The veins of the lower eyelids - also known as Vento Blandes) - are important veins that provide blood flow to the brain and other parts of the body. The inferior eyelid vein is an important artery for eye and facial health as it supplies blood to the eyelids and surrounding tissues.
The inferior eyelid veins are branches of the superior eyelid vein, which begins on the upper eyelid between the eyebrows and passes under the skin to the eye in the orbit. The branches of the inferior vein also begin on the upper eyelid, but descend below the surface of the skin to reach the orbit.
One of the main functions of the lower eyelid veins is to maintain the flow of blood from the tissues near the eyes to the cardiovascular system. Without proper blood flow, this area can become susceptible to infection, swelling, and decreased metabolism. Additionally, the lower eyelid bears a greater burden of tension and compression when closing and opening the eye, and therefore , may be susceptible to pain or injury. However, any disruption of the veins can make it difficult to eliminate toxins and waste, which can make these tissues vulnerable. This has led to the development of various diseases related to the lower eyelid veins and their functions. Some of these diseases such as venous diseases, hemophilia and blepharoptosis
