It can make more of the eye\u2019s surface visible than usual, sometimes giving a \u201cstaring\u201d appearance. Clinicians use the term as a clinical finding during eye exams and as a diagnosis that can affect comfort and vision. It is commonly discussed in thyroid eye disease, facial nerve problems, and after eyelid or orbital surgery."}
