Red veins corner of eyes

I seem to have faint red veins in the corner of my eyes. I noticed this last week and havnt worn my contacts. The thing is I don't feel any pain,itching or burning. I wore my contact lenses on sat for a few hours and they seemed ok, had slight discomfort with my right lense. I went to my GP and they said there was nothing wrong and it was caused by allergies and that it should heal upon their own, but it's been a week and they havnt. Nonetheless she gave my some eye drops for dry eyes. What could my condition be ?

First of all everyone has veins on the outside of their eye its how the blood gets back to the heart. Second 99% of the time its the contacts. Discuss with your contact lens fitter.
