A member asked:
Please explain what it means when the sclera part of your eye is blue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin sclera: Normal sclera is opaque and quite white. If it thins out for some reason, the underlying pigmented uvea adds a bluish hue to the sclera at that point. Things that thin the sclera are certain inherited conditions like ehlers-danlos or trauma, elevation of the eye pressure in the young and some chronic inflammatory eye diseases.
