What is the normal sclera color?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
white: The normal scleral color is white. However one looks at the sclera through the conjunctiva which may be slightly grey or tan or yellow and contains blood vessels. In addition, if the sclera is thinned , one may see a bluish slate color because of the underlying choroid.
