goggle-eyed

Eyes bulging out

Goggle-eyed describes eyes that are wide open, bulging, or staring—typically from astonishment, fear, or intense focus.

The image suggests eyes so prominent they resemble goggles: The children sat goggle-eyed in front of the television.

Someone goggle-eyed with shock or wonder appears almost comically wide-eyed.
