Hello everyone! I have a black eye on the opposite side of where my injuries are usually from my seizures including black eyes. I have had many of them but they are always on the left side. I have never had any injuries on the right side from seizures until now if that is why. Well, now I have one on my right side and I can't figure it out. I had a seizure Monday and hit the right side of my head and yes, it is bruised but I didn't have a black eye until today which is 3 days later. I had a seizure yesterday but I didn't have any bruises, etc. The only thing I can say that happened is, I ate breakfast twice. I had eaten my breakfast and was taking my coffee cup to the kitchen and then the next thing I knew I was eating breakfast again. But, still, I didn't have any injuries that I could see or feel. I got up this morning and there was my black eye. I didn't have a seizure over night so that couldn't be it. Can a black eye wait 3 days later and then show up from a injury? Mine have always shown up in just a few hours or a day at the most. It just doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone explain this?
 
Sometimes black eyes put in a delayed appearance after an injury to the nose or forehead. (Or after cosmetic surgery, but you probably haven't gone out and gotten a nose job during a seizure). Do you think you might have gotten smacked during a seizure without knowing it?

If you have any persistent symptoms (pain/swelling) definitely get checked out. And I hope you don't get any more black eyes.
 
I would think so.I hope you had eye doc look at you from time to time

I have decided I must have fallen during the seizure I had on Wednesday or maybe it was a delayed appearance from the blow I had on Monday. It was hard enough because I still have the knot on my head from that blow.

All I have is 2 black eyes from 3 seizures last week. They are already getting better. I had my eyes checked in July or August of this year and I do it yearly. He said everything looks fine. I didn't know they would be late sometimes about appearing but, now I do. Thanks to both of you!
