Proptosis
A medical emergency where the eyeball is displaced forward out of the socket, often due to blunt trauma.
Key Facts
- The eyelids typically become trapped behind the globe, preventing normal closure.
- Keeping the exposed eye moist with saline, water, or lubricating jelly prevents tissue drying.
- Owners must never attempt to manually push the displaced eyeball back into the socket.
- Surgical repositioning under anesthesia is required to safely restore normal anatomy.
