Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have to get her retina and optic nerve checked . the red eyes could be due to sub conjunctival hemorrhage but sometimes in concussion there could be hemorrhage in the retina i.e. the back of the eye too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
