I have tried several times, and I do not fall over. Still, to answer your question: I guess that your eyes register that you are standing straight, and as such you can keep your balance. When you close your eyes, the balance-organ in your ear is apparently not able to recognize a balance, and you fall. Also, I think that the muscles in your (one) leg aren't used to standing on their own. When you stand up, the muscles in your legs constantly make tiny adjustments to keep you standing. Normally, your legs would do that together, but now that one leg you're standing on has to keep balance all by itself. It's like the difference between riding a bicycle or a one-wheeler.

Why do your eyes cloud over for a few seconds when you stand up?

When you stand up quickly, gravity causes blood to pool in your legs, briefly reducing blood flow to your brain. This brief decrease in blood flow can result in a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. Your eyes may cloud over as a temporary response to this change in blood flow.


How do you make red eyes go away?

cold compresses with ice in a ziplock bag wrapped in a face towel. close your eyes and put the towel covered ice packs over your eyes. the cold constricts your blood vessels and causes your eyes to look less red. Cucumber slices over the eyes works well, too. There are also over-the-counter eyedrops (Visine is one brand) that help to constrict the blood vessels and make the eyes look less red.


Why dont you fall over when you close your eyes?

Our body has a complex system of balance controlled by the inner ear, eyes, and muscles. Even with our eyes closed, our inner ear still senses the position of our head and body, allowing us to maintain balance. Additionally, our brain uses information from previous sensory input to help us stay upright.
