What causes bulging eyes?

Thyroid problems can: One common cause of bulging eyes is thyroid disease, particularly graves' disease, where the thyroid over-produces thyroid hormones. Sometimes the eyes go back to normal once the thyroid condition is corrected; if not, treatment with steroids, radiation, or surgery may be needed.
