What Causes Subconjunctival Hemorrhage In The Left Eye Post A Cataract Surgery?

Question: a hemorrhage in my left eye - why? History: single bypass 3 years ago, followed by 4 ischemic strokes. Complete recovery afterwards. Also: cataract surgery in same eye 3 mos. ago. Am on Warfarin and Atorvastatin. Should I be concerned? How long to wait for it to heal? This happened in same eye two weeks ago. It healed in two days. Today is the second day and it is worse. I am 77 yrs. old, do yoga constantly, meditate, take 5-mile walks 5x/wk. I am a potter, sculptor, and pianist.
