Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is well known to be associated with blue sclera due to thinning along with skeletal deformities. Not all cases of OI have blue sclera despite having a thinner sclera than in normal individuals. We are presenting a case report of a 28-year-old girl with intermittent exotropia and OI with no evidence of blue sclera. On AS-OCT, scleral thinning was noted at the level of medial rectus muscle insertion. The patient underwent successful recession-resection surgery for the same. The thin sclera and OI need not deter the decision to operate on squint, and a successful squint surgery is possible in eyes with some amount of scleral thinning with careful suturing.
