I am a 22m with no past medical history and after retinal imaging with my optometrist today, she noted a small red spot along a vessel - could this be a microaneurysm? the optometrist described it as 'pigmentation' and didnt seem overly concerned?

Since you have misgivings about your optometrist's opinion, get a second opinion from a Board Certified ophthalmologist.
