Pic?

Could be anything from a subconjunctival hemorrhage to a hyphema. Without a pic it's hard to tell.

Depends on the amount of blood. Mine took 4 weeks to fully disappear.

2-3 weeks.

Stay away from aspirin.

Ok thanks for comments, I've been reading up on black eye stuff too, supposedly theres some stuff called Bromelain that cuts bruise healing time in 1/2 if not more, however it has a small bloood thinning affect.

I dont understand how this works isn't the hemmorage just a bruise in the eye and wouldn't increased blood flow via blood thinners ie asprin clean up the area faster?

 

[JarheadChiro]

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen or other non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs can thin the blood and may increase bleeding.

Alright thanks for advice. I know im asking alot of questions about this but its really annoying. Its been about a week and I havn't noticed much of anything, does healing increase more rapidly as time goes on?

Like the guys said, It depends on how much blood has accumulated. I would give it a full month or so to fully dissipate. In the meantime, if you experience any problems with your vision, go see an eye doctor.

yea i already saw an eye doc to stay on the safe side, nothing is wrong. It just sucks having an injury like this that you cant do anything about you know?

the best for bruising in my experience is arnica. not sure if you get it in the states. its a herbal remedy. will cut healing time down loads. smash my face up in rugby all the time. you can get it in cream form and tablets.
hope this helps

just remembered its also called Leopard's Bane, mountain tobacco and sneezewort. random ass names.

You can possibly speed up the healing doing alternating hot and cold packs.

Distortion, glad your eye is OK. Sorry I haven't responded recently. I can't access the internet when I'm overseas.
