The name is given due to the color of bruising. The so-called black eye is caused by bleeding beneath the skin around the eye. Sometimes a black eye indicates a more extensive injury, even a skull fracture, particularly if the area around both eyes is bruised (raccoon eyes) or if there has been a head injury. EFTA_R1_01473005 EFTA02411609 N N For years, the conventional wisdom has been that the best treatment for a black eye is to cover it with a piece of raw meat. Scientific studies have proven that while the raw meat helps reduce the swelling and aids in the healing process, applying cold meat actually delays the recovery of the broken blood vessels that cause the bruising around the orbital socket, while frozen meat may cause superficial thermal burns to the skin. These same studies demonstrated that application of warm and tender meat is much more effective in helping the eyes recover from the damage because the bruising isn't compounded by thermal shock.

Caution: This method may cause swelling in other areas EFTA_R1_01473007 EFTA02411611 EFTA_R1_01473008 EFTA02411612 EFTA_R1_01473009 EFTA02411613
