Cat's eye reflection different, red spot after scratch. Is it normal?

Question

My cat has recently scratched his own cornea, we gave him some drops as prescribed by the doctor and went for a check up before stopping the drops. however now i see that the reflection of the injured eye is different than the other and there is a little red blood vessel spot on his eye (iris) should I be concerned? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 11 lbs

This could be a normal result of a healed corneal scratch, however it would be best to have your veterinarian take a look at Felfel's eye to ensure he does not need continued eye drops. Often times blood vessels will appear over the cornea to help the eye heal after a scratch. However, with any eye issue it is always best to have a veterinarian take a look to err on the side of caution. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best of luck to you and Felfel!
