One eye sticks out

[Aberdeen43]

My 5 year old beardie appears to have one of her eyes sticking out further than the other. The socket and her eyelids are not sticking out, just the eye. It seems as if the clear lens on the outside of the eye is larger than the other one? Had it checked with a vet, and they don't know what it is without doing advanced imaging (8000$), but don't think it's a major health risk. Has anybody seen this before?

Hello,

That is interesting, I haven't seen anything like that in awhile.
Did he possibly have any type of eye injury or trauma in the past? Does it seem to affect
his vision any that you have noticed?

Tracie,

No, there has been no eye trauma. As far as I can tell, the vision is ok. No issues seeing food and chasing. And as I said, vet doesn't think it's a serious issue (as of now). I was doing research and came across the human condition Keratoconus, which kind of seems like what I'm seeing with Aberdeen
