I've been spending a lot of time under the heat of the sun and my eyeballs are not white anymore. is this bad?

Yes: You need to wear sunglasses which provide 100% uv protection. Sun exposure damages the conjunctiva, causing the development of abnormalities such as pingueculae and pterygium and also plays a role in cataract formation.
