Is it normal for a newborn to have sticky eyes and a greenish color without any other symptoms? Should I consult a doctor?

It is normal for a newborn to have sticky eyes and a greenish color. This may be due to a blocked tear duct, where tears cannot drain properly and collect in the eyes. This can lead to redness, swelling, and discharge from the eyes. If you notice thick yellow or green discharge and your baby's eyes are red and swollen, it is important to consult a doctor.
