I have chronic vessels in my eyes that have been attributed to aging, dry eye, allergies, etc after seeing MULTIPLE ophthalmologists. I have tried many treatment options and now am ready to seriously consider surgery to address the chronic bloodshot look of my eyes. I was hoping the experts on this forum who are well versed in pterygium/pinguecula removal, which is a similar surgical procedure, could comment on the safety or efficacy of conjunctival removal surgeries plus mitomycin C.
Specifically, if the surgeon uses some kind of graft (autograft vs amniotic membrane), is this a fairly safe procedure? It wouldn't be any riskier than a pinguecula removal surgery done for cosmetic reasons correct?
