It all depends on the socket and how badly its injured and how fast you get treatment. I have ha dpunching contests with my drunk friends before. We literally punched eachother in the eye, prolly like once every 30 min for about a 3 or 4 hour stretch. My bone and eye socket was bruised, it swelled out about 1 to 2 inches, i had bleeding in the white part that didnt go away for about 3 months.. All of us had it about the same. All of us are pretty big too, about 6 ft 250+ pounds, lunchbox hands. Anyways, i went to the doctor and there is scarring in my eye, it did not affect my vision, i did not lose vision, but the doctor said as i get older i could potentially have problems... Point is, its possible to go blind if blood flow is restricted for whatever reason, just check it out at the doctors

I used to box in Golden gloves tournaments and have been hit hard enough in the eye that my eye hemorrhaged and the white of my eyes were totally red I had blurred vision and a detached retina in my left eye. So if you suspect damage you should seek medical help.
