Should I See An Ophthalmologist, If I Have Pain And Bruise In Eye Due To Injury?
Hello. my dog hit me in the left eye with his (very) hard cranium last week. It seemed to be okay for several days but then I began experiencing pain (like a bruise) at the beginning of the week and now swelling below the eye. I've also started having some black "floaters" in that eye. Do I need to see an opthamologist? Thank you.

to rule out pathology of uvea, vitreous or retina.
