LOL

every time someone says "yellow eyes", 50 posters yell that they have liver problems and "jaundice" and suggest an emergent/immediate visit to the E.R. or whatever.

fact is true jaundice in the eyes is fairly rare. i've been practicing 7 years and i've *never* seen it in any patient's eyes. the chances of an otherwise healthy person having enough liver problems to acquire yellow eyes is in my estimation extremely low. people with liver problems generally have many more symptoms and more health problems than just "yellow" in their eyes. by the time they are jaundiced, they usually already know they have liver problems.

of course the only way to tell what you really have that is making your eyes yellow is to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist. so you probably need an eye examination. actually you definitely do need an eye exam. b/c while i personally think jaundice is rare, it is fairly serious so you'd want to rule that out 1st.

but IMO the vast majority of people who complain about having yellow eyes have "pingueculae", not jaundice:

a pinguecula is an inflammatory response usually from UV exposure. it is not usually dangerous. there are no drops to make a pinguecula less yellow. only real treatment is surgical excision.
