Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain and blurring of vision following injury.
This indicates probably a corneal damage in the form of corneal abrasion or ulcer.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops.
Since it can be become complicated by formation of corneal ulcer this requires treatment by a ophthalmologist.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
