusion in myopic patients can be improved in some cases.
Normal eye protrusion in Chinese people is 7-20mm, with an average of 12-14mm, and it is generally considered that eye protrusion greater than 21mm is pathologic eye protrusion. Eye protrusion in myopic patients can be caused by a number of factors, some of which can be improved.
For myopia caused by long term wear of heavy myopia glasses, resulting in deformation of the skin at the inner corner of the eye due to compression of the nosepiece area of the frame, the symptoms can be improved by switching to lighter weight glasses or contact lenses, which can usually restore the localized deformation of the skin, thus improving the appearance.
There is no good way to improve the appearance of myopic protrusion caused by lengthening of the eye axis, that is, the anterior and posterior diameters of the eyeball are lengthened.
It is recommended that myopic patients with protruding eyeballs should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital in a timely manner so that the doctor can fully understand their condition and formulate a corrective plan.
