Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a hard bump under the eye following injury.
This can be because of hematoma as a result of collection of blood in the layers of skin of eyelid as a result of impact of injury.
Since you are having tenderness fracture of the underlying bone has to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination by investigations like X ray to rule out fracture and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
