What Causes Eye Rolling or Uncontrolled Eye Movement? Eye rolling or uncontrolled eye movement, or nystagmus, is usually caused by an abnormal function in the part of the inner ear (the labyrinth) or brain that regulates eye movement. The labyrinth helps you sense position and movement.

When you die, your muscles cease to function. It would involve contraction and release of different muscles for your eyes to roll back. Rigor mortis (Latin: rigor “stiffness”, mortis “of death”) is the stiffening of the muscles after death. People think this can cause a body to move after the person has died.

The eye roll can be a way to communicate in a disagreement with what is being said, be a display of dislike for how something is being said or may simply be a way to vent frustration or exasperation.

While eye-rolling has a reputation of being a catty or gossipy gesture — a reputation mostly earned for it being deemed feminine — exchanging a glance, an eye-roll or a side-eye can be a comfort for women looking for some solidarity.

Strange as it may sound, rolling your eyes at someone in disbelief or annoyance is actually a relatively new thing – so new that even your grandparents might not understand it. That’s because until just 50 or 60 years ago, eye-rolling was more commonly used as a form of flirting!

Rolling your eyes is a sarcastic, nonverbal gesture, but it never clearly states the person’s disagreement and, therefore, the partner doesn’t know how to respond. Eye rollers mean this when they roll: They disagree with who is talking. They don’t like how the person talking is saying something.

Fainting and experiencing extreme pleasure activates similar pathways, as the body starts to ignore or shut down certain parts of the body to focus on pleasurable sensation. Your eye muscles lose tension (since you don’t need your eyes to orgasm), so your eye naturally rolls back.

Encourage anger

1. Notice your urge to defend, reprimand, or shut off from someone for eye-rolling. Exhale your stress and recall feelings of respect and care for the person as best you can.
2. Even if it takes prompting, encourage eye-rollers to vent. Venting is a way to release frustration.

Often a person will look away during a conversation to enhance the clarity of thought because looking at someone’s face while talking to them can be distracting. Extended blinking or eyelid fluttering is an attempt by a person’s subconscious to covertly block something from sight.

Generally speaking, closing your eyes while speaking is a way of going inside and connecting with your feelings, whether they are physical things or emotional. If you record the word which someone says in that precise moment when their eyes close, this can also give you clues.

Like touch, eye contact triggers the release of oxytocin. When someone is attracted to you, they subconsciously will try engaging in lots of mutual eye contact. They do this to feel closer to you, and because they are interested in you and what you are saying.

A tendency to avoid eye contact is an early indicator of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and difficulties with eye contact often persist throughout the lifespan. Eye contact difficulties may underlie social cognitive deficits in ASD, and can create significant social and occupational barriers.
