What happens if a person got an eye globe rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually bad things: It depends on the extent of the rupture and the force of the rupture. If there is a small opening from a sharp object, surgery might fix the eye. If the opening is larger, the blow greater or intraocular contents spill out, the prognosis is frequently grim. This is why the eye hides itself under a protective shelf of bone (the brow) which frequently absorbs much of the energy.
