Michael Garin O.D. Proptosis, or exophthalmos, is the bulging out of one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). Cases of proptosis develop for reasons ranging from variations in our anatomy to the development of another condition such as hyperthyroidism, of which bulging eyes are a symptom. If a person suddenly develops exophthalmos, especially in both eyes, it is considered a very serious problem. Sudden onsets of proptosis should always be evaluated by an eye doctor immediately. In mild cases of proptosis, a doctor can take measurements with a special ruler known as an exophthalmometer. If measurements are within a certain range, more testing is unnecessary.
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which fat provides most of the fuel for the body. It occurs when there is limited access to glucose (blood sugar), which is the preferred fuel source for many cells in the body. Ketosis is most often associated with ketogenic and very low-carb diets. It also happens during pregnancy, infancy, fasting and starvation (3, 4, 5, 6). To go into ketosis, people generally need to eat fewer than 50 grams of carbs per day and sometimes as little as 20 grams per day.
