Question 9

my family member lives in africa and she has had yellow eyes for a long time could liver dis. or jaundice be a possibility. any eye drop recommended?

Accepted Answer

Yes, No. See MD: Some dark skinned people have "muddy sclera" darker than usual whites of the eyes-not jaundiced, but sometimes hard to tell. Yellow eyes, skin, (mouth, bowel, vaginal tissue) sign of liver and/or bile issues. Eye drops don't fix this. Needs to see a doc. Lots of potential causes.

Question 10

a little doubt: does only mild yellowing of the eye and no yellowing of the skin (from bile duct obstruction of a gallstone) indicate mild jaundice?

Accepted Answer

: The white of the eye is the area where any jaundice would be expected to show up at lower levels, since the color stands out better against a white backdrop than skin with deeper tonal variation.
