How Can Blood Clot Under Eye After Injury Be Removed?

I had a black eye injury over 10 years ago, there had been no fracture, no problems with vision but I still have slight swelling underneath my eye ever since, when its aggravated the swelling appears.

Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
When there is trauma to an area, such as what you have described, part of the body's natural healing process can involve an increase in fibrous tissue in the area of injury. Because the swelling is still appreciable nearly a decade later and is causing you a degree of discomfort, I suggest that you visit your medical doctor for further examination, which may include imaging.
Thanks again for sharing your health care concern with me.
Sincerely,
Dr. G
