1676 J. Cooke Mellificium Chirurg. (ed. 3) 713 Staphyloma... In its progress it receives several Names, as when the Uvea sticks out above the Cornea: 'tis called Proptosis.

1710 tr. P. Dionis Course Chirurg. Operations 301 The third is the Proptosis... This Term, which is convertible to all Parts of the Body which are started out of their Place, is here particularly applied to the Eye when it pushes or jets out, or proceeds beyond its Orbit, by reason of the Relaxation or Rupture of the Cornea.

1730 Dr. Allen's Synopsis Medicinæ II. x. 22 Proptosis, or Staphyloma, is a real Rupture of the Eye, and ought to be called by that name, for the Tunica Cornea being broke by any Accident, the Uvea thrusts itself forwards, making a Tumour or Rupture.

1782 E. Ford in Med. Communications 1 95 [She] was brought to me..with a Proptosis of the left eye.

1876 Trans. Clin. Soc. 9 17 During the examination one of the eyes got dislocated forwards, and had to be replaced... The proptosis is probably accounted for by shallowness of the orbits.

1918 J. H. Parsons Dis. Eye (ed. 3) xxxiii. 620 Bilateral proptosis occurs in exophthalmic goître.

1955 R. Macintosh & M. Ostlere Local Analgesia Head & Neck vii. 4 The resulting haematoma is behind the palpebral fascia and causes proptosis.

1997 Amer. Jrnl. Ophthalmol. 124 570 These findings suggest that ocular hypertension in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy is caused, in part, by increased intraorbital pressure associated with proptosis.
