HI
Thanks for posting your query .

Dizziness can happen due to multiple causes . From simple causes like generalized weakness , Low or High BP, Less of Hemoglobin , Low Sugars to serious causes like heart problem brain problem .

But in your mothers case she had a trauma to her eye and possibly head also . Due to her age there is a chance of bleeding inside the skull or a concussion injury to brain or bleeding behind the eye also . The possibility of spread of cancer to brain is possible but I would consider it next to above mentioned causes .

I advise you get a MRI Brain for her which will let us know if there is any problem inside her skull . Kindly let me know what does her MRI report comes .
I find this answer helpful
