Meaning of "eyes rolled back"
English Language & Usage Asked on July 29, 2021
I am having a bit of difficulty with this sentence:
"The monster’s eyes were rolled back in his face"
Does this mean that the monster’s eyes are set back deep in his face (like a sunken eye socket), rolled upwards, or does it have a different meaning?
One Answer
This would be more definite with a description of what the monster actually was.
It probably means exactly what it says: the monster's eyes were rolled back, that is, upwards so far that the irises could no longer be seen.
