blue sclera

Hi, i have a noticable blue tint to my sclera. i didnt think much of it when i was younger because i didnt have any health problems but every once in a while someone will point it out to me and the're usually a little amazed that my sclera are slightly blue.
my question is: is normal for some people to have blue sclera without having any health problems? or is blue sclera always a symptom for some sort of disease?

You can use the search feature or go to Dr. Hagan's eye blog to read all the causes of blue sclera. If its mostly white and slightly bluish in some areas its ually just thin sclera.
