Immediately rush him to hospital, there might be a internal bleed which compressing the artery supplying nerves /area of vision.hence the visual changes.if there is associated vomiting and headache and any signs of weakness of any body parts or seizures,then bleed in head is confirmed. Rush him to nearby neurosurgeon, he will take an ct scan/MRI and admit him.all cases of head trauma are to be kept in observation for 48 hours even if patient is healthy as bleed can start in any of these hours.
Don't panic most bleeds are treated by medicines alone without need of surgery.we have got excellent treatment if treated within time without having any complications and prevent damage.
