Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you have had this new bruising on the corner of you eye near the bridge of your nose. You may have gotten this bruise from even minor trauma of rubbing you eye. Since you are on low dose aspirin you are more prone to easy bruising. This is nothing to be concerned about and will naturally resolve in a few days.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
