A member asked:
I am a darker skinned individual and my eyes are slighty yellow. for example, i have a yellow ring around my pupil. is it hereditary? are there any eye drops that i could take to make the whites of my eyes whiter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No drops: Some darker skinned individuals have yellowish sclerae (whites of eyes.) Others may have a hereditary condition called Gilbert's disease in which serum bilirubin is elevated and causes slight yellow tinge. No drops will help. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
