Most likely normal: Uneven discoloration in sclera ( whites of the eyes) is very common. During your next annual physical get your doctor to check if he would find further workup if needed.

Scleral icterus: Whites of eyes aren't always white in everyone. Scleral icterus is yellowing of whites of eyes and can be a sign of liver problems, especially if you notice jaundice (yellow-tinged skin), cola-colored urine and/or clay-colored stool. Good idea to discuss concerns w/your Family Doc especially if you have 2 or more of above, or change from baseline.
