Question

Protrusion of the eyes is called exophthalmos. How is it related to thyroid dysfunction

Proptosis and exophthalmos are the medical terms used to describe bulging eyes. Thyroid hormones control metabolism, so excessive amounts of T4 or T3 cause a metabolic rate that is too high. This is called a hyper-metabolic state. @shaniehh
