i was sitting on a bus speaking with a friend of mine about teenagers getting hurt doing dumb things. she proceeded to explain that it is possible to become blind from getting hit in a certain part of the back of the head extremely hard. is this true? and exactly how hard? like falling off the top bunk hard or being thrown down a big flight of stairs and landing badly hard?

detached retina, busted nerve, seem improbable but not impossible

As above.

Although you're more likely to break other things in the process of detaching your retinas; note the material between the back of head and eyes.

I gave you a term so that you could look it up. I'd hate to rob you of the pleasure of finding things out on your own.

My optometrist told me this was a risk because I have a very severe astigmatism and my eyeballs are pretty deformed. Not sure what the risk is for people with normal eyes however.
