Diplopia after a fist hit

Long story short, I got attacked Monday evening and guy hit me in the eye. Now I have a seemingly usual eye bruise, but one thing I am concerned about is subsequent diplopia, or double vision. I went to the ophthalmologist's and he said that it will most likely be gone when the bruise regenerates, but I'm still very concerned and really afraid of it not going away.

Right now I'm writing this with my left eye open because it is uncomfortable for me due to vision overlapping.

Will it go away itself or a surgery is required for that?

    I would take the reassurance from your opthalmologist - double vision of this type is usually temporary. The brain will re-adjust and the sight will return to normal. My hubby got stabbed in the eye whilst trying to help someone who was being attacked and had double vision for a while but it eventually went away as the eye healed.
