Genetics: If your scleare are hyperpigmented but not icteric, most likely is due to genetic transmission. if your scleare are injected and reach in vascularities then they will improve with proper sleeping habits. make sure there is no infectious process. Genetic scleare hyperpigmentation will not improve with proper hydration and sleeping habits.
