General physician: I assume you went to storefront optometrists who found your vision to be fine. But if your eyes have become yellow recently, then it is possible that your liver might be at issue. Your personal, general physician can diagnose this, provide therapy and/or referral to a liver specialist for treatment. You should do this soon especially if you are feeling ill otherwise.
