Currently, no operations are performed in Russia that would help whiten the whites of the eyes. Abroad, there is a surgical intervention called I brite. It consists in removing the membrane containing spots and vessels. Within 2-4 weeks, a new clean tissue forms in a person and the white of the eye becomes white. However, domesticOphthalmologists do not recommend such an operation for cosmetic purposes. Indeed, with this surgical intervention, a person has to remove he althy tissue, which can cause unpleasant consequences. Surgery is indicated only for eye diseases.
If the change in the color of the sclera is caused by congenital features, then you can disguise it with the help of decorative cosmetics. It is better to give up too bright makeup, especially reddish shades, this will only emphasize the changed color of the proteins. Brown mascara and eyeliner should be avoided as this will exacerbate the effect of tired eyes. Using pastel shades will help visually brighten the whites of the eyes. If there is a tendency to redness of the sclera, then it is better not to abuse decorative cosmetics, as this can provoke an allergic reaction.
