Blue tint to white of eye?!


Question:

Blue tint to white of eye?

I just started wearing contacts just like 5 days ago, and when I was taking them out today I realized I have a blue tint in some parts of the white of my eyes. I don't have any other symptoms or anything, and I'm only 18, so I'm young. Is this normal for some people?


Answers:

Having a blue sclera is due to increased scleral transparency which allows choroidal pigment to be seen. (the choroid is directly underneath the sclera) It normally occurs in newborns, and abnormally in osteogenesis imperfecta, or following scleritis in rheumatoid arthritis, in which case the sclera could be so thin it could rupture (scleromalacia perforans).
Honestly hun having your sclera (white part of eye) appear blue could have many underlying causes way too many to even name. I think its best that you see a doctor about this to rule out any possible issues :)
Good luck :)

EDIT**** I read the answer underneath mine and that is pertaining to the color of your iris not sclera (white part) so it is incorrect... Also that answer was copied completely from one of my recent answers... I am soo serious check it out http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Its obvious because they made the same mistake that I did in the first paragraph 3rd last line I wrote "light" instead of "pigment".... anyways sorry just needed to point that out
