Question

 

 

Hello,

I have pink vein that are from both and right of my eye ball, I wonder if this is a disease.

The pink veins appears to go towards my Iris, but instead of into, it goes around my iris. This is happening in both of my eyes and the symptoms are Irritation (itchiness).

I am wondering if this is a disease?

Thanks

Thanks for your Question

 

 

It seems that the accident that you had at age of 5 was to your eyebrow not your eyes, which is good. This red vein in the white part of your eye is a normal variation of eye blood vessels.

Sometimes it appears more visible due to redness, fatigue and allergic condition. Try to use lubricant eye drops and in case you didn't see any improvement, call your eye doctor.
