Protruding eyes
Protruding eyes is a facial feature in which a person's eyes appear to come forward out of the eye sockets a bit, in comparison to the average person of the same racial/ethnic group. Facial features can be familial (passed from parent to child), or they can sometimes be due to a medical condition.
