Can being struck with a ball or elbow during play cause damage inside the eye?

Can being struck with a ball or elbow during play cause damage inside the eye?

Yes. Blunt trauma can cause bleeding inside the eye which is called a hyphema. The blood in the eye can cause increased pressure, which can result in permanent vision loss. This needs to be evaluated urgently and requires frequent eye drops and often daily follow-up. Trauma associated with swelling of the eyelid, red eye, pain, or discharge should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist promptly.
