Could this cause long term damage?

Hi everyone,

I was lying in bed ready to go to sleep in a dark room. Before going to sleep I moved aside the blinds to look out the window and because it was so dark and I couldn't see what I was doing. I felt a pain in my eye, I had whacked myself in the eye with the blinds (they're thick black out blinds) Very silly I know. It hurt because it both touched my eye and because it hit it. My eye was obviously hurting and I quickly put water on it and looked in the mirror, comparing it with the other one. It looks the same as the other one just redder. It took about a minute and the pain eased but it still feels sensitive. My vision is fine as I tested it by comparing both my eyes. What I'm worried about is if I could have done damage to my eye and not had the effects yet. I started getting a headache, and it feels like it's more on the side of the eye I hurt but I'm not sure if I'm imagining it. They hypercondriact in me is wondering if should I go to the doctors to check or am I just overreacting. I often have inner battles with myself about if I should go to the doctors or not. Thanks in advance.
