Problem in right eye

[Ann402]

About 2 weeks ago my son and I were playing, he is 3 years old. He ended up hitting me with the back of his head right on the top of my cheek bone. I really didn't think nothing of it and figured I would have a bruise and it would go away. The little bit of a bruise that I had around my eye went away after a couple of days, but the problem is now in my right eye my vision is blurred, like there is something in my eye. My left eye is fine, it is just my right eye and this happened a couple of days after I was hit. It is worrying me because I thought that it would get better, thinking that there may be some swelling that I cannot see, but this is getting bothersome especially when I am driving. I need to wear glasses for driving and when I put them on, it makes my vision worse in the right eye. I have not seen a doctor in regards to this. because I figured it was something that would go away after a little while, but it has not.  Should I go and see a doctor to find out exactly what is wrong?
