​Black Eye Cures

Bleeding beneath the skin around the eye is called black eye. Most black eyes are fairly minor injuries as many heal without treatment in a few days.
However, a black eye may indicate serious injuries e.g. if the area surrounding both eyes is bruised after a head injury this could indicate a skull fracture.

How to take care of a black eye?   

•     Apply a cloth filled with ice or a cold pack with gentle pressure to the area around the eye. This will reduce the swelling. Make sure not to press the eye itself.
•     Be sure there's no blood within the white and colored parts of the eye.
•     If there is severe pain, double vision, blurring, bleeding in the eye or from the nose seek medical care immediately.
