What cause the sclera turn brown?
There are 3 main colours that your sclera can go- red/blue/yellow. A blue sclera is usually due to a condition known as osteogenesis imperfecta. This is a genetic bone disorder which results in a deficiency in the connective tissue throughout the body. The sclera contains connective tissue. The reason that the sclera appears blue is that the sclera is very thin in this condition so you can see the underlying choroid. A yellow sclera occurs with age. This is basically due to fatty deposits in the sclera causing a yellow appearance. Red sclera means blood. This can be a result of either episcleritis or scleritis. Episcleritis is a sudden, painless redness of the eye and is easily treated. Scleritis is a gradual onset of a painful, red eye and it is considered to be of medical urgency as if left untreated, it can lead to blindness.

How do you make my sclera white?
what helps me is to wash my eyes with cold water every day and the days or months i dont it goes yellowish in colour. Another Answer Note: The whites of the eyes never need "washing" and should never "go yellow". Sclera (the whites of the eyes) that turn yellowish is often a sign of a serious disease. If your sclera or your skin is yellow, it is often a sign of jaundice and liver disease.

What the white part of the eyeball called?
The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque (usually white, though certain animals, such as horses and lizards, can have black sclera), fibrous, protective, outer layer of the eye containing collagen and elastic fiber. It is derived from the neural crest. In children, it is thinner and shows some of the underlying pigment, appearing slightly blue. In the elderly, however, fatty deposits on the sclera can make it appear slightly yellow. The sclera forms the posterior five sixths of the connective tissue coat of the globe. It is continuous with the dura mater and the cornea, and maintains the shape of the globe, offering resistance to internal and external forces, and provides an attachment for the extraocular muscle insertions. The sclera is perforated by plenty of nerves and vessels passing through the posterior scleral foramen, the hole that is formed by the optic nerve. At the optic disk the outer two-thirds of the sclera continues with the dura mater (outer layer)
Is hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice the same?
Icterus is yellow coloration of sclera - (the white part of eye that you see). This is present in jaundice.
Why would you expect the sclera of the eyes to turn yellow as a result of jaundice?
With the build up of toxins in the bloodstream and urine caused by liver malfunction, the yellow hue associated with jaundice affects the skin and tissues such as sclera. Mark you, I had a sever dose of viral hepatitis once - 3 months in hospital - and only went yellow in the latter stages of the disease.
