Small patches of blue sclera are commonly seen normally also.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr Dadapeer an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
Blue tint in the white of the eye indicates thinning of the sclera. The visibility of the underlying structures through the thinned sclera gives the appearance of blue patch.
If the patch is small then no need to be worried. The thinning of the sclera and bluish appearance is seen in refractive errors, increased axial length of the eyeball.... Rarely in case of extensive blue patches over sclera we need to rule out collagen vascular disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, osteogenesis imperfecta....
However small patches of blue sclera are normal and no need to be worried.
If possible please send me the photo of the eye so that I confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.
Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
