Eye Patch Is Recommended To Rest Eye From Seepage After Sucker Punch?

My friend recieved a sucker punch last Sat. It;s extremely red and bloodied, swelling has gone down due to ice, but he has numbness from the bridge to the upper lip. He is taking tylenol for discomfort. Is an eye patch recommended to rest the eye from seepage and use?

Your friend has given ice aplication . it is OK how ever get his eye examined. Vision test fundus examination. If all test are normal no further treatment required. Ifany problem detected then it should be treated.
