In summary, an eyeball can pop out due to trauma, coughing or sneezing, or certain medical conditions. It is possible for it to be put back in, but it should be done by a medical professional right away. If this happens, seek immediate medical attention and do not try to put it back in yourself. Wearing protective eyewear and addressing any underlying medical conditions can help prevent this from happening. Potential complications include damage to the eye and surrounding tissues, loss of vision, and infection, and in severe cases, permanent vision loss or loss of the eye.
