Can you get a big bite on your eyeball? How would the eyeball respond?

  I don’t know about bug bites, but I managed to papercut my eyeball when I was young and careless

      Eyeball papercut sounds like an industrial thrash metal band.

      Hey, at least it puts me in rarified company. There can’t be too many people that have managed this trick :)

      Bad news: you can’t unread things. Good news: with just one crisp piece of paper and two quick motions, you can prevent yourself from reading unpleasant things, possibly forever!

    That sounds awful. How was the pain level?

    I scratched my eye once with my fingernail when I was about 12 or 13. It just felt like I had something in my eye constantly for a week.

      That’s exactly what it was like, but throw in some bonus crusty eye gunk

      Thank of it this way, if you do manage it, it’s a hyper rare achievement, so you’ll get the cool border on your epitaph

  An optometry student I know says they’re unaware of this occurring, as the eyelid will generally catch the bite. If you did get a bug bite on your eyeball, first thing might be cold compress and antihistamines for the swelling and irritation.

    Thank you. I don’t have any eye irtitation/bug bite. The question just came to me when 'squitoes were being a nuisance.

  When I was in middle school, a girl did in fact get a bug bite on her eyeball. It was blood red for a week and she couldn’t see well, but long term she was fine.

  You forgotten how that old joke goes? ;-)

    Oooh! I didn’t realize there was an old. Please enlighten me.

      Man in a bar etc.

      Bets he can bite his own eyeball. Folks laughing …

      Takes out his glass eye and bites. Wins bet.

      The he bets he can bite his other eyeball too. Oops? Surely he can’t have two glass eyes?

      Takes out his fake teeth…

  Most likely the eye wouldn’t work anymore, or work too well as all the light gets in. What I do know is that impact and even injury to the eye can have drastic effects on both the way the eye works and how your body responds. My dad got hit with a screw in the eye and he still has it, but got bleeding behind the eye and nearly lost it.
