  2. Black Eye – Introduction What is a Black Eye? A black eye, also known as periorbital hematoma, is characterized by bleeding beneath the skin around the eye. • This discoloration occurs due to the accumulation of blood from damaged blood vessels. • In some cases, a black eye might be indicative of more severe injuries, such as skull fractures.

  3. Black Eye - Causes Causes of Black Eye • Black eyes are primarily caused by trauma or injury to the area around the eye. • The trauma leads to blood vessels breaking and blood collecting under the skin. • Common causes include direct impact, falls, accidents, and sports-related injuries.

  4. Black Eye – Guidance on the severe cases Identification of Severe Cases • While black eyes are often minor injuries, they can sometimes signal more extensive damage. • "Raccoon eyes," or bruising around both eyes, can be a sign of significant trauma. • Black eyes following a head injury might be indicative of underlying skull fractures.

  5. Black Eye – Other Causes Other Causes of Back Eye • A black eye can happen when something strikes a person on the face. This could be a ball, a fist, a door, or another item. • A black eye can also occur after some types of dental or cosmetic surgery. The bruising can last for several days. • A black eye itself is not dangerous, and the discoloration is usually due to bruising around the eye. Sometimes, however, it can be a sign of a more serious condition. • Bruising around both eyes, known as raccoon eyes, may indicate a skull fracture or other type of head injury. This requires urgent medical attention.

  6. Black Eye - Action To Be Taken To take care of a Black Eye: • Apply a cold pack, or a cloth full of ice, to the affected area of the eye with gentle pressure. Care should be taken not to press directly on the eye. Apply cold immediately post-injury to reduce swelling. Use ice or cool packs for 24-48 hours. • Examine the white and colored areas of the eye for blood. If blood is visible in any of these areas, seek immediate medical attention from an eye specialist (ophthalmologist). If you have blurred vision, severe pain, or bleeding in your eye or nose, seek medical attention immediately.

  7. Black Eye - When To Seek The Doctor When to Call a Doctor Call for emergency when: • Experiences changes in vision. • Has severe pain or swelling that does not go away. • Has swelling around the eyes that is not related to an injury. • Has signs of infection (for example, fever, warmth, redness, pus-like drainage). • Has behavioral changes, forgetfulness or lethargy, or nausea, vomiting and/or dizziness.
