Blue Sclera and Iron Deficiency Anaemia- A Case Report

Abstract

Blue sclera is associated with congenital and hereditary diseases like osteogenesis imperfecta, Marfans syndrome, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Van der heave syndrome and incontinentia pigmenti.¹ It has also been reported in autoimmne conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, polyarthritis, relapsing polychondrtis and granulomatosis.² It is due to thinning of the collagen fibres and increased transparency of the underlying uvea seen in conditions having defective type 1 collagen formation.
