For just a bruise, that thing is really dark! And so close to your actual eyeball, you could have been hurt a lot worse so I suppose it's not as bad as it could have been. It's just really striking, that's all, and your description of the event is vivid enough that when people read it they can imagine themselves going through that same pain.
