Is it possible for your eyeball to pop out of your head?!


Question: Is it possible for your eyeball to pop out of your head?
I was talking to this kid who has kind of big bug eyes, and he said he was laughing hard one time and his eyeball popped out of his head and fell on the floor, and he had to go to the hospital to have it put back in. Is that possible?

Answers:

Your eye ball can pop out , not onto floor has to be attached to a membrane of sort, my uncle had it happen to him when he was a young boy, they layed him down and drove to the hospital and all was well.PS it rested on his cheek very close to his eye socket he tells me .



Yes, but it didn't happen to your friend. It takes tremendous trama for it to occur. If it did, it wouldn't fall on the floor (the optic nerve would prevent it from going too far--if the optic nerve got severed, it would hit the floor, but it wouldn't be able to be put back in).



thats highly unlikely, your eyeball is quite large much larger then you would expect it to be, and the optic nerve would prevent it from falling on the floor this kid is lying
