Honestly, I’ve never heard of someone’s blue sclera getting suddenly worse before. Interesting!
I think I have already reported that I don’t have blue sclera, well guess what – I DO !! – but it’s only a recent thing. Believe me, I would know if I’d had it before, as I have been photographing and videoing the weird things that happen to my eyes for years.
Another strange thing about it, is that it’s only one strip of one eye. I heard an explanation of blue sclera (maybe from your book!) as being a thinning of the top layer, where the eye is white. So is this perhaps another collagen related thing ?

Hi Barbara.
How are you? My kids and I have blue sclera, but like you I did not notice it until this year. I find there are times when it is more obvious than others. Like when I have a bad headache. Maybe it is because my eyes are more blood shot. I brought up the kids blue sclera to their Pediatrician, mind you this is before I knew I had Ehlers-Danlos, and he told me that it was common occurrence in kids because they have thin sclera. I was fine with that until I learned about eds. Plus, combine it with all their other symptoms, and I know it is more than the kids have thin sclera. So I think your theory is right, and it is a collagen thing. Plus blue sclera are seen a lot of other connective tissue diseases.
