An eye injury may occur at the same time as a facial injury.
Symptoms that mean an eye injury may be more serious and require medical
attention include:
An eye that does not move normally in all
directions.
Double or blurred vision that is not cleared by
blinking.
Pain in the eyeball itself or in or around the eye when a
person moves the eye or blinks.
Sudden loss of
vision.
Blood in the white or colored part (iris) of your
eye.
Swelling of the eyeball.
