Mild yellowing of the sclera accompanied by visible blood vessels may result from excessive fatigue and deficiency of the liver and spleen, conjunctivitis, or prolonged wear of contact lenses. In daily life, ensure adequate eye rest, avoid staying up late, and limit extended use of electronic devices such as smartphones and computers. Maintain a nutritionally balanced diet. If additional symptoms arise, consult a qualified physician at an accredited hospital promptly.
