How can you speed up the healing of a black eye bruise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait it out: There's no real way to speed recovery from a black eye. Like any other bruise, it's simply blood within the skin layers that needs to resolve. Just takes time. You can decrease the swelling with cold compresses, though.
