What typically causes blood vessels in eye to become engorged?

Not normal: Engorged blood vessels in one or both eyes is concerning. It may represent a tumor behind the eye compressing blood vessels, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease or blood vessel disease. This is something that should be checked out right away by your ophthalmologist.
