Hi,

The bruise cannot be because of ciprofloxacin antibiotic. You might have some unnoticed trauma over eye area, so bruise present. You can apply ice wrapped cloth over affected area. An anti-inflammatory drug prescribed only if pain and swelling present. If it doesn't resolve in a week then further workup was done like complete blood count, PT, APTT estimation etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
