Angular vein

Vena angularis · Úhlová žíla

Veins

Looks like

A short vein beside the nose at the inner corner of the eye, where the veins of the forehead come together.

What it does

Begins the facial vein, and connects with the ophthalmic veins inside the eye socket.

Keeping it well

This link lets infection from the nose area reach the veins behind the eye. Do not squeeze spots there; a spreading red painful swelling needs a doctor.
