Suggest Remedy For Double Vision And Pain In Eye After Getting Punched

Hi, I was recently punched in the eye. I go to NMSU and so I went to the health care place there. But no matter what I do I keep seeing really bad double vision. The doctor there said it didn't look like anything severe took place or there was any nerve damage. It hurts for me to move my eye in my socket. Should I go to a normal emergency room or eye specialist?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having double vision following punch eye injury.
These symptoms of double vision following injury indicates injury to the extraocular muscles or the nerves supplying them. Hence this requires evaluation by a eye specialist or ophthalmologist.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
With regards
