Diagnosed With Subconjunctival Hemorrhage. Is Taking Xarelto Causing Hemorrhage And Will It Affect Improvement Rate?

Was diagnosed w. subconjunctival hemorrhage (left eye) by my optometrist last Friday. I also take xarelto, for about 6 months now. Optometrist said the eye should improve in about a week; if not, to call my cardiologist. If the xarelto is causing the hemorrage, will that affect the improvement rate? thanks.
