Try the following home remedies to cure your black eye -

  • To reduce the swelling and pain ice compress works best. Put some ice cubes in a plastic bag or in a towel and apply it on the eye for 10 minutes every 2-3 hours without putting any pressure on the eyeball. This will also help to minimize internal bleeding by constricting the blood vessels in the eye.


  • Stop ice compress and use warm compress as this will help to speed up healing process by improving blood circulation.
  • Massage caster oil gently on the black eye, this will also help to decrease the swelling.
  • Apply warm tea bags on the eye; the tannins in tea will help to heal the black eye.


  • Take adequate rest and avoid any kind of facial pressure as this can worsen the black eye.

If the pain is severe accompanied with pus which also restricts your vision then consult a specialist for a medical assistance.
