I have a friend that has black spots on the whites of her eyes and they are from blood vessels in the back of her eye busting and that is the blood. You should make an appointment to see your eye doctor and make sure that you eye sight is not at risk. I have this, and have found it to be a)genetic, as my mother and 2 daughters have it, and b)anemia-related. See an eye doctor to discuss possible causes and treatments, if any are available.

Taken from Wikipedia: "Green eyes are the product of moderate amounts of melanin. According to some researchers, green eyes are the result of mutations that change the melanin structure. Green eyes are most common in Europe and to a lesser extent in the Middle East, Northern parts of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. 88% of the Icelandic population have either green or blue eye color". Melanin: Any of various black, dark brown, reddish-brown, or yellow pigments of animal (color of hair, skin or eyes) or plant structures.

My understanding is that it might be an issue with the liver. Research is hard to nail down specifics on this sort of situation( im getting a lot of red eye finds and convoluted bits of information

P.S. Liver issues seem to be linked to yellowish eyes, not grey/blue. Its called jaundice, but depending on the consistancey and location of the coloring i could be a varity of things.

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.
