The punch of the tennis ball in the eye, through the stone or other object, nobody is really safe from a black eye.

Is it serious? How to prevent the contour of the eye to pass the black butter?

After a shock in the eye, make sure there is nothing serious
After a violent shock, the first thing to do is make sure that the eye itself has not suffered from any major injury. To find out, two points should be checked, one has to do with the pain, the other, vision.

1) In general, the pain fades rapidly after the shock intensity, although sometimes it does not disappear completely, including the touch. The circumference of the eye and eyelid (sometimes bloated) can remain painful few hours to several days, but only to the touch.

2) After a brutal shock to the level of the eye, vision may be affected including a blurred or double vision. Sometimes a laser eye surgery is the only way by which the blurred or double vision can be treated permanently.

So in the absence of persistent pain and if the view is not affected, so good, it's just a bruise. Conversely, consult urgently! Be careful, once in the eye may cause retinal detachment or bleeding inside the eye. Moreover, the swelling of the eyelid is sometimes important to point to cover much of the eye and prevent vision. A consultation in the day may help reassure and to thoroughly check the absence of any complication.

The bruise is characterized by a small accumulation of blood under the skin. Indeed, the shock caused the collapse of several small vessels located there. Nothing serious, but the skin takes on a dark red, sometimes black. After a few days, the bruising tends to descend along the cheek and to change color by pulling the yellow. If the shock also affected the conjunctiva, the lining inside the eyelid, a red spot appears the result of the extension of the bruise under the conjunctiva.

How to treat a black eye?
1) Must lie on the back and apply to the eye a swab of ice water.

2) We can try to limit the extension of the hematoma by making a slight compression. As this is difficult in the eye, one can use a coin for example, or any other flat object of similar size, having thoroughly cleaned and wrapped in gauze.

3) To reduce the bruising, it is recommended to apply a cream or gel-based arnica around the eye by light massage, as long as the color of the skin.

4) Homeopathy may be tempted to supplement (Ledum palustre 5CH or if very painful shock: Symphytum officinale 5CH), otherwise in herbal medicine: sweet clover, red vine, Indian chestnut, bilberry leaf, black currant, etc.

Attention, especially not aspirin! Its anticoagulant effect would spread the bleeding under the skin and enhance the beautiful colors around the eye.
