Is this new, or has it been that way for a long time? Is the eye uncomfortable, red? does it hurt to look way up or down? any double vision? if you close the eye and gently push in on it does it hurt? does it feel the same as the other eye? Thyroid disease (think Marty Feldman in "Young Frankenstein"), inflammatory conditions of the orbit (space behind the eye), masses, tumors, swelling, all can make an eye proptotic (pushed out). If you think this is recent, SEE AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST (not an optician or optometrist- although some optometrists are pretty good at diagnoses, they are NOT medical doctors.

The best thing is to go to the doctor, because there are a lot of possibilities. It's probably not serious, but if the doctor can't find anything wrong, then you could need to have a cat scan and some various testing for your eyes. Best of luck to you!
