What is another word for exophthalmos?
Pronunciation: [ɛɡzəfθˈalmə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
Exophthalmos refers to bulging of the eyes from their sockets. This condition is common in hyperthyroidism. However, there are several synonyms for this medical term. In medical terms, it can also be referred to as proptosis, pop-eye, or exorbitism. These synonyms refer to the same condition but may be used depending on the context of communication. Proptosis is one of the most commonly used synonyms and comes from the Greek term propto, which means "leaning forward." Pop-eye, on the other hand, describes the shape of the bulging eyeball. Exorbitism is a Latin-derived term, which means "out of orbit," which symbolizes the protrusion of the eye.
