What Causes A Bruise Under The Corner Of The Eye Post Cataract Surgery?
I woke up at 3 a.m. this morning and in my trip to the bathroom saw a bruise in the skin under the corner of my eye. I had a cataract removed at least two months ago from that eye....as well as the other cataract removed two - three weeks ago. All went well, and have had my post -op by the surgeon and says all is perfect. Have received a prescription for the eyes, but do not have the glasses yet.I sm on blood thinner, and at 81 years of age, skin is fragile. I wonder if I may have attempted to clean the eye lid and below the eye with too much effort although don t see it different than any other evening when I washed my face.

What Causes A Bruise Under The Corner Of The Eye Post Cataract Surgery?
Hello, It could be a contusion only. Generally, it will settle by itself. You can apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persist you can consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
