-===Palpation===
-Placing pressure through the eyelids can help determine the location and contents of the globes.
-===Oral Examination===
-In the presence of '''exopthalmos''', pain on opening the mouth indicates an '''inflammatory''' process, whilst no pain indicates a '''neoplastic''' process. Where possible the soft tissue caudal to the rear upper molar should be palpated.
-===Ultrasound===
-Useful for evaluating soft tissue masses
-===MRI/CT===
-Useful for localising lesions, surgical planning and FNA/biopsies where appropriate.
