switching of the eyes

My husbands eye will feel like it is bulging out and with in a matter of seconds it will switch to the other eye. You can physically feel them switch if you put your hands on his eyes and feel it when he says to. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen to them as a result of a head injury.

" Sorry I have not herd of such a condition. Is it painful at any time during these bulging episodes? For my eyes, there is severe pain that is disabling at times. And at times they have felt swollen, but not noticeable. When he is having the bulging does it affect anything else. The reason I ask is that I set real bitchy and I don’t even like me during these times.
Cheers "

" NO it doesnt hurt but it affects his eye sight sometimes he gets double vision. He never has the sharp pain in his eyes he just feels them moving back and forth. He does have all of the other symptoms (migraines,fluid leakage from his eyes, double vision, short fuse, balance problems, falls asleep real easy, sleeps sometimes 20 hours out of a day, seizures
and of course the eye problem) "

" Ive never herd of it either ?
dont sound good, what medication is he taking ? maybe his having a reaction to something?
get him to a Neurologist and i think an MRI or CT scan might be a good start.
thats sad, i hope he gets through it ok and finds out whats causing it .
best of luch ,

" hmm thats not good . its bad enough to have a brain injury but when they cant see why such a problem is still present would make it so much harder and frustrating.
I guess rest and time is about all that can be done for now. an eye specialist maybe?
the brain is a very slow healer.
best of luck.
