A member asked:

What causes itching eyes and discoloration of the white area from bright white to yellowish white?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shouldn't be yellow: Your eyes shouldn't be yellow. This is concerning b/c it's a sign of jaundice, which could indicate liver problems (among other things). I'd check this out with your doc soon - especially if you're having other symptoms like fatigue, nausea, or any abdominal pain.
