right eye dilated and protruding

[Dianna44]

It started 3 yrs ago. My right eye was dilated & protruding. Eye Dr. asked several times about head trama, no trama. Did all the test MRI. Cat scan, ect...nuthing, no answers. It is still doing the same thing but now the blood vessels are getting smaller in my eye. Family Dr. has put me on meds for high cholesterol, but doesnt thing one has anything to do with the dilating & protruding. I have other symptoms but not sure if they apply to this. I just want some answers.

If your vision and IOP are normal I would just get periodic exams by an ophthalmologist.

I don't think this low pitched hum is related and it is on the other side.

Thank you for your comment, I do not have that sound, but have had a low pitch hum or ring for years in my left ear, was told that was due to a hearing loss. Do you think it's something serious? I try not to think too much about it but it does distract my vision daily. To me it's like haveing a wort on you'r nose, you'r used to it but it's in line of vision.

A carotid cavernous sinus fistula can cause such a problem.  You would hear a sound in side your head like fluid or air moving.

You need a second opinion.
