What causes read dilated vessels in a child's eyes?

Question

Hello,

My daughter is 2 and a half, until she was 2 she had pure white eyes, then a number of red vessels appeared suddenly for apparently no reason.

My doctor said it was an allergic reaction to possibly dust and extremely common, but they've never gone away and I can't stop fussing about her eyes and don't want them to get worse.

We also got antibiotic eye drops but the doctor said not to use them much to give her immunity the chance to develop. Net searches always yield more serious conditions like conjunctivitis or possibly eye strain, she has a maximum of 20 mins television a day and regularly has days with zero screen time.

What can have caused this kind of thing and how can I prevent it getting worse?

Best answer guaranteed, thanks,

Jeremy
