I e-mailed my older brother who is studying to be an optometrist about this mostly, just asking about the orbital socket thing that was mentioned before. He said that if that is what it is that the most that would have happened is that he would have some fractures in the bones there. It is the same as the eye socket and that it contains all of the bones in the eye. The worst that would happen would be that there would be some restriction in the muscles that control eye movement. sorry for the longer post, but I thought you might want to know what an student of optometry said.
