    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??

    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!
