Can massaging of Restylane cause eye blurriness?

NoVaFace
I had Restylane under my eyes six days ago by a board certified plastic surgeon. Til now, I've had no post-procedure issues. I was advised to massage any nodules at one week, which I did this morning. Eight hrs later, my right eye became increasingly bloodshot. I also started feeling slight pressure and episodically blurry/milky vision. My fear is that massaging caused the filler to migrate into the eye socket/eye, putting pressure against a nerve or blood supply. Likely/Opinions?
