hello, thanks for your query, hit on eye, leading to nasal bleeding and black eye could be due to injury to nasal septum or bone leading to opening of nose vessels and black eye could be due to injury to orbit or eye. kindly evaluate with an ent surgeon and eye surgeon for further assessment and proper treatment. all the best. take care.
