Frequently Asked Questions

A black eye, medically known as periorbital hematoma, is a bruise or discoloration of the skin around the eye due to bleeding beneath the skin.

Black eyes are typically caused by blunt force trauma or injury to the eye area, resulting in broken blood vessels and bleeding.

Symptoms include swelling, pain, discoloration (bruising), and potential vision disturbances, depending on the severity.

Trauma to the eye area causes blood vessels to break, leading to the release of blood into the surrounding tissues, resulting in discoloration.

A black eye is usually not serious but can indicate underlying facial injuries. Severe black eyes with vision changes should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Mild black eyes can heal in a few days, although serious cases might take several weeks to heal.

Doctors diagnose black eyes based on a physical examination and may order imaging tests like CT scans if they suspect underlying damage.
