YAG Laser Treatment for Eyelid Veins?

June 9, 2010
Asked By:1323anon in boston, ma

I have a small varicose vein. I was told by an eyelid surgeon that there is too much risk for laser treatment of veins around the eye. You mentioned there are procedures where a shield is placed over the eye. How does that reduce the risk? Any suggestions on where the procedure is offered?
