  The black eye is a relatively common result of injury to the face or the head. It occurs when blood and other fluids collect in the space around the eye, swelling and dark discoloration. In order to remove the black eyes, you can put ice bags on your eyes for 20 minutes intervals starting as soon as possible after you are injured and repeating it every few hours for the first 24 hours. At the same time, you can add vitamin C to your diet to speed healing. Or you can boost enzymes from pineapple and papaya to treat the black eye. On the contrary, you should not intake aspirin because it thins the blood and slows the clotting process naturally.
