My fiance says the eye has no feeling, that only the eyelid has feeling. And that pressure can be felt because of the nerves behind the eye, but the eye itself has no feeling. I don't believe it. Is there a website that discuses this?

I did poke him in the eye. And I asked if he was ok. He said yes. I said your eye doesn't hurt and thats when proceded to tell me that the eye has no feeling! Maybe he has eyes of steel. lol

Your cornea (the front of your eyeball) is said to be hundreds of times more sensitive than your teeth - so I would say yes, it does have feeling. The ciliary body is another part of the eye that can be painful (it's inside the eye) and it is believed that spasms of this are the cause of pain behind some eye infections.
Also, your eye can feel cold but not heat.
In short, your fiance must have never seen anyone that had an eye injury - they sometimes are in so much pain that they get sick to their stomach

According to Healh.allRefer :
Pain in the eye (that is not due to injury) may be described as a burning, throbbing, aching, or stabbing sensation in or around the eye. It may also be characterized as a foreign-body sensation.
Other websites indicates that injury to the eyes causes severe pain.
However according to Nurse (website) the external muscles that move the eyes are the strongest muscles in the human body for the job that they have to do. They are 100 times more powerful than they need to be and can process 36,000 bits of information every hour.

I don't know of any webs sites right off about this ...but I can tell you from experience ..yes, the eyeball itself does have nerves and sensations that goes with having the nerves...I was in a car wreck many years ago...and hit the windshield ..I had a piece of glass stuck in my eyeball..not the lid...or the socket area around it but the ball itself...and it did hurt............I knew my eye hurt long before I got to the ER....I didn't know exactly what was causing the pain...yes, pain....I found out when they removed it and showed it to me..and told me how lucky I was that it didn't hit in another area..or I might have been blinded in that eye............

the eye has lots of nerve endings all over different parts of the eye. If you scratch your cornea you will definitely feel that. Even your iris has pain receptors that can cause pain especially if you have iritis

Uh, hello! Of course your eye has feeling...ask anyone who wears contact lenses. My friend actually burned her cornea with a curling iron, and, yes, it hurt!

well it depends.. if youre a girl, then it deals with the mammary glands. which would explain why you might mass produce saliva or your eyes get watery. if youre a guy, then youre just pretty stupid.

Poke her in the eye, and see what she says then.
