Matey, that’s not getting better or going down any time soon.

Here’s a good, legit guide to your black eye! (Trust me, I’m a nurse, lol)

Haha, was that a pirate reference?

In any case, thanks! Do you think I should get it looked at tomorrow? Or do you think I should be fine?

As well as that general guide, here’s a more specialised one from eye doctors in the US.

Haha it’s something we’ve said for years as a joke, buggered if I know where it came from, lol.

Look, read the page, it gives you some guidance as to when you should go to the doc. If you have any further questions I’m happy to clear up what I can- considering that I’m not there.
