The white of the eyes turning blue is medically known as blue sclera. This sign is mostly caused by chronic iron deficiency.Medical advice: Iron is a crucial component of the collagen in the outer layer of the sclera. When iron deficiency occurs, the sclera may become thinner, covering the dark blue choroid underneath, which makes the white of the eyes appear blue. Chronic iron deficiency also inevitably leads to iron-deficiency anemia. Patients with moderate to severe anemia often have blueish-white sclera.
