Could Wound On Temple Cause Problem With Eyes?
My 18 month old was running, fell and hit my platform bed on the one inch corner that sticks out right in the temple. Immediately left an indent in the temple, now its puffy there, she is playing now. After she stopped crying she was blinking her eyes and rubbing them.

Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
Sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident. Good thing is that your child is active and the trauma is not a major one. It could have been lot worse. Although from your description it doesn't seem like the trauma can cause any problems to vision. But, any trauma in and around eye, especially in a small child should be very careful about. If you have any doubt, its better to consult an eye specialist because we need to look inside if any internal trauma has been caused. Wish your child a good health. Take care.
