See an Eye MD: Its very appropriate that you went to the ER especially to have imaging done to rule out anything dangerous in the eye or orbital bone surrounding the eye. You also need to make sure you see an ophthalmologist for a thorough clinical history taking and exam. In some conditions such as blood in the front of the Iris aka hyphema or high eye pressure we usually do not want any pressure on the eye.
