A member asked:
Should i take any precautionary measures if i have a prominent vein in my left upper eyelid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A prominent vein should not cause any problems. Direct trauma is unlikely, as the rim of the eye socket protects this area. However, if lid surgery or Botox injections are planned, the surgeon should be careful to avoid the vein.
