Got a 4 week black eye. doc said no more blood under my eye. have a dark black line still under eye after purple left. by when should i worry not gone

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be not: If no pain or worsening of symptoms. Turning purple means that the blood is been reabsorbed and resolution is approaching

Red blood shot eyes since contracting Covid-19 in March. Almost 7 months later and it is still the same. Already tried C-NAC eyedrops. Didn't work. Any opinions on why I still have it? And what treatment methods to discuss with my family doc next?
