I would definitely consult an eye doctor.  Bulging eyes are a common sign in several conditions, including hyperthyroidism.

If it's getting gray around the outside of the iris (the color part), that is something that normally happens as you age. It's fat deposits, but nothing to worry about. If it's getting cloudy around the pupil, or you are having increased difficulty seeing, go get it checked out soon, there could be a problem.

It sounds like you're experiencing a migraine aura, but you really should get it checked out with your eye doctor ASAP to make sure that it isn't a retinal detachment.

I think you need to see a doctor.  It could be a nerve issue or muscle or both, since the nerves and muscles work together.  An opthomologist is who you want to see.

Hi.   I am so sorry to hear about your diagnoses. \n\nFirst, lets talk about the macula.  This is the center of the vision.  When you look at your watch to tell time or read a book or look at details, you are using your macula.  It is a very small part of the retina, but very important for seeing details.   \n\nThere are two types of macular degeneration, dry and wet. The wet type usually comes on suddenly and there are a few treatments out there to slow vision loss.  The dry type is a progressive type and right now we have no treatment for it.  You have to be watched to make sure you do not have a sudden change in the vision so that you do not develop the wet type. You can use mini blinds or anything with straight edges to monitor your vision.  Check each eye every day and make sure that you are not noticing straight lines starting to curve or become distorted.\n\nNext, over the years there has been a ton of research on this condition because it is soooo common and sooooo frustrating.  The newest research says that taking a vitamin with Lutein and Zeaxanthin.  You can buy these over the counter at the pharmacy.  If you take a vitamin anyway you might as well take one with these ingredients in them. Studies are showing that this MAY slow the progression of the disease.  \n\nNow, one other thing, you do not go totally blind with macular degeneration.  People with advanced disease can still see to get around.  I am by no means downplaying the debilitation that this disease causes but the most common fear is blindness and this disease does not leave you completely without sight.  \n\nYou are also VERY nearsighted and this is of concern because of the length of the eye and the tendency to have retinal detachments or lattice degeneration, which is where the retina "stretches" and can cause a tear leading to detachment.  This is probably why they told you to stop with the TKD with the fear that you may get hit in the eye and with your eye being vulnarable already it could be bad.\n\nGood luck to you, I hope this information can help you somehow.

yeah I agree it's a muscle spasm..coz it happens to me when I get stressed coz I sit all day on the computer...my doctor told me that the eye muscles are very weak..so they get affected easily by stress..just relax them a bit and take vitamins with Zinc

That is normal for your eye to do so every once in a while, so I wouldn't worry about it. I think it is funny every time my eye does, it feel funny and weird.

You should see an eye doctor to be sure. It could be stress, however, it could be something else. I'd check with a professional to be sure.

It's entirely possible that it's related to your thyroid condition, but there are many other possible causes.  You should really go to your eye doctor to rule out more serious causes.

I doubt it but at the same time talk to a specialist and explain your case to them because it might be something to be concerned of but I really doubt it. But it doesn't hurt to check. Please take this advise.

If they form in a cicle around the coloured part of your eye - get a cholesterol test as they can be a sign of hypercholesterolaemia.  \n\nYou should  always  see your optician/opthalmologist/doctor about any unusual condition.

Definately can be related. It sounds like he burst a blood vessel in his eye.\n\n Might want to check with the Dr. on this. to make sure it isn't getting worse, and to check his blood pressure.

The recurring eye twitch I was going to say could easily be a vitamin deficiency. But then I opened the question and read the details. That would be a little disconcerting. You know, it never hurts to go see your friendly neighborhood doctor and just have everything checked out occasionally. Oh I know the turn your head and cough bit is a tad uncomfortable too, but hey.........at least you don't have stirrups. Ok the point being....go see the doctor no matter what is going on in your head. And don't procrastinate because you are afraid of bad news. He'll probably tell you to start eating right and get more exercise. That feeds your brain more vitamin B and that just might take care of everything! So listen to those people that wrote above me. Make an appt. soon........but let us know how it goes.

I am not a doctor, but know somebody with lung cancer, he told me that before being diagnosed: he noticed how one of his eyes seemed lower than the other, constipation, hoarseness, and sweating at night on one side of his back only.\nThe best to do, will be to go see a Doctor, good luck.

I suppose you had a retinal detachment. I strongly recommend you to undergo an ophalmologist check. I would fear a fibrous tissue formation around silicone vesicles, which is a rather constant complication and of early occurrence.
