Hi,

I can understand your concern for blue vein starting from eye and slowing rising to hairline. You have not told your exact age and any other systemic illness like hypertension or blood sugar.

It appears to be prominent temporal artery on the right side of temple area. It is quite common to find this type of appearance in post middle aged persons.

You just go for your blood pressure check so that hypertension as a cause of the prominent artery can be ruled out.

Take care.
