Hi,

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having black eye following a injury. Since X ray has been taken and all have come normal no need to worry.
The black eye is because of ecchymosis of eyelids as a result of collection of blood in the layers of skin of eyelids as a result of impact of injury. This will resolve by itself over a period 2-3 weeks. The treatment of the condition is by use of analgesic drugs and applying cold compression.
Thank you
