Question:
I took a direct shot in the eye with a tennis ball
. It was a hard hit from the other player. I was wearing glasses, which are undamaged
, but the next day my eye still aches (on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 2)
. It feels like a bruise.
There is no redness and no vision loss.
Should I be concerned?
Answer:
If the eye has pain, it is safest to see a comprehensive ophthalmologist to rule out both internal injury and damage to the eye socket, both of which are common in this situation.
