bruised eye
by evelyn1953, Jun 26, 2009 01:37PM
My son was assaulted by 3 men and hit in the eye he recv'd a cut in the eyebrow and a severe bruise to his eye on April 15th. The bruise had healed up somewhat but never went away and now the bruise is getting worse. His top eyelid is a deep purple and it's been two and a half months. Is it normal for a bruise on the eye to take this long to heal.

Dear evelyn1953,
I would recommend that he seek the care of an eyeMD. It is possible that a blood vessel has bled or he has an injury elsewhere. Eye rubbing, straining, aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may reduce clotting time or bleeding.
