Do YOU know what to do if your eye falls out?
What should you do if your eyeball comes out of your head?
Get it put back in, and soon. The longer you remain in this rare condition—known as "globe luxation"—the more strain you'll put on the blood vessels and nerves that connect your eye to the rest of your head. Your luxated globes will also be susceptible to corneal abrasions or inflammation, and the feeling of your eyelids clamped down behind them won't be pleasant.
You should be able to get your eye back in place without serious, long-term damage. The treatment is pretty simple: Doctors apply some topical painkillers, hold back your lashes, and poke your eyeball into its socket by pressing on the white part with gloved fingers. (In some cases, they'll use a simple tool like a bent paperclip to shoehorn it back into place.)
You can also trigger luxation while putting in your contact lenses, or with a particularly violent sneeze. You might even pop your eyeballs by trying to exhale while keeping your nose and mouth closed.

Eye hope this does not happen often!!! But I'll keep an eye open for it.

I don't know how you would pop your eye out while putting in a contact unless you some how slip your finger behind your eye or something. But I don't know about having globe luxation from a sneeze. Your body instinctively closes your eyes very tight during a sneeze. Just try to keep them open when you sneeze. The chances of keeping them open without holding your eyelids in place are extremely slim.

Actually, as odd as this sounds , there is an actual condition in which your eye can pop out of it's socket. I suggest seeing an eye doctor as soon as possible for a resolution.

Well, I never heard of that happening before. But, If that happens I would go see the doctor about it. I heard of them sinking in the head. But, Not falling out. They wouldn't be just poopping out of your head unless you had a accident before and the eye popped out.

when I was little I had eye surgery where the eyeball was taken out (my left eye) the question is what would you do if your eye falls out ( I already had it done )

I don't think I believe you. Know how many fine, sinuous muscles hold the eye in place?

so you've done this yourself often?
i personally prefer to keep my eyeballs firmly in their sockets - they work much better that way.
