Red veins and sometimes yellowish spots on the whites

[zetrel]

Hi,

I've started having a more prominent red veins in the whites sometimes accompanied with yellow-ish spots beneath the veins. Is this within normal range or should I schedule an appointment with my doctor?

Nothing in those photos looks pathological. You should have regular eye exams by an Eye MD ophthalmologist and ask her/him to look at areas of your concern.

The yellow spots are usually sun damage to the outer layer of the eye, more common as we get older, more common as sun exposure increases (e.g. more common in Florida than Michigan) and how much time you spend in the sun with or without protection (Hat and uV blocking sunglasses)

Thank you so much for the answer Dr.Hagan.

I appreciate you taking the time and answering my question.

Have a great rest of the weekend!!

And zetrel,  my appreciation for saying "thanks'  I spend a lot of time over many years doing this for free.  If posters came to me or other physician as a patient would be very expensive. Over the years I would say about 5% of posters take the time to say thanks.
