Hi,
After a day or two of applying cold packs, try gently applying warm (not hot) compresses to your black eye. This will increase blood flow to the area to facilitate healing.
Gently massage the area surrounding the bruise (not the black eye itself) in the days following the injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
