What would happen to your eyes if you stop blinking for a long time?

Question

would they just dry out?

Answer 1

If they stayed open for too long your eyes would eventually lose enough moisture to cause scarring and permanent damage to the cornea.

Answer 2

they would dry out...

Answer 3

Well -this is sort of a silly answer, but the truth- it is impossible! But, if if did happen, i'd say your eyes would dry out, and or you would get lots of dust in your eyes!

Answer 4

They would be dry and dusty, and if you sneezed they would pop out.  Also you wouldn't be able to sleep unless you can sleep with your eyes open.

Answer 5

They would really dry out, and your eyes would be very easy to damage.  For example, you could get a piece of dirt in there and instead of being washed out by your tears, it would stay in your eye and scratch the surface. Ouch.
