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.

Gastroenterologist: yellow eyes or jaundice could indicate a liver abnormality. Some people are born with what is called Gilbert syndrome, a benign condition with induces yellow eyes when the body is stressed.
