Its a common injury after being punched in the eye.
The walls of the eye socket on the inside and bottom are paper thin.
When punched the eye puts pressure on them and they can “blow out”
Sometimes a piece of muscle used to move the eye can get trapped resulting in double vision. That can be permanent if not corrected. Also blunt trauma to the eye can result in a lens dislocation, or a retinal detachment, or bleeding into the front of the eye (hyphema) all of which can permanently affect vision...

.....this description of yours and one other suggest that maybe Wilson could not see well or normally and had to fire so many shots because he knew if the gentle giant got hold of him he was toast!

After my son was pistol whipped they had two or three cat scans and the eye doc examine him twice to see whether his eye was ok. Other than not being able to wear his contacts, his eyes were fine thanks be to God.
