Is it normal for newborn jaundice to have a bluish tint in the eyes?

Patient's question:

My daughter has jaundice but she can eat and sleep, so I'm not too worried. I haven't given her any medication, just let her sunbathe every day. Today I noticed that her jaundice has caused her eyes to turn blue. Is it normal for newborn jaundice to cause blue eyes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, the white part of the eye is blue, which indicates that the child's condition is very mild. This is a normal phenomenon. The child is very young. It's like this. I suggest you don't worry. This condition should gradually return to normal. I'm not sure. I can go to a local regular hospital for a check-up to see the results of the relevant tests and analyze them, then take appropriate measures for treatment.
