I have upper eyelid veins and was wondering where I begin in my search for treatment. Do I go to ophthalmologist, dermatologist, oculoplastic surgeon, plastic surgeon? My ophthalmologist isn't aware of any treatment. He recommended a little makeup, but for a man this doesn't seem like a realistic option. I have read that lasers would be my best bet. How safe is this procedure (of course wearing metal scleral lenses)? Is it worth the risk or better to leave alone? Thanks for your help.
