Suggest Treatment For Blackening Eyes Caused Due To A Fall

i just got mugged and fell on the floor hitting my head in two places, on the top right side of my forehead and on the right side above my ear. I am now noticing that my eyes are turning black, but the left one more then the right. Why is this? Does this mean i have had head trauma?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain it seems that due to trauma there has been injury to the blood vessels leading to perforation of the blood vessels and due to it there has been accumulation of blood in soft tissues around the eye leading to "Black Eye"
In case if the inside of eye is also black then you need to consult an Opthalmologist and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations and treat you accordingly..
For black eye you can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the eye and it will help in faster fading of the discolouration..
You can also apply Heparin containing gel but away from eye as it helps in faster disintegration of blood..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
