Brief Answer:
Bleeding disorder

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have noticed black eyes twice int eh past month for no apparent reason. This concerns me about possible bleeding abnormalities. If your platelets or bleeding factors are low then even the simple act of rubbing your eye could cause bruising. I would recommend seeing your medical provider. They should run some labs to see what your blood counts are and possibly even a bleeding time. This could be a result of simply taking aspirin or other anti-inflamatories which affect platelets to liver damage.

In summary
1. Bruising of the eyes
2. Easy bruising just from rubbing your eyes
3. Platelet problem
4. Aspirin or other NSAIDs affecting platelets
5. Liver disease
6 See your medical provider
