Severe : Severe pain with chewing coupled with the orbital and ocular complaints you are describing sounds more in line with a possible trimalar (tripod) fracture. You definitely want to have an opthalmologic exam to examine your eye and will need dedicated ct scans of your orbits and facial bones. If a fracture is seen there are many specialty fields that potentially can handle repair, if needed, and include ent, maxillofacial surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, and general plastic surgeons. Find out who is experienced in your area with this type of fracture repair.

You : You may want to consult with an oculoplastic specialist for possible orbit or facial fracture.

You : You should see your local ophthalmologist asap. You may have an orbital wall fracture with muscle entrapment and you need an immediate evaluation to rule this out.
