    This article discusses ocular injuries caused by durian fruit. Durian is known to cause injuries when it falls from trees due to its large size and spiked outer covering. The article analyzes cases of eye injuries from durian reported in the international journal of ophthalmology between 2012-2014. It finds that most injuries were superficial or involved the conjunctiva but some cases resulted in serious damage including corneal lacerations or rupture requiring surgery. The spiked husk of the durian fruit makes it capable of penetrating the eye and causing internal damage if safety precautions are not followed when harvesting or transporting durian.
