Welcome to HCM. Please define your "sclera" problem. Due you wish to whiten it, is it blue, yellow or dry? Please be more specific.
Yes, vitamins are used for certain eye conditions. However, it is not a shot in the dark approach. Please discribe your symptoms, when they started, medications and supplements on currently and what you mean by "sclera' and we will have more information to go on to provide you an answer to your specific question.
Thank you. Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN
