Dr. Mike, 
I got an 8 month girl with dark blue eyes she has a blue

haze covering her whites of her eyes is this bad?

Hello,

The blue color that you're seeing are the blood vessels under the surface

of the eye.

Just like a vein under your skin looks blue, so do blood vessels under

the eye. 

There is a very rare condition called "osteogenesis imperfecta"

which can have this sign.Osteogenesis imperfecta is a disease in

which the bones are very brittle, and break easily. But, I would doubt

that your baby would have this.

As your daughter gets older, her eyes, skin and bones will get thicker

and stronger,and her "blue haze" will most likely go away.

Just to be on the safe side, ask your doctor to examine your

baby for osteogenesis imperfecta.

I hope that helps. Dr. Mike
