No: Veins on the white of the eye are not related to retinal lesions. However, since you had retinal tears treated, you should get regular checkups so that any lesions that my be likely to tear could be treated prophylactically.

Not a sign: I am sure you are due for a check up with your eye doctor, do not ignore it.

You are: Describing two different parts of the eye, the subconjunctival vessels ('white part') and the retina, the back of your eye. They aren't necessarily associated. If you are concerned then check with your ophthalmologist.
