Have patience as it would at least take a week for the black eye to heal completely. Try these home remedies to heal your black eye.

  • Avoid putting pressure on the eyeball.


    Wrap ice in a towel or a plastic bag. Apply it on your black eye for 5-10 minutes every 2 hrs. This will help to reduce the swelling and minimize internal bleeding by constricting the blood vessels in the eye.


  • After 2 days (which you have already reached) switch to warm compress as this will help in better blood circulation and speed up healing.
  • Rub caster oil slowly on the black eye to decrease the swelling.
  • Apply cold tea bags on the eye. The tannins in tea will help to speed healing.
  • Rest and avoid any kind of facial stress/pressure, even blowing your nose too hard in that case.

If the pain is severe or worsening and your vision is at stake then consult a specialist for immediate medical assistance.
