B
Feedback:
For an eye contusion or a black eye, an appropriate outcome would be for evidence of the bleeding to be reabsorbed within 1 to 3 weeks. The swelling should be reduced much sooner than a month. The child should not experience any double vision with a black eye. The child will not need to be prescribed corrective lenses because of a black eye.
