Question Bulging eyes? normal or not?

Noticed Sprouts eyes are looking a bit more bulgy than normal today. What do you's think?



Am I just being paranoid?

that is odd! I know some dwarfies can be born with bulgier eyes than others but this seems to have just happened to Sprout. Thats why I'm asking for opinions because I know there can be health problems that are serious to do with eyes? Just not sure if this looks that bad or not?
Any help appreciated

WW do have quite prominent eyes, often as they age the skin gets a bit looser around the face which can make them look more prominent. It doesn't look like anything to worry about to me. Bulging eye problems (like Glaucoma, or tumours) don't tend to appear on both sides simultaneously.
