Sore red veins in eye?

A few weeks ago 4 red veins popped up in the corner of my eye out of nowhere. After a few days, they completely went away. But awhile ago I got an eyelash in my eye, in the same area the veins were in. I used the tip of my finger to get the eyelash out, and then a short while later the red veins popped up again. They feel sore and when I tried using eye drops, it burned, so I stopped. Will they go away? Should I use eye drops, or just leave it alone until it fades on it own? Does anyone have any idea why these veins popped up?

Thanks for your time

Leave it alone. If the eyelash was rubbing on the eye that is likely to be the cause. If so should go away over a couple of weeks.
