What are those vein-like things that you can see in your eye?

Question

Their like rediish/blackish, they really annoy me. I'm 17 years old and I notice them mostly in older folks, not young adults. So what exactly are they, what are the causes of them, and how do you get rid of them? I have them and I'm only 17!

Answer 1

are they on the white part of your eye? they're blood vessels. you are not supposed to have any blood vessels in the white part of your eye because the eye normally doesn't need them to provide oxygen like other body parts do. If you wear contacts (and you over wear them or sleep in them), you are more likely to get these blood vessels grow out into the white part of your eye because the eye is not getting enough oxygen anymore and needs blood vessels to provide the oxygen internally.

If you dont wear contacts and still have them, it might be because you are not getting enough sleep or you are stressed out. Getting the right amount of sleep will make the eyes whiter (aka make the blood vessels less visible) over time.
