A member asked:
Is it normal for a few tiny thin veins when touching the iris?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cant say get checked: If the vessel are on the top of the sclera it may just be from eye irritation , however if the vessels are in uvea in the chamber with the iris it could be something serious. In any event it is best to check it out with an eye doctor.
