Broken capillaries on nose and cheeks

Over the last couple years I have been getting noticeably worsening broken capillaries on my nose mainly and some on the cheeks closest to the nose area. I also have broken vessels in one eye. I am a 36 yr old male. I am curious what could be causing this and if the two are related. Any help is appreciated.

Did you or do you do a lot of sunbathing/tanning?  My doctor says that this increases the broken capillaries. Vitamin C is supposed to help a bit but a doctor might help more.  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321387  This article is pretty interesting and also suggests that one of the reasons for this increase could be due to your circulation.  I'd check in with your doctor.

Maybe rosecea?
