does the orbital cavity hold the eyes
An orbital blowout fracture is a fracture or break in the small bones that make up your eye. The orbit, or eye socket, is the cavity of the skull that holds the eye. An orbital blowout can occur when an object strikes the orbit with blunt force. This injury is commonly the result of a fist, baseball or tennis ball that strikes the eye. The bony orbit's job is to protect the eyeball.
