A member asked:

I have blue sclera in my right eye only.. it has been blue since i was born. i have no other symptoms. is there any treatment for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: The sclerae appears blue when it is thin. What makes it appear that way is the deep layer within the eye, called the choroid. This layer is between the retina and sclera, is dark and vascular, but makes the thin sclera appear blue.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
