My sclera is of brownish colour, what causes this as i do not smoke or drink?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discolored eyes: If uniform color, may be hereditary, espeically if afroamerican. However, if isolated area, may be due to previous bleeding (subconjunctival hemorrahge). Should see eye care provider, slight, slight possiblity could be more severe condition.
