Narrative:
While walking back to do my walk-around; I hit the front right luggage bin with my eye; causing a cut; minor bleeding; and a black eye. The front bin when open is below eye level and only leaves approximately 1 foot of isle width. Two different flight attendants also hit their heads on bins prior to them closing; and one hit her head after landing. I was also informed that multiple passengers complain about hitting their heads on this aircraft.
