Optic nerve avulsion?

Question

I was reading about the eye anatomy (pretty much feeding my fear) and I read that if some rotated the globe (eye) then it would tear the optic nerve. they made it seem that all you had to do was rotate it once and you're screwed. But to explain my fear about all this is lossing my eyes. I have intrusive thoughts about myself taking them out. is this even possible?

Answer 1

No, you really can not do that without causing other dammage first. IT is like deciding that you are goign to take out your own heart. People just do not walk into our office and say....I accidentally rotated my eye.....I mean really, think about it, you just can't do that to yourself or someone else!
