If your eyball came out of it's socket, how is it attached and how long is the atached veins, muscles etc?

Answer 1

Watch the yokey eye moment in Hostel!

Yuck!

Answer 2

Your eye is attached with the optic nerve. Just from what I've seen on TV, it is about 2-3 inches and it attached to the back of the eyeball like a "spider web" and if it were knocked out of the socket, still attached, it would hang down about 2 inches, maybe hitting your cheekbone.

If you don't sever the nerve, you probably save the eye. You would have to try to put the eyeball back into the socket, and keep it cool and wet while someone calls 911 and gets you to an emergency room fast.

Answer 3

Each eye is held in very securely by 6 muscles and the optical nerve. You can't take it out of it's socket without causing severe damage.

Answer 4

Umm... Didnt you learn the parts of the eye in science?? I'll tell you. The eye is connected to your eyesocket by the optic nerve. The optic nerve is connected to the retina and the retina sends impulses to the optic nerve and the optic nerve sends visual impulses up to your brain. This is what I looked up: Theoptic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 25 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal and 16 mm in the cranial space. I hoped this helped you!!

Answer 5

length differs, but, the optical nerves, the musclular tendons, would let it lie on your cheek. Carefully reinserted, you would recover.

My father was the Air Force photographer at Wright Patterson AFB during the sled runs of a man to prepare for out space launches.

Decelleration of the sled on rails, rocket powered, when it hit the water, caused his eyeballs to fly out, and lay on his cheeks.

No harm, recovered after a couple days. Docs put them back so he could 'steer' them. Didn't want to always be looking down, very bad in the Space programs...

Answer 6

it would sit on your cheek held in there by the optic nerve, you could then wiggle it around and see from weird angles, just dont break the string that attaches it.
