The whites of my eyes are blue. The outer layer of the eye that gives it the white appearance (the sclera) is not formed completely in my eyes. So the whites of my eyes appear as a light shade of blue because they are somewhat translucent.
It's the same reason why newborns and infant have blue sclera. It doesn't fully form until about a year of age.
Wow. This sounds cool.
Hahaha. I'll try to take a picture when I get home. It's even more fun when my eyes get "bloodshot". They look purple instead of red.
The blue sclera are actually a common sign of my genetic disorder. It's what first got a doctor to suggest that my parents take my brother and I to a geneticist.

Can I ask what your disorder is?
Yes please. I'm so interested in this because I work with so many kids with genetic disorders.

Can I ask what your disorder is?
Sure! Marfan Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
It's also why my joints are so flexible. Collagen and connective tissue are important components to both sclera and joints.

I've heard of Marfan Syndrome, I think. Are you super tall?
I'll need to Google Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome though.
I am not sadly. Early puberty stunted my growth. I've been the same height since I was 10. 5 feet 7 inches. I was a freakishly tall 10 year old though.
My brother on the other hand is like 6'4" of 6'5".
EDS is similar to Marfan's, but caused by a defect in a different gene.

Michael Phelps really gets tested annually? If he has it wouldn't it have been found by now? Marfan is the one that causes long fingers and a caved in looking chest is that correct?
That's correct. And I have no idea why he would be tested annually. I know it's been rumored before, but never confirmed.

Yeah that doesn't make sense to me. His genes aren't changing.
I watched it with my now H and our ex-best friend and they both kept hissing in my ears. I do not like horror/suspense/thriller movies. Get creeped out and scared too easily.
