Eyeballs.............can you touch yours?

[Big Twigge]

I know many people can't touch their eyeballs because of a squeamish eyeball thing...
Can you touch yours?

-No liability for injuries that occur whilst trying to touch eyeballs, please touch with care and clean fingers!-

 

[neiltwist]

I can, having contacts for a while made sure of that!

 

[brasscrest]

Yes, but it makes me feel a bit squicky. :cry:

Wore contacts for a while, so I had to learn how, but quit wearing them because I couldn't stand poking myself in the eyes every day.

 

[Naomi McFadyen]

...how random...


Yes, I can... but whether I will is another matter

;-)

 

[lynchie]

yup, do it all the time, just for fun mainly! although I once had a conversation where we once decided that the worst torture ever would be to be strapped into a chair, head held bolt upright, and eyes forced open, and then have a needle moved very slowly toward one of your eyes from about 2 metres away... mwahahahahaha! :twisted:

 

[littlemisshorns]

I do it everytime I wear my contacts! Doesn't bother me anymore.

 

[Well Worth It]

Contacts.

 

[Jo Elson]

Yep, but not if I am looking in a mirror.

 

[rutty]

At least this isn't true:

Twas my contacts that inspired this thread.......The worst is when you've had a few and spend 15 mins trying to take out a lense only to realise that you took it out first attempt :roll:

 

[Keppler]

Random Twigge strikes again.

Methinks anyone with lovely contact lenses has to overcome any squeamishness... specially when the bloody things stick and one has to scoop them out...

 

[Seedhouse]

I can't touch them, but can shake them on their own rapidly from side to side- weird! :? :lol:

 

[2nd man down]

Yeah, no problem, look, see...OUCH!!!

 

[Big Fella]

Yep, not a problem. Worn contacts on & off for 20 years..

Just remember to was your hands before attempting, especially after haing a mexican meal out with friends, very bad experience.....

 

[flugelgal]

I don't need my vision corrected but have no problem touching my eyeballs. I do, however, know many people who do (and I think it's weird, sorry!).

 

[six pints]

ugh, i have the worst phobia of eyes! there's only one person in the world i can make eye contact with, and thats only cos i really really really trust them. eyes are totally totally minging ugh. how can anyone touch them, even look at them gross!!!! they're all jelly like and minging. i couldnt even stay in my biology lesson about tear production. right, im going to be sick now eyes blargh!!

 

[Maestro]

No problem...especially when one of my contacts splits in my eye :evil: :evil:

 

[lynchie]

a few times I've had to complete concerts with contact lens in hand, playing by looking through one eye... I think seeing the guy on the edge of the stage sticking his finger in his eye might be a bit much for the older members of the audience...

Wasn't that featured in the film Under Seige 2?

Steven Segal makes Arnold Schwarzeneggar look like an Oscar winning actor!

I have contacts. Eyeball touching no problem for me. Needs to be especially when taking them out after having had a few beverages!

Ommetaphobia - for those of you sad enough to be curious (like me)
