Patient's question:
Is a two-year-old child's relatively blue fundus due to wind?Doctor's answer:
Recently, I just heard that blue sclera could be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. Hmm, since I saw it online, I'm not too sure, but it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up and have a blood test.Blue Eyes — Early Symptoms of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children
A mother couldn't bear to let her 4-year-old son watch TV. The reason was that her son had poor health to begin with, and he often watched TV, to the point where his eyes turned blue. As a result, the child started crying and fussing, even turning his previous picky eating into complete refusal to eat as a protest—and his eyes became even bluer. Here, "blue eyes" refer to the sclera appearing light blue under normal, natural lighting. In fact, this bluish sclera is not caused by watching TV but is an early sign of iron deficiency anemia.
