Little was known about what happens to the globe when it is rubbed..
Performed an MRI on a healthy volunteer and ask him to rub his eyes…
The results are striking, the cornea distorts and the globe steps back into the eye socket.

Reports of Glaucoma, Hyphaema, Lens Subluxation, retinal detachments have been published.
