Question: How do some people "pop" out their eye/s?

Keywords: ,

  1. Eww!!!! Really? I watched one of my son’s classmates blow bubbles out of their eyes one day by holding their nose and blowing hard. I’ve never seen anyone pop their eyes out. I think I’m happy to keep never seeing that. Which is why I am NOT going to Google it right now!!!!

  2. Cool question… I’m not too sure, but I know that pug dogs have a tendency for their eyeballs to pop out and it’s called proptosis (But you say pro-tosis because the p is silent!).

    I know there’s a story about sneezing with your eyes open and your eyeballs falling out, but I think it’s a myth 🙂

  3. Hehe nice question, i’ve heard of the phenomenon and saw it on guinness world records but didn’t know until now that its called eye proptosis (a type of eye dislocation). It happens often in dogs, and some humans have the ability to push their eyelids open far enough that the eyeballs “pop out”. It can be caused by an accident to the eye muscles or can inherited. As a non expert I’d recommend talking with an eye specialist -optometrist or ophthalmologist, they could give you a more in depth answer. Pretty quirky party trick!

  4. Good question. I’ve seen it on TV, which is where i’m guessing your question comes from.
    Like Melina said, it’s not that easy for someone to do. In fact, it’s probably a (eye) muscle weakness or something similar that allows them to do that.
    Good example is that some people have very stretchy skin, whereas you and i don’t.
