Exploding Eyeballs

How much can the human eyeball take perforate it perforates or explodes like a cantaloupe?  Let's find out.

Off the top of my head:  I have seen a medical examiner deflate an eyeball like a basketball for a tox screen and I know it doesn't take much to puncture an eyeball with a needle.  Let's see what it takes otherwise.

My research today: It is a very disappointing answer. It depends very much on the age, condition, and health of the eyeball. Basically is is up to individual physiology. Overall the answer is anywhere from one to three pounds. Conditions like kerataconas, or scleromalacia can weaken the surface of your eyeball making it much easier to puncture.

As far as a spontaneous rupture of an eyeball occurring without any trauma I can only find one case from 1937 secondary to glaucoma following thrombosis of the central vein. Thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein. I am not sure this is a real thing, this spontaneous rupture of an eyeball, but I dunno.

Anyways, wanna see a gross eyeball?

Too bad, you're gonna see it anyways.

I thought that would be more interesting. Sorry.
