Is her vision overly powerful? It gives me sort of double vision as well. Obviously the next thing people needed answered was, how? How is this possible? HOW do you make your eyes pop out?
If it were to fall out, it would hang by the optic nerve and dangle by your cheek. Your vision is messed up, your optical nerve is stretched, and the muscles around the eye are probably damaged. But is it painful? The answer to this is a resounding probably. The pressure from the eye pushing forward alone should give you a sort of ache, and the strain on the ball itself should be immense. More than that, the body responds to your eye coming out by shutting your eyelid as best it can, specifically activating the muscles and nerves behind the eye.
This clamping-down motion is likely to be incredibly painful. It should be noted, however, that some people report discomfort but no extreme pain. In other words, it's going to feel really weird and uncomfortable, but it probably won't hurt quite as much as you expected. When your eye is in its socket, your tear ducts keep it moisturized, and a damp eye is a happy eye.
When it pops out, however, you can't blink over it, and the eye loses contact with those helpful tears that keep it moisturized. Because of this, you're going to notice your eye drying out in a bit of a hurry.
This will also, with some assistance from the the straining nerves and muscles, make your eye appear bloodshot and red. Depending on how violently your eye was popped out, there may also be a large amount of damaged blood vessels, which will increase the notable veins and redness in your eye. If you've ever had dry, itchy, red eyes, just imagine that feeling multiplied by ten, and you might have some concept of what this feels like. It pretty much goes without saying that when your eye pops out, there's going to be panic.
You're going to freak out because your vision is weird and your eye feels uncomfortable and unnatural. Visually, your eye may droop or bulge, and others around you are going to pretty much flip out. But, believe it or not, that's probably a good thing. Because your vision is limited, you may not be able to call , and you certainly won't be able to drive yourself to a doctor.
Your panic, and the fact that it alerts others to your plight, can actually help you get the medical attention you need. Just remember to relax and remember one very important thing: it can be fixed. Despite the horrifying nature of this medical emergency, it's incredibly repairable. The vast majority of people who have their eye pop out can get it put back in gently by a medical professional.
Generally, it's a procedure so simple they just use a gloved hand, painkillers, and a little careful pressure. In extreme cases, they may use a Desmarres retractor, which sounds a lot scarier than it actually is.
Either way, go see a doctor right away, because the longer the eye is out of the socket, the more likely there could be permanent damage and the longer your recovery time will be. You should not attempt to put your eye back in on your own, however. The eye is a very delicate part of your body, and a medical professional should be the one who handles it. It may seem tempting to just pop it back in yourself, but you could get your eyelid caught in your socket , damage the nerves, or cause any number of other serious problems.
While most people pop an eye out as the result of injury, there's a whole other group of people who are susceptible to having their eyes pop out due to medical conditions. Graves Disease, a type of hyperthyroidism, makes your eyes bulge fairly regularly, and it can make them pop out with surprising regularity. It can also make you blink less, which is rough on the eyes moisture-wise, but this isn't the only medical condition that can make your eyes pop out. She looked up to catch her reflection in the mirror moments later, fearing her eyeball was hanging out of its socket.
The mum-of-two, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, has since had to have part of her eye removed after doctors discovered she perforated her cornea. Claire said she "looked like an extra from The Walking Dead" and has to wait until the socket heals so she can get a prosthetic. Her terrifying ordeal happened when she least expected it, while on holiday to Turkey with her husband Timothy, 52, in July. She said: "Tim and I were getting ready in the hotel room to go meet friends, and as it's really hot in Turkey, I had a shower to refresh myself.
Within hours, Claire was on a flight home back to the UK with a huge bandage over her poorly eye. Claire went straight to Royal Stoke University Hospital when she landed where doctors were shocked to see how infected her eye had become during the flight. Her right eye was fused shut with infection, forcing doctors to clamp her eyelids open to get a look at her eyeball which had turned completely yellow.
Claire spent the next nine days in hospital as doctors tried to fight the infection, but it was no use, and the suggestion of amputation was made. I was devastated, and I just couldn't understand how my life had come to this or where to go from here. She said: "I felt so isolated in the hospital, and when they suggested amputation, I was totally against the idea. Claire's surgery was a success, and she was allowed to return home just one day after her operation.
She had to keep the bandages on for another week after surgery, and it wasn't until eight days following the removal that Claire was able to look in the mirror.
