Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern.
Black eye of racoon eye is very common in case of trauma to forehead or eyebrow , so no need to worry about it , as it will heal on its own.
Although in case of trauma to eye , if you are having difficulty in vision then you should consult an ophthalmologist as there are chances of retinal detachment.
Hope this was of help.
Let me know if you have other queries
Thankyou
