What Causes Black Discolouration Around Eyes?

My 4 1/2 yr old son presents with a black eye around his right eye. Next to the nose and below the proximal side of his right eye is bluish purple coloring. He says his eye feels fine and he can not remember being hit or falling. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having fallen some foreignbody in the eye causing local sub conjunctival hemorrhage.
Nothing to worry, put some antibiotic decongestant eye drops 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
