See your eye doc: The trigeminal and facial nerves are connected to motor and sensations on your face . You may have blinked hard when something hit your eye, which may have also affected what you felt on that side of your face. If this persists, you need to see your eye doctor, and discuss it with him/her. They can get to the bottom of this.
