31 years old. I've got pinguecula in both eyes, with pink veins surrounding that never go away. I've worn contacts for 12 yrs. The veins swell & go bright red when I use contacts/shower and take a few hours to settle. As I can no longer use contact lenses and glasses aren't practical for sports, I'm wanting laser eye surgery. I know laser can make dry eye worse - will it make these red veins in corner of eye next to pinguecula flair up permanently? I use HycoSan drops and do hot compress as I also have mild blepharitis.

It is still very early in your healing process. The prescription in your left eye may change and go away as you are fully healed. Keep up with the preservative free artificial tears every two hours and try to limit computer usage.
There are lots of treatments for dry eye but in post LASIK patients unfrozen autologous serum, in my experience, gets people to recover the fastest.See your surgeon soon.
