I work for an eye surgeon, Frozen peas in a zip lock bag works great if your eye is swollen also sleeping with your head elevated helps with swelling if you have any. As far as the bruising warm compresses help restrict the blood vessels here are a few things our office tells our post-op patients to try...I have had a lot of luck with theses compresses.
Rice in a Sock
Fill a clean, all-cotton sock with raw rice.
Microwave to desired temperature. if the sock is not 100% cotton it may melt/burn at low temps!
Rolled Facecloth
Place a dampened facecloth in the microwave, but make sure the facecloth is tightly rolled up it helps keep the heat. The warmth of the facecloth last only about 3 to 5 minutes, I suggest this if you are in a hurry!
Do not use the heat compresses more than 20 Minutes at a time.

Try vitamin K or C. Put on cold compresses.
I can't vouch for the use of this around your eye, but...the Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment (with comfrey and some other stuff) really helps heal bruises on my body. Try a little dab under your eye (not *in* your eye, just near it.) It might help.
If you feel congested, try an anti-allergy med or a decongestant. Does your nose hurt? Sometimes, people get black eyes when their noses get broken.
It might just take a while for it to heal. But if it doesn't seem to heal at all (like, changing colors) or it's swollen, get it checked out.

Most black eyes take up to two weeks to heal depending on how fast your body can heal. If your eye is still swollen I suggest ice packs and cold substances to keep the swelling down. If its just a shiner and not swollen try moist heat like a warm washcloth. Basically blood vessels in your eye have burst from being hit. So your eye is gonna take a little time to heal itself. If you feel any thing like sensitivity to light or it hurts to look left and right or up and down i suggest you see a doctor cuz you might have possibly have had a concussion. I hope that helps:)

best thing to do is to keep your head elevated and tilted back to aid in the drainage. right after the injury ice is commonly used on for 15 min. then off. try that 4x's a day. after 3 days i would try warm compress(a warm wash cloth)15 min 4 x a day. also try rubbing some vit E around the area of damage. gentle massage should help the area. if there is any problem with your sight please see your opthamologist. good luck and best wishes.

Bach Flower Essences makes an amazing cream called Rescue Remedy Cream. Myself and many others I know have used it for bruises; it's great.
