This varies depending on the health and age of the eyeball.
Eyes with degenerative conditions, such as keratoconus, or scleromalacia perforans can be 'popped' all too easily.
Pressure against the eye is never a good thing, and sustained or repeated pressure should be avoided, even if far below the level at which rupture is possible.
Impact from a squash ball has the potential to tear parts of the eyeball, and to dislodge other parts.

MaxineThe eyeball is a strong structure, protected by the eye socket and surrounding tissues. It would require extremely high levels of pressure, way beyond what is physically possible, to pop an eyeball. Any damage to the eye would typically result from trauma or injury rather than pressure alone.

Can you pop your ears to relieve pressure during a flight"?
Yes, you can pop your ears to relieve pressure during a flight by swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum. This helps equalize the pressure in your ears with the pressure in the airplane cabin.
Why is it that one ear will not pop when flying or experiencing changes in air pressure?
When flying or experiencing changes in air pressure, one ear may not pop because the Eustachian tube in that ear is not able to equalize the pressure effectively.
Why do ears pop?
Ears pop due to changes in air pressure. When the pressure inside and outside the ear is not balanced, such as during changes in altitude or while driving up a mountain, the eustachian tube helps equalize the pressure by allowing air to flow in and out of the middle ear, causing the popping sensation.
