Eye vein way worse and moves on my eyeball?

[Katewest]

Today was a stressful day at work and I had blood drawn for the MRT test. Those are the only two out of ordinary things I did today. When I got home and looked in my 15x mirror and the vein that is in my eye looked redder and seemed to move up and down on my eyeball when I pressed the lid against it. I don't think its ever done that. What does that mean?

Hi Kate,

Have you checked your blood pressure?

I wouldn't worry to much. It's probably just on the surface and not permanent.. Like the conjunctiva is irritated by something. I would put some tears in, rest your eyes.. It'll go away, or fade.

The veins do often move (depending on the person & the vein) because they are so close to the surface. Don't worry bout it, not worth it.

My eye vein looks a lot less red today…. I guess it was just stress…and maybe high blood pressure. I have xanax but hate taking them. thanks for the replies.

Kate how are you doing on the restasis? You still using it?!

[Katewest]

I stopped Restasis about a month ago because I didn't think it was helping and making my eyes burn more.
