Eye trauma

[31b]

I am 31 year old. A few hours back  my 6 year old niece threw a plastic toy at my face while playing which directly hit my eye. As soon as it hit my eye i lost vision for a few seconds making my vision blue. Following I had a headache and eye started twitching for a while and a little portion of the white of my eye turned red. Is it normal to lose vision for a few seconds when something hard hits the eye suddenly? Are the above mentioned symptoms typical of sudden blow to the eye? Should i be concerned or will it resolve over time? Please explain

I did check with an opthalmologist and everything was fine . I just want to know if the momentary blindness caused by the sudden impact on the eye is normal? Besides i am highly myopic and someone just mentioned of consuming blackseed oil to improve it. Can blackseed oil improve weak sight?

You should see an ophthalmologist for an exam, to be sure that nothing serious resulted from the trauma.
