I got elbowed in the eye 6days ago and the swelling has gone down but i can only open my eyes a quarter way. will it stay like this forever?

No, but get UR eyes: Checked anyway! any blunt injury to the eye can affect your cornea, your iris, and possibly the back of your eye. So, you want a full eye examination done, including a dilated fundoscopic examination. This would be beneficial, and give you a baseline for improvement as the swelling goes down. Go to an eye doctor!

Likely not: Unless the blunt trauma caused damage to the muscle of support structures. This type of trauma sounds quite severe and the eye should be examined to make sure no serious eye injury took place.
