How could the whites in the eyes become yellowish ?!


Question:

How could the whites in the eyes become yellowish ?

What causes it, and how to cure?


Answers:

If you are older, the whites of your eye can change to yellow or brown. It is a result of years of exposure to ultraviolet light, wind, and dust.

You can also have jaundice. Jaundice is a yellow color in the skin, the mucous membranes, or the eyes. The yellow pigment is from bilirubin, a byproduct of old red blood cells.
It arises for many reasons, including blood incompatibilities, blood diseases, genetic syndromes, hepatitis, cirrhosis, bile duct blockage, other liver diseases, infections, or medications.
