How long does a black eye last?

Depends: This will depend on the nautre of the injury, the amount of blood leaked out into the tissue and continuing to leak out, the initial treatment and continuing treatment, whether you are on Aspirin or other blood thinners like "plavix" or "coumadin" and you own ability to clot and remove clot. A simple "black eye" may last 7-10 days. More severe could last a month or more.

Black eye: Usually takes three or four weeks to slowly resolve and finally disappear. If it doesn't resolve after a month then have your doctor check you for another problem.

Having blackouts w/high pitch ringing just before. Once i hear this all will go black. Lasts secs to mins. Eyes flutter or roll back sometimes.
I have noticed this last few weeks, on going to bed and turning the light off, if I open my eyes I see a black blob in my left eye vision, but if I blink a few times it will disappear. I do not have this problem in day light?
