I too suffer from major red veins and have looked desperately for new medicines to come up. Unfortunately, most the literature on Avastin seems to be for corneal neovascularization which is a lot different than conjunctival neovascularization. The cornea(center part of the eye) normally is avascular and vessel growth affects vision. Only the recurrent pterygium studies actually look at this drugs effects on the conjunctiva. But this is preventing new vessels from growing into a recurrent pterygium, rather than eliminating vessels that are already there.

I actually asked my eye doctor last visit to ask a colleague who uses Avastin for retinal application whether its been applied to conjunctival redness and he said it hasn't really been studied for that.

Here are my sources, I've been digging up information about topical low dose avastin and it seems to look promising to people who suffer from red veins like I do and don't want to go through the dangers of eye surgery or its costs... check it out, Was this ever talked about before? if not then why not? I found posts about the surgeries like iBrite but these procedures to me seem so SUSPECT like deleting the negative feedback from patients who had this before on their websites etc and its vast dangers, no studies absolutely nothing.
