Hi,Dear.Welcome to HealthCare Magic.
Bruising around eye after a head injury is a normal thing.it does not causes any harm to the eye itself. The fatty tissue along with the lack of muscle around the eye socket allows a potential space for blood accumulation. As this blood is reabsorbed, various pigments are released giving it a appearance like that of a bruise.
there is nothing to do with this,it will resolve simultaneously.Most of them resolve within one week.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
