No...: You should see a physician and have them do the tests that are needed to find the cause of your yellow eyes. Jaundice can be a sign of a significant medical problem and you don't want to ignore it.

No, see doctor: Jaundice and liver irritation can be caused by many things including medications and very serious liver infections. You need to see a physician to get a correct diagnosis and possible treatment. Minocycline can cause liver irritation and if you are taking this regularly you would need to discontinue it and see your physician,
