Not a Doc, but here is the treatment:

Orbital Floor Blowout Treatment

Depending on the damage, most people who suffer an orbital blowout will require surgery. ER physicians will first make sure you are stabilized and tend to any injuries that require immediate treatment. They will also prescribe general antibiotics to prevent infection. You will be instructed not to blow your nose for several weeks, as doing so can cause additional swelling, injury and possibly air to enter the tissue. Ice packs should be gently applied to the orbit for the first 48 hours. You will then be instructed to see your optometrist or ophthalmologist to make sure you do not have any other damage to your eye. Next, you will be referred to a maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in the repair of orbital blowout fractures.

Thanks for that pertinent data.

Thanks for the information about the damage done to the face and bones around the eye socket. In this case, it may explain why we have neither seen nor heard from the policeman who was assaulted by Big Mike.

He may have needed surgery a day or two after the event.

I am certain that there are numerous photos of the damage to his face. Necessary for any claims against medical insurance, plus evidence in the confrontation between the officer and the now deceased felon.

.....confirms my first thought which is boy oh boy this guy has to now be super, super careful with every move he makes because this is a MAJOR, not MINOR, injury and he could well lose an eye if he is nor reeeaaalll careful.
