Objectives: To describe the characteristics of the sclera blood vessels at the 12 o'clock position and study the sensitivity and specificity of the scleral blood vessels through eye observation method in diagnosing neck and shoulder pain due to cervical spondylosis.

Sensitivity of 85.3% of right eye and 82.1% of left eye. Specificity was 85.7% in the right eye and 81.0% in the left eye. Conclusion: The blood vessels were towards the pupil or broken, the large size of the base, the light red color and the small rash were common characteristics. The scleral blood vessels through eye observation method had high sensitivity and specificity
