Per Intelihealth:
Indirect orbital floor fracture ("blowout fracture"). This occurs when the bony rim of the eye remains intact, but the paper thin floor of the eye socket cracks or ruptures. This can cause a small hole in the floor of the eye socket that can trap parts of the eye muscles and surrounding structures. The injured eye may not move normally in its socket, which can cause double vision. Most blowout fractures are caused by an impact to the front of the eye from something bigger than the eye opening, such as a baseball, a fist or an automobile dashboard.
Approximately 2.5 million traumatic eye injuries, including eye socket fractures, occur each year in the United States. About 85% of these injuries happen by accident, during contact sports, at work, in car crashes or while doing home repair projects. About 15% are caused by violent assaults. Men suffer from traumatic eye injuries about four times more often than women do. The average age of the injured person is about 30. The source of the injury is usually a blunt object -- baseball, hammer, rock, piece of lumber -- and the most frequent place of injury is the home. At one time, eye injuries were common in motor vehicle accidents, usually when a victim's face struck the dashboard. Such eye injuries have decreased dramatically because more cars have airbags, and most states have laws mandating the use of seat belts.

A three hundred pound gentle giant punches my eye out, I unload whatever weapon I have till it goes click.
Well, yeah, but a blowout orbital fracture doesn’t justify killing an unarmed gentle giant. /sarc
Interesting. Double vision. So the Gentle Giant’s own actions of punching the officer, is the reason he was shot so many times before he could be stopped.
Double vision? Obvious to me is he saw more than one person rushing him after he was assaulted! That would make him instantly afraid for his life. Case closed.
What a pair this AG and Pissadent are. The one guy goes back to playing golf after uttering the perfunctory commentary about the killing by ISIS which underscores his terrible foreign policy...the other one makes comments prejudging a domestic matter which he is sworn to remain neutral in. These two are complete and utter failures to their constitutional offices, embarrassments to those, well most of, who have held them before, and need to be drummed out of office.
...and if you are seeing double (and a good shot) and aim at the wrong one, the shots will go up the side instead of center of mass, getting closer to the midline as the perp approaches.
Exactly the description of the wound distribution in the perpetrator.
Part of the Republican war on wome................er, Democrat war on men.
For a cop involved shooting, it was pretty good afa rounds fired vs hits.
“It has been confirmed”? Has it?
Sucker punch. He let the animal get too close. It makes
since now. Brown walks up acting all on the up and up,
probably acting friendly and when he gets close enough,
without cause or provocation hits Wilson in the eye,
probably temporarily knocking him out. Then Brown goes for
Wilsons gun.
Wilson made the mistake of taking his eyes off Brown.
My wife had one after she took a fall off of stairs onto a concrete pad on her cheekbone. Nasty indeed. Didn’t see correctly for months.
“...and if you are seeing double (and a good shot) and aim at the wrong one, the shots will go up the side instead of center of mass, getting closer to the midline as the perp approaches.”
Good one and accurate. Makes sense.
“For a cop involved shooting, it was pretty good afa rounds fired vs hits.”
No kidding. Usually to get that many hits they have to fire
300 to 400 rounds with 40 cops shooting at a single average
size non moving target at 40 feet in full daylight.
And then I pound him with the empty gun until I simply don't have enough strength left to hold it.
I’m OK with adding that as an intermediate step...
