Bruises...

A bruise, also called a contusion, is a injury caused by a serious impact but does not rupture the skin It is a form of internal bleeding, the purple, green, blue or whatever color your bruise is, is from the blood cells gathering under your skin in that injured area to fix the problem and stop the internal injury.

A black eye is just a kind of bruising around the eye commonly due to an injury to the face rather than an eye injury. The name is given due to the color of bruising. The so-called black eye is caused by bleeding beneath the skin and around the eye. Sometimes a black eye indicates a more extensive injury, even a skull fracture, particularly if the area around both eyes is bruised (raccoon eyes) or if there has been a head injury.

Although most black eye injuries aren't serious, bleeding within the eye, called a hyphema, is serious and can reduce vision and damage the cornea.
