Can accidentally hitting the nose bridge cause a permanent shape change?

Noh4312367May 5, 2024
I already have a fractured part on the left side of my nose bridge with a little pump next to it YEARS AGO, which makes me feel that I might be less immune to nose hits. TODAY, I got an accidental elbow hit and it was painful but the pain was gone quickly and there was no bleeding. I wonder if that might be cussing any shape change and if I need to see a doctor?

Since you have seen many ophthalmologist for your concern, you may be best served by risking this question with photographs of your eyes and nose. In general, someone's nose does not lead to a cross eyed appearance. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
