A member asked:
Diagnosed with classic ehlers danlos with crossover yesterday & was wondering if blue sclera is associated with all eds types or just vascular type 4?

EHLERS DANLOS: It is mostly affecting the joint hypermobility, dermal hyperelasticity and tissue fragility.This hereditary collagen disorder of 5major types are hard to classify. So blue sclera might be limited to vascular type 4.2.

Any type: Although more common with type 4, this can occur with any type due to thin or weak collage over the vascular area of the eye which shows through as a blue area.
