Treating a black eye

[scruffbag]

Could you please help...
What is the best treatment for getting rid of a black eye?
Many thanks in advance.

Time, and a cold compress.

I agree with sandy.

[Sqad]

P.S it is JUST a black eye......isn.t it?

[sandyRoe]

My advice was empirical. It's good to see a second opinion confirming it.

sandy..LOL.what does "empirical" mean?

[sandyRoe]

'Verifiable by experience'. Of course, I'm going back some time.

Place a raw steak on it, or cut your own head off. Both methods work very well although the latter is rather extreme.
