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.

What is the sentence before and after that? Sclerae has to do with the eye.

sclera vs sclerae
Subject: sclera vs sclerae

I always get mixed up with these 2. Is someone able to help clear up the difference for me (which one is singular and are both okay to use in reports)?

Thanks!

Maybe sclerae-gray test, that would be more for neurological, but maybe a possibility.

I am sure sclerae and scabies do not sounsd alike, but she said the doc said skin, so I took a guess

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.
