Saturday afternoon, I was lying on the floor with my cat watching television when I absent-mindedly grabbed the leg of a wooden barstool we have in our apartment near our counter. The stool disagreed with my grab and came tumbling down upon my face. It was so bad we had to go to the ER. I had a golf-ball sized bag of fluid hanging down over my eye, completely swelling it shut.
Here is a pic of me at the ER (Saturday afternoon) taken by my friend's cellphone (sorry for the quality):

Forget ointments and such. Just get a beautiful girl to kiss it. It heals much more quickly. Story time - Back in the 80's I was winding up 2 outdoor extension cords attached to each other. I gave it a tug when it seemed to hang up on something. It came apart and one of the plugs nailed me in the eye. It looked sort of like your accident. Days later at a Symphony of LI rehearsal, the asst. conductor, Joann Falletta, who was conducting the upcoming concert, came over to me and wanted to know what happened. I told her I was in a fight and so she kissed it. It healed very quickly. Try it!
