A member asked:

Hi, i have just recently noticed several new veins in the whites of my eyes, is there anyway to treat this?

Eye irritation: If they are new then you need to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist. They may represent nothing other than simple eye irritation or could be a sign of underlying disease presentation or drug reaction.

Eye veins.: Veins forming in the cornea (white of the eye) can occur for many reasons but lack of sleep and exhaustion are two common reasons. Usually a topical eye drop such as visine which is over the counter can help. If the veins do not improve with simple treatment and rest then see an ophthalmologist .
