How to Whiten the Sclera of the Eye
Having bright eyes can have a major impact on how well-rested you look, and on your overall impression. Lack of sleep or environmental irritants, such as smoke or fog, can cause the eyes to appear bloodshot or red. Over-the-counter eye drops contain the active ingredient tetrahydrozaline hydrochloride, which causes the blood vessels in the eyes to constrict, reducing the appearance of redness and making the whites look whiter.

Tips & Warnings
Using blue mascara can also make the whites of the eye look whiiter
Do not use eye drops to whiten the sclera on a regular basis, as the eyes can build up an immunity to the active ingredient. Do not insert contacts directly after using eyedrops, as the lenses can absorb the product. Wait 15 minutes before applying contacts. Do not touch the eye dropper to the eye. This will contaminate the dropper and the eye drops if inserted back into the container. If the dropper touches the eye or any other surface, dispose of it immediately to avoid introducing infection.
