1. black eye

   A black eye is a bruising or discoloration around the eye resulting from an injury to the face or the head. It is caused by blood and other fluids collecting in the space around the eye, leading to swelling and dark coloration, often in shades of black and blue. Despite its name, a black eye doesn't usually affect the actual eye or vision.

1. Black eye

   A black eye, periorbital hematoma, or a shiner, is ecchymosis around the eye commonly due to an injury to the face rather than eye injury. The name is given due to the color of bruising. The so-called black eye is caused by bleeding beneath the skin and around the eye. Sometimes, a black eye indicates a more extensive injury, even a skull fracture, particularly if the area around both eyes is bruised, or if there has been a prior head injury. Although most black eye injuries aren't serious, bleeding within the eye, called a hyphema, is serious and can reduce vision and damage the cornea. In some cases, abnormally high pressure inside the eyeball also can result.
