Exophthalmometer: See your eye md for evaluation if you are concerned. If your eyes appear asymmetrically prominent, there is a way to measure this using a hertel exophthalmometer. Differences between the eyes that exceed ethnic based normals genenerlly are evaluated by imaging studies. If you are having any other issues like double vision, there may be thyroid or other problems an eye md can evaluate.
