Why are the whites of my eyes not white?

Eye Disease?: It is not natural for the 'whites' of our eyes to be truly pure white.The white covering, or conjunctiva has many blood vessels within it. Many eye conditions may contribute to irritation of the eyes and increased redness!

Eye color: Yellow eyes can sometimes be a sign of liver disease, while having brown areas within the whites of the eyes can be a type of freckle. An eye exam by a physician should be done to evaluate these possibilities.
