Sorry to tell you this - but your eye may take 2 weeks to clear up. When I fell down stairs and landed on my face (didn't break anything, but boyohboy did I have 2 black eyes, a hugely swollen forehead AND a black nose), it took 2 WEEKS for the black to go away. It slid down my face a bit every day as it faded. I looked like an abused wife. I was questioned several times in the ER by several different people - I guess to make sure I gave the same answers to be sure I hadn't been beaten up! Nope - fell down the stairs!
