Research Notes on Black Eye
A black eye occurs after a trauma or injury to the tissues surrounding the eye. Blood and other fluids build up in the area causing discoloration; hence, the term “black eye.” It heals completely in about a week and it may appear to spread towards the cheeks or the other eye before it resolves on its own. Symptoms can be relieved with cold and hot compresses, and anti-inflammatory medications. It is best to consult a physician should the bruising and swelling persist.
