What Causes Impairment Of Peripheral Vision After Eye Injury?
Hi, Thanks for your question. After going through your question, I can understand your concern. You should consult ophthalmologist immediately for detailed clinical evaluation and field charting (perimetry). There may be possibility of injury to optic nerve or retina or there may be restriction of eye movement due to haematoma. Depending upon examination there may be need for brain imaging with MRI of orbit. Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
