Whoops!
Did you know some dude's eyeball fell out at a college basketball game last week?
Slate has an article about the phenomenon of losing an eye that I defy you to read without shuddering.
What should you do if your eyeball comes out of your head?
Get it put back in, and soon. The longer you remain in this rare condition—known as "globe luxation"—the more strain you'll put on the blood vessels and nerves that connect your eye to the rest of your head. Your luxated globes will also be susceptible to corneal abrasions or inflammation, and the feeling of your eyelids clamped down behind them won't be pleasant.
