Massage recovery for bulging eyeballs

Most people's eyeballs look basically flat, but some people's eyeballs bulge outward and look bulging, similar to goldfish eyes. Therefore, people also call this type of eyes "goldfish eyes." There are two main reasons for "goldfish eyes": one is due to myopia, which lengthens the eye's axial distance, and the other is hyperthyroidism. Some people try to restore their eyes through massage, but to no avail.

1. What causes bulging eyes?

1. Myopia

Myopia causes the eye's axial distance to increase, causing the eyeball to bulge outward.

2. Hyperthyroidism exophthalmos

Thyroid-associated eye disease (TAO) is one of the common complications of Graves' disease, also known as "hyperthyroid exophthalmos", "endocrine infiltrative eye disease", "endocrine exophthalmos", "infiltrative exophthalmos", "endocrine infiltrative exophthalmos", etc. It is a complex orbital disease caused by multiple factors, resulting from periorbital cell infiltration, edema, and connective tissue hyperplasia. It primarily affects the extraocular muscles, lacrimal glands, and retroorbital fat. Exophthalmos may be present alone or in combination with diffuse goiter, pretibial myxedema, or a combination of all three in the same patient.

2. Treatment of bulging eyes

1. Myopia and exophthalmos

Myopia causes the eye's axial distance to increase, causing the eyeball to bulge outward. Once this problem is formed, it cannot be eliminated by massage.

2. Hyperthyroidism exophthalmos

The most commonly used clinical treatment for exophthalmos is corticosteroids, such as prednisone, which have certain therapeutic effects and are easy to use. However, it has a slow effect, a long course of disease and many side effects. Other immunosuppressants, such as cyclochrome A and cyclophosphamide, have certain therapeutic effects, but they have significant side effects. The effectiveness of other methods, such as radiotherapy, blood transfusion therapy and even surgical treatment for severe exophthalmos, is still uncertain. Some people also used Yunke for treatment, but apart from improving some symptoms, it had no obvious effect on exophthalmos. In fact, Chinese medicine has few side effects in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, and its efficacy is worthy of recognition.

The most common clinical treatment for exophthalmos is traditional Chinese medicine. Hyperthyroidism tea can be used, which has a certain effect and is easy to use.

Clinically, as the symptoms of hyperthyroidism improve after treatment, some patients' exophthalmos may improve, while in some patients, their hyperthyroidism improves after treatment, but their exophthalmos may worsen. The general situation is that the natural course of the disease from onset to stabilization and remission is usually 6 months to 3 years. Exophthalmos is most serious within 4-12 months after onset, and its development often tends to stop on its own. Half of the patients can regress 3-7 mm after 1-3 years, and the symptoms of soft tissue involvement can be alleviated or disappear, but exophthalmos rarely returns to normal, and usually still leaves a certain degree of eyelid retraction, hypertrophy, exophthalmos, and extraocular muscle fibrosis.
