• Apply a cloth filled with ice or a cold pack with gentle pressure to the area around the eye. This will reduce the swelling. Make sure not to press the eye itself.
• Be sure there's no blood within the white and colored parts of the eye.
• If there is severe pain, double vision, blurring, bleeding in the eye or from the nose seek medical care immediately.
