Don't worry: There are a variety of patterns of the superficial blood vessels over the whites of the eyes. Some are thin, some thick, some straight and some wavy. You have probably observed a normal pattern for you and certainly if there was a problem the eye exam you had 6 months ago would have detected a problem.
