A member asked:

A stone hit my partner's eye from a passing car could this make that eye bulge at all like rubbing can lead to keratoconus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eye trauma: Yes - the eye ball can be easily bruised; it can develop water under the sclera and it can hemorrhage internally; please urge him to be checked by an eye specialist; meanwhile, apply cold packs constantly - not too much pressure
