eyes are turning yellow...?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Every time someone posts on Yahoo Answers that they have "yellow eyes", 50 posters yell that they have liver/kidney 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 11 years and I've *never* seen it in any patient's eyes. not one time. 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.

A pinguecula is an inflammatory response usually from UV exposure. It is not usually dangerous. There are no eyedrops to make a pinguecula less yellow, the only real treatment is surgical excision.

while it is *possible* that you're jaundiced, if you have no other health problems & you're an adult who has had a good amount of sun exposure over the course of your lifetime, pinguecula is more likely.

Well the first thing that comes to mind is that you could be having a problem with your kidney function. And if that is the problem then you need to see a doctor ASAP because that means your kidneys are not functioning the way they should be. Under no circumstances is it healthy for your eyes to be yellow, and it can indicate a number of problems; all of which are serious if you don't get them taken care of.

Hema,this could be due to hepatitis .I am mentioning some symptoms if matches then follow my instruction. you are lossing appetite, you have burning sensation on eyes, you feel high temperature for some time in the evening, you don,t get good sleep in night.

you need not any doctor ,continue LIV-52 (Himalya) for 3 months. you will feel better within 1 week. Avoid spicy food, drink lots of safe water. Do not abuse yourself.

The probability is such that you need to see a doctor immediately, since this is serious but only possible to diagnose by an exam.

Hepatitis would be one answer.

without examine, no one know your problems then go to doctor.

Jaundice I guess, not sure. Check out with the doctor.
