Is the blue-white of the baby's eyes a symptom of chronic iron deficiency anemia?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could the white and blue eyes of the baby be a symptom of chronic iron deficiency anemia?

Doctor's answer:

The white of the eyes turns blue, which is medically known as blue sclera. Its occurrence is a result of chronic iron deficiency. The mechanism of its formation is as follows: Iron is a very important substance in the collagen tissue of the sclera's outer layer. Iron deficiency can make the sclera thin. Your condition may be caused by a deficiency of both qi and blood, leading to a lack of milk production. It is recommended to use Shiquan Dabu Ointment for treatment. You can also eat more foods like pig liver and spinach, which are excellent for replenishing hemoglobin and effectively promoting milk production.
