What are the treatment options available to get rid of a permanent dilated vein in the eye?

November 2, 2014
Asked By:chila in La Canada Flintridge, CA

Where can I get this treated? This is a deep vein that has been there for years and is visible, (approx 2inches). I have seen a webpage online of an eye doctor who claims to be able to "seal dilated" veins in the eye, however, she fails to provide information on the procedure and how it is performed. Can anyone provide information on what this procedure entails?
