Hello
It seems from the history that you are having black eye because of a injury.
The black eye is because of collection of blood in the layers of the skin of the eyelids. This will resolve by itself and it will take about 1-2 weeks for complete resolution depending on the amount of blood collected.
Applying cold compression will help in early resolution.
Thank you
