Ab Heers and Sennert mention instances in which after replacement the sight was uninjured.
Tyler relates the case of a man who, after arising in the morning, blew his nose violently, and to his horror his left eye extruded from the orbit.

With the assistance of his wife it was immediately replaced and a bandage placed over it.

When Tyler saw him the upper lid was slightly swollen and discolored, but there was no hemorrhage.
Hutchinson describes extrusion of the eyeball from the orbit caused by a thrust with a stick.

There was paraphymotic strangulation of the globe, entirely preventing replacement and necessitating excision.
Reyssie speaks of a patient who, during a fire, was struck in the right eye by a stream of water from a hose, violently thrusting the eye backward.

Contracting under the double influence of shock and cold, the surrounding tissues forced the eyeball from the orbit, and an hour later Reyssie saw the patient with the eye hanging by the optic nerve and muscles.
