A member asked:

Week old black and blue eye. got hit in my eye. went to the er on 4day. still bruised around my eye. is sunlight good for fast healing ? i read that.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No/yes: Sunlight won't speed up the healing of damaged tissue, but it will make the yellow discoloration phase of a bruise resolve more quickly than it would without sunlight.
