Sometimes athletes try to “tough it out” after an injury, but certain symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Watch for:
- Double vision
• Loss of peripheral vision
• Flashes or floaters
• Severe pain or swelling
• Blood inside the eye
These symptoms could indicate retinal damage or internal bleeding.
Prompt evaluation by an ophthalmologist can prevent permanent vision loss.
