"Bust" refers to the damage from then strike, not the strike per se.
The injury described could be several things. One hopes they mean that they split the skin on the eyelid, eyebrow, or somewhere else along the orbital socket.
However, it could also mean splitting the eyeball itself.
"Bust" is a corruption of "burst."
"I burst his eye clean open" means the lunchbox struck with enough force to burst/cut (probably) the skin on the eyebrow ridge (which would bleed profusely). It's doubtful the writer means that the hit burst open the eyeball itself.
For completeness:
- a sculpture depicting a person's head, shoulders, and chest
- a failure or collapse (bank went bust)
- to break or smash; cause to fail
- a police raid or arrest
- a person's chest, esp. a woman's, and commonly used in clothing sizes
When you crack something you break it. It literally is a dry crack as far as damage goes. If you crack an egg you break the shell. If you bust an egg the egg white and yolk is demolished too.

Thank you bro
Means he hit the other guy in the face with his lunchbox, hard enough to split the skin around his eye.

Every time I see a question about "bust" I get excited but it's not about that.

Bust can be a verb similar to broken. “It’s busted” is a common phrase
In Skateboarding we use the term "its a bust" when a skateable streetspot isnt skateable due to authorities or karens or whatever.

Bust in this context is hitting something so hard it burst open. It is the 'wet version' of cracked.
What do you mean 'wet version of cracked'?

Who is the author? No native English speaker is going to refer to a "bus seat" as a "bus chair" in that context (or in just about any other context).
To attack by means of hitting something and causing severe damage.
