Protrude1

• This causes the eyeballs to protrude. (medicinenet.com)

Hyperthyroidism1

• The solution of exophthalmos will depend on the underlying cause, since treating the underlying pathology (a tumour, hyperthyroidism, haemangioma …) will improve the eye alteration. (miranza.es)

Displacement1

• An exophthalmometer is an instrument used to measure the degree of forward displacement of the eye in exophthalmos. (seeaugenpraxis.ch)
