Question

When you roll your eyes up like the undertaker, can your eyes get permanently stuck in that position?

Answer 1

Only if there is a full moon, and you get caught  in a sudden very cold north wind while doing it...in Florida.

Ok, silly answer...but the question can't be serious either.

OF course not !

Answer 2

not at all....my friend does that all the time:)

Answer 3

When you close your eyes, they rotate upwards and slightly outwards. This is to protect the cornea from exposure. Bell's phenomena. How they'd get stuck? not sure they 'could' get stuck as each eye is in it's own orbit or socket. There are a number of old sayings like this including the don't cross your eyes because you can get stuck like that.

In accomodative spasm, they can get 'stuck' for a short while till the spasm relaxes, but that's fairly uncommon.
