Black eye

A black eye is bruising and swelling around your eye, usually caused by a blow to the area, such as a punch or fall. It should get better within 2 to 3 weeks.

Things you can do yourself to ease a black eye

There are things you can do yourself to ease any pain or swelling from a black eye.

Do

gently hold an ice pack (or a bag of frozen peas) wrapped in a cloth to the area around your eye for about 10 to 20 minutes at a time, and repeat regularly during the first 1 to 2 days
take painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, for any pain
after the first 2 days, gently apply a warm (not hot) heat pack or cloth to the area around your eye regularly during the day

Don't

do not take aspirin unless prescribed by a doctor, as this can make the bruising worse
do not press or rub the area around your eye
do not put ice directly on your skin

See a GP if:

a black eye does not go away within 3 weeks

Ask for an urgent GP appointment or get help from NHS 111 if:

You have a black eye and:

you have a headache that does not go away, or blurry vision
the area around your eye is warm or leaking pus
your temperature is very high, or you feel hot and shivery
you're taking blood-thinning medicine (such as warfarin)
you have a bleeding disorder (such as haemophilia)

You can call 111 or get help from 111 online.

Go to A&E if:

you can see blood in your eye
you have an irregularly shaped pupil (the black dot at the centre of the eye)
you had a blow to the head and have bruising around both eyes
you had a blow to the head and lost consciousness or have been sick (vomited)
you have problems with your vision, such as double vision, loss of vision, seeing flashing light, halos or shadows, or pain when looking at a bright light
you cannot move your eye

Find your nearest A&E

Do not drive to A&E. Ask someone to drive you or call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Bring any medicines you take with you.

I have always found the staff here, from the pharmacists down to young trainees on the tills, to be pleasant and patient. I like getting a txt to tell me when my scripts are ready for pick up.

Jennifer Elkins

I don’t often write reviews but wanted to share my experience of this pharmacy having read the mixture of reviews on Google.

I have been using their services regularly for over 10 years now and cannot fault them.

Sally Vokes

I visited the pharmacy today with a friend who was collecting their prescription. The service was wonderful, the lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and the medication was ready when they said it would be.

Hayley Cooper

They helped me when I was in need today. Would have had to wait 24 hours for some medication I’d run out of but I wasn’t coping well without it and the kind lady behind the counter turned it around for me in 15 mins despite them being incredibly busy. I am so grateful.

Aidan O'Keeffe

Dropped in here due to all the issues with Lloyds in Ash. I also gave up waiting at Boots at Farnborough Gate before trying here... The North Camp Pharmacy was small, but quiet and had everything we needed. Service with a smile too.

Julian Chapman

Phoned this morning and lady was very helpful. Popped in and again great service thank you

Clare Martin

Kind and helpful and very efficient at obtaining information and prescription for GP and leading on the liaison with said GP regarding lifelong repeat prescription and payment exemption.

Armaan Dass

I’ve been to many pharmacies in and around this area and I have to say this is one of a kind. Very modern and aesthetically pleasing can’t wait to see the finished refit, it’s safe to say you’ll be seeing me more often :)
