“What should I be doing for eye injury?”
Over the weekend, I had gotten into a fight and now my eye's all bruised up and red. It hurts when I try to move it. I don't want to go to the doctor because I don't want my family to know about why it happened. Is there anything that I should be doing for this eye injury?

See an ophthalmologist.
There are many things that can be damaged in the eye socket and eyeball, so it is best to see a doctor. The treatment would depend on what the diagnosis is.
If you have bruising if the eyelid and pain when you move your eye around, the bony wall of your eye socket might be broken. Sometimes eye socket fractures need to be fixed urgently or else permanent consequences can occur. You need to see an eye doctor ASAP within a day or two to find out if you need surgery.
Go to the ophthalmologist. You may have incurred significant damage to the eye and unless diagnosed and timely treated can result in permanent loss of vision. Brave enough or dumb enough to get into a fight, take you medicine of lessons learned and seek professional care. If you lose your vision, your family will be upset.
You must see an ophthalmologist who will dilate your pupil to look at the retina in the back and make sure no severe injury.
Yes, you need to see an eye care specialist. There are many injuries to your eye that could have happened. Bleeding in or behind the eye, broken bones, retinal detachment.
The worrying symptom here is pain on moving the eye. Do you also see double in certain positions of gaze of both eyes are open?
If the pain doesn’t settle quickly or indeed gets worse and if you see double at all with both eyes open then you definitely need to be seen rather quickly because it could mean you have an orbital fracture.

Use cold compress. Alternate with warm compresses. Use a pain killer. But you have to see a doctor. An eye doctor will figure out if there is traumatic lens, traumatic glaucoma, conjunctival bleeding, corneal abrasion, orbital bone fracture, retinal heme, etc.
Cold compress if you want self treatment. Check your eyes and vision daily. If you have any problems see an ophthalmologist
There are many possible complications of blunt injuries to the eye, including blood inside the eye, optic nerve damage, retinal detachment, blindness, etc. You need to see a doctor. Go to an emergency room without your family but you need to be examined by an Ophthalmologist
