A member asked:
Accident caused severe bruising of the eye/fractured nose. 7 weeks ago, still slight dark line under the eye. seek medical attention or just patience?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably patience: If everything is healing, and they eye is working normally, then allow the healing to continue. Blood pools in soft tissue after trauma and can take quite a while to completely resolve. Give it another 2 weeks unless you are having trouble with your vision, breathing, or sinuses. Take care!
