  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
