A member asked:
I think i have blue sclera, my eyes have a blue line going threw the white in my eye... i went to the dr and he said it was iritis but is red.pls help?

Blue: If truly blue, could be a sign of scleral thinning or osteogenesis imperfecta. Folks with oi may be more susceptible to eye trauma. Classic iritis will cause eye pain, blurred vision, and light sensitivitity with red eye. You will need eyedrops to help this resolve. Make sure you see an ophthalmologist to treat this condition.
