Some people eyes have one or more threads of red capillaries noticeable all the time. If the number of the capillaries and the color do not change, it is not a disease but just the structure of the eyes. Sometimes blood capillaries can be break and blood can accumulate on the white part of the eye. This happens because of high blood pressure, diabetes, vascular diseases and other things. This blood may look very scary, but usually it is not dangerous at all. Usually, you don’t feel anything and it disappears without any treatment.
Sometimes capillaries seem to crack because of hard work, not resting well, not sleeping, after using alcohol, etc. However, specialists claim that capillaries don’t crack but they expand and become more visible. For those who constantly sit in front of computer, eyes can start feeling itchy because of dry air.
