A member asked:

Sclera (white of eye) is a bluish grey color, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Thinning of the sclera can result in the pigmented layer of the retina showing through. Mild thinning is of no concern. Extensive thinning can be a problem. This usually appears very dark in appearance.
