A member asked:
My opthamologist wants to cauterize a red vein on my sclera. is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be: I am guessing you have a vein that is unsightly or perhaps bleeds a little too much. Cauterizing this will prevent the bleeding or eliminate the vein. Cautery is one of several ways to deal with this. It is superficial and should be safe.
