Normal: Veins on the temporal area and around the eye (periorbital) are common findings in many people. They tend to become more common with aging and there are also genetic reasons. They can also be more prominent during exercise, stress or increased hydration. Nothing needs to be done about these unless for strictly cosmetic reasons.
