Black Eye
A black eye typically results from trauma to the area surrounding the eye, causing bruising and discolouration. This occurs when blood vessels beneath the skin break, leading to swelling and a darkened appearance. Generally, a black eye heals within a week or two, with proper care and treatment speeding recovery.
