I would take Mike in to the vet today have his eye checked. It's very important to have any eye condition examined and treated right away, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. His eye should be stained with fluorescein just to make sure there wasn't any damage done to his corner when he was accidentally hit in the eye. If there was damage done, the vet can prescribe a treatment for it.
