What can cause a headache and a violet-colored vein in my eye?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Based on your symptoms, it seems you might be experiencing a condition called conjunctival ecchymosis, which can cause a visible vein to appear in the eye. This could be due to several factors, such as:

1. Trauma.
2. Infection: Viral or bacterial infections can sometimes cause this condition.
3. Hypertension: High blood pressure may lead to visible changes in the eye, so it is worth checking your blood pressure.

I would suggest you take the following steps:

1. Check your blood pressure to rule out hypertension.
2. Look out for any recent trauma to the eye or any flu-like symptoms that could be related.

Treatment:

1. Apply 0.1 percent Neomycin eye drops twice daily for one week to reduce any infection risk.
2. Apply 0.1 percent Dexamethasone eye drops once daily for one week to help reduce inflammation.

I hope this helps.
