If anyone watches the tv show House, can pressure really pop out an eyeball?

You are freaking me out! I didn't see that particular episode, but the show IS usually medically accurate, so I assume that this can really happen.\nHowever, it is probably extremely rare.

I've seen "things" out of the corner of my eye.  Once I was sitting alone in a hospital room (I wasn't the patient, so I wasn't on anything) and someone whispered my name in my ear.  It was very distinct, felt the breath on the exhale, in my left ear.  It was surprising since I was alone watching the Simpsons, but not scary.\nMy brother lived in a haunted house.  If anyone said he was lying when he told them (he was very proud of it), the TV would turn on and flip through all the channels faster than you could on a remote and then shut off.

no. your eye gets damaged from continued exposure to the contact lens.

i do it all the time!  \n\nthe people who think it's impossible are uniformed. \n\nclosing your eyes is the natural involuntary response, but when i was young i realised that i could voluntarily keep my eyes open. \n\nIt is possible, and i have had no ill effects from doing it.  I think it is a fun way to impress my friends.  They all think I'm weird, and i like it like that!

i think that pressure is well thought out but a kindergarten student i doubt it i think it is NO cause the real riddle is can you guess what it is and most kindergarden kids would say no

I think so. And I don't know about Jack, but I have post traumatic stress just watching the show. Sometimes i have to get hp and walk around to relieve the stress. It is one of the best show around now.

If you did manage to sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes would pop out of your head.   Er, no. As discussed above, some people do manage to sneeze with their eyes open, and they don't go blind from it. Eye sockets are made of bone, they aren't connected to the nasal passages, and there are no muscles behind the eyes that contract when you sneeze, so there's really no mechanism involved in a sneeze that could force your eyes out of their sockets. Even if there were, human eyelids aren't particularly strong, so simply closing your eyes during a sneeze wouldn't be sufficient to keep them in their sockets if a sneeze truly had enough power to dislodge them. (In any case, some people — due to circumstances such as birth defects or injury — do not have eyelids. Were the "eye-popping" rumor true, all of those people would have to spend their lives in constant mortal fear of sneezing.)

Actually it's not good for you as excessive rubbing with too much pressure can cause your eyeball to change it's shape resulting in vision problems (even just a slight change in the shape can cause this).  Why do some people's brains make drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes feel good?  Not real sure there is an answer for that.  My guess, because we as human beings naturally tend to like things that aren't all that good for us.  Especially when we know it isn't good for us.  LOL.  Or it could be that rubbing them causes your eyes to produce more tears thus clearing debris (bacteria, dirt, etc) that is irritating the eye out of the eye.  Just a guess.\nOh and your eyes have a natural defense against most bacteria/fungi that would get into your eyes (tears, which are used to flush these things as well as others from your eyes.  If I"m not mistaken your tears are slightly acidic which kills a lot of organisms that would get into your eyes.  I might be wrong on that though, they might be slightly basic.  Whatever, the pH level of your tears has something to do with it)  That said, it is a good idea to wash your hands before touching your eyes or any other part of your face.

It's not so much that they're atached, but that the force of the pressure generated by blowing one's nose makes fluid escape the eyes.It's normal.

Short answer: yes\n\nRational:\n\nI seem to remember either a Superman episode or a Smallville where Clark Kent had his eye closed and was able to see what  was going on.

I think they should let you play, I play raquet ball and wear special goggles, that are hollow in the center but hard plastic around the eye.  Check it out in your local sporting goods store. Maybe they will let you play with them.  You can take a ball straight to the eye and still not get hurt.

I love that show!! I am Australian so I an especially chuffed that there is an Aussie actor on there. I only found out today that Jesse Spencer (Chase) is going out with Jennifer Morrison (Cameron)! I almost fell off my chair!! I can't get enough of House. In Australia we are up to the tension between House and Stacy Warner. They have just been stranded at the airport and next week it's about whether she wants to leave her husband. You probably saw that eposide ages ago, but I can't wait to find out what happens!!!

yes I get eye strain sometimes

Your eyes will NOT pop out!  It is simply a protective reflex.  There is so much going on: abdominal contraction, sharp burst of air from the lungs, lunging movement that the body closes the eyes automatically to protect them.

Yes the bigger the eye ball the wider the iris

Due to the pressure in your cranium your eyes would be pressurized slightly. There would be a slight bulging of your eyes from your head which is actually what happens normally when you sneeze, however your eyes would stay in just as they normally do. The closing of your eyes is just to maintain some extra support to keep the muscles and nerves which hold your eyes in from having to do as much work.\n\nWithout the eyelid, the many eye muscles and optical nerve would do a fine job keeping the eyes in.\n\nIf you've seen Ripley's or Guinness Book of World Records, and you've seen the people that push their eyes out of their heads really far, you'd realize that you dont have to worry because your eyes can handle a lot.

yes, its called a sty. put warm compresses on it until it comes out on its own. dont pop it, it'll cause an eye infection.
