18 y/o boy rushes to ER with h/o trauma with a cricket ball right over the right eye.

He arrived in ER after 2 hours of trauma. Patient complained of pain and blurriness in his right eye.

On local eye examination, this is how it looked like (in pics above).

All vitals stable.

Referred him to higher center for further investigations after making sure patient was stable.

What is your diagnosis and how would you manage such a case?

Thank you.
