They collect blood in characteristic \u201cwhorled\u201d patterns and exit the eyeball through the sclera (the white outer coat). Clinicians refer to vortex veins when describing normal anatomy, interpreting imaging, and planning surgery near the back of the eye. They are not a treatment\u2014rather, they are an anatomic structure that can help explain certain exam or imaging findings."}
