Yes: It's always a good idea to have your child checked out, particularly When injuries involve the head & eyes. Reassurance that the injury is inspected & proper treatment rendered is important for the well being of your child. Good luck.

Depends: Kids break bones on occasion, the clavicle being the most common followed by simple fractures of the forearm. I would ignore this as part of the equation.If your "mommy" sense is troubled by the eye injury on its own merit, have it evaluated sooner rather than later. If you are comfortable monitoring the issue, that is fine too.
