    Bopped in the face, eye is weird now
    I got punched in the upper eye/forehead. Broke my sunglasses and made my contact pop out. Not much pain, no swelling, no black eye, just a red mark on my forehead and a scratch on my cheek. Gone the next day(besides the scratch). I put in a new contact and noticed immediately that my vision isn't quite as good in that one eye. Eye also feels slightly stingy few days later. The weird thing is my vision seems normal wearing glasses. I am a little nervous what should I do?

    Thanks

    I would go to a walk in optical shop if you have to wait to see your optometrist. They may have drops that can show if you have a scratch on your eye. If you do, you have to go to the optometrist. If you don't, you need to go anyway. Aside from a scratch, which usually will heal, there's a chance you could have a tiny piece of glass in your eye.

    Because it doesn't hurt to blink, however, I'm wondering if your new contact isn't quite right! So off you go to the optometrist. If you go where you got your script, it might be free.

    Note that contacts are shaped to the curvature of each eye... so you could have right and left mixed up. Very rare that you might have temporarily changed the shape. (I have astigmatism - mine change shape constantly.)

    I may go slightly further and have a complete eye exam. A blow to the face can also cause retina damage that can only be detected though a very close exam.
