    I don’t know about bug bites, but I managed to papercut my eyeball when I was young and careless

    An optometry student I know says they’re unaware of this occurring, as the eyelid will generally catch the bite. If you did get a bug bite on your eyeball, first thing might be cold compress and antihistamines for the swelling and irritation.

      Thank you. I don’t have any eye irtitation/bug bite. The question just came to me when 'squitoes were being a nuisance.

    When I was in middle school, a girl did in fact get a bug bite on her eyeball. It was blood red for a week and she couldn’t see well, but long term she was fine.

        Man in a bar etc.

        Bets he can bite his own eyeball. Folks laughing …

        Takes out his glass eye and bites. Wins bet.

        The he bets he can bite his other eyeball too. Oops? Surely he can’t have two glass eyes?

        Takes out his fake teeth…

    Most likely the eye wouldn’t work anymore, or work too well as all the light gets in. What I do know is that impact and even injury to the eye can have drastic effects on both the way the eye works and how your body responds. My dad got hit with a screw in the eye and he still has it, but got bleeding behind the eye and nearly lost it.
