Blue Tinge to Whites of Eye

Hi there All

Just wondering for all those with Baby's with blue eyes has anyone noticed that the whites of the eye carry a bluish tinge?? Anyone know if this is normal??

TIA

Hi Dianna, hope you and Zahlia are doing well! Yes I read in a baby book that this is completely normal and often stays bluish until two or three years old. Apparently it's becuase the sclera (the tough white covering) is half the adult thickness for a couple of years and the blood vessels behind are easily reflected.

Hope that helps!
