A member asked:

My eyes, right eye more than left, seems to have red veins in outer corners, some days it appears better, but it comes back, no other symptoms but sometimes feels a bit irritated, could this be from makeup?? is this bad? scared of glaucoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry eye: increased size of blood vessels in episclera and conjunctiva which vary and are unassociated with other visula symtoms are not from glaucoma. Most likely from dry eye. Try a non-preserved artfiicial tear drop.

A member asked:

Hello, I have had my left eye watering constantly for perhaps a week now, and wiping away tears/discharge has now irritated the skin around my eye. Also, it has been painful to press on the inside corner of my eye for quite a few weeks, and I am unsure if this is related. I thought this could be allergies as my head does feel stuffy intermittently, but my new red eye socket (not the eye itself) has motivated me to ask. Thanks, Logan Left Eye Watering?
