Globe luxation may occur spontaneously because of an underlying condition or due to head- or eye-related trauma. If your eye pops out of its socket, it is considered a medical emergency and should be treated by an eye doctor immediately.
Some systemic health conditions, such as floppy eyelid syndrome and thyroid eye disease, can also increase the risk of globe luxation. This rare condition can happen spontaneously or occur due to head or eye trauma. Globe luxation is the medical term for when an eyeball protrudes or 'pops' out of the eye socket.
