Pressing eye.

2020-10-20 12:29:18
I was randomly exploring eyes out of curiosity and tried pressing on the eye. I have noticed that when you press on the eyeball as if pushing it inside with a finger or knuckle, the eye hurts for 3-4 days with some vision disturbance. My questions are as follows:- 1. Putting pressure on eye raises intraocular pressure. This pressure lasts for how long? Few minutes or for more than day. 2. The pain in the eye by pressing, is this pain a result of eye muscles becoming sore due to the force of finger pushing in? What is the source of this pain.

Hi.. Dont know the answers as no one has felt the need to conduct such experiments. Be careful,  eyes are sensitive...such random exploration can land you in trouble. Hopefully pain will go away in some time !
