Can you get a paper cut on an eyeball?

Answer by  Vleblanc (9)

Just like anywhere else on your body getting a paper cut on your eye is possible. I have searched the internet to see if this is common and it is. While personally it hasn't happened to me it seems like when wiping your eye with paper towel is the mostly way for it to happen.

Yes, and it could be very painful and take a long time to heal. You may need to seek a physician for antibiotic eye drops to avoid infection.

The eye ball isn't covered in skin like the rest of our body, so no, not in a traditional sense.

Yes you can get a paper cut on the eyeball. This is a very serious place to get a cut, because if it thick enough you can lose your eye.
