A member asked:
My husband just turned 60. the whites of his eyes are a gray cloudy color. is this natural? i am older and my whites are clear!

This is normal: As some people age, the sclera becomes thinner and the inner structures of the eye can be seen.

Variable coloration: As we age, there is quite a bit of variability to the coloration of the whites of the eyes. Some patients can have a yellowish tint, some are bright white, other have a lot of vessels, and other can appear grayish. The grayish coloration is often due to underlying veins and/or pigmentation beneath the sclera.
