Should I Be Worried Of The Swelling In Eye After Hitting With Ice?
about 8 hours ago, a piece of ice fell from the roof of our home and hit me on the left side of my forehead. It caused a bit of swelling and I have felt fine. However, my left eye now feels sore when I move it to the left or right. Should I be concerned?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of eye after injury to the forehead. This is because of collection of blood in the layers of eye kid as a result of injury. This will subside over 3 -4 weeks. Application of cold compression will provide rapid symptomatic relief.
However you require examination to rule out any other eye injury.
Thank you
