I have severely blood shot eyes and the damage seems to be permanent. I think this is likely due to a condition I had from birth until my early twenties but which I am now taking medication for. These red veins have really destroyed my self-esteem and I have had some very nasty comments. I would very much like to get rid of them. I've heard some opticians mentioning that it is possible to "cauterise" veins but then I've also read that this can cause scarring. Does anyone know anything else about this? Is it a possibility? Is it safe (I know that obviously all medical and cosmetic procedures have risks)
