You are right with the sclerae. That is what I first thought to, but when I saw the skin, I was not sure, so I had to ask to clarify.

sclerae
Subject: sclerae

''Sclerae'' is plural (I'm trying to think of an example of the -ae ending we use everyday to help you remember, but all I'm coming up with is ''antennae'' and most people say ''antennas'' so that doesn't help...). Luckily, most things to do with the sclerae involve both eyes, so you should be safe almost always using the plural (man, I have now spelled that twice as ''pleural''!) unless the doctor specifically mentions just one eye.
