A member asked:
Are orbital bones which are meant to protect eyes much more stronger than some other bones located across body? compared to bones in finger,elbow,neck
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not so strong: Orbital bones have a structure and location which provides good protection to the eyes. Many bones of the body are much stronger such as the femur and humerus. It is best not to get struck on the face if you can avoid it.
