The fact that you see double when you look down suggests that the bones underneath the eye are broken. You should see an Eye MD this week.  You may need a CT scan of your facial bones to locate the fracture.  If you don't get treatment the double vision could be permanent.  Go to www.aao.org to find a doctor.
