“Signs of bulging eyes?”
I want to know if there are any signs of bulging eyes.

No, your eye photos look normal. I am reasonably sure your question is motivated by advertising for Tepezza, a newly approved IV therapy for Graves Disease, which causes swelling behind the eyes in some patients. If you have any reason to be concerned about the appearance or comfort of your eyes, or are having vision problems, please consult an ophthalmologist for an in-person visit.

The most common bulge is related to the thyroid gland. Look in the mirror and see if the whites of the eyes on top is showing. Compare how you look to old facial photographs to see if they have changed. Ask your partner if the eyes do not completely close when you are asleep. The most common bulging eyes affect one eye more than the other so asymmetry should be easily noted.
