I was busy reading and my 1 yr old niece was beside me playing when she accidentally punched the side of my eye. will it damage my eye? i'm scared because i have eye floater on my other eye maybe it will cause this eye to have floater too. ?

No problem : Unless there was contact with the eyeball itself, there is little reason to be concerned. The eye is protected by bony structures and a fast blink reflex. Keep reading to your niece but watch her hands. Good luck
