The white of my eyes aren't white

The white of my eyes are not white anymore. I’ve noticed for the last few years that they have slowly been getting brownish or yellowish and not that youthful bright white they use to be. I am only 37 years old and have good eye sight in general so what can it be and is there a way to get them back to white again?

Answer #1

You should consult your Doctor…Take care !!

Answer #2

there are a number of diseases that can do that, and the best advice is to go and see your doctor. Do you smoke, ‘cause smoking can do that too.

Answer #3

Ok that is actually due to the amount of sun and light exposure you have been taking in…wow brown…hmm maybe you should go to the doctor for that but I asked my doctor about it and he told me to wear sunglasses and limit the amount of sun light/lights im in direct contact with…maybe ask your doctor how you can get them back but I suggest wearing sunnies…

Answer #4

This could be a sign of jaundice, different forms of hepatitis or liver problems.

You need to see a Doc to have a blood test taken. You may want to lay off fatty food and alcohol in the meantime as this can put extra strain on your liver.

I have a hereditary blood disorder (goes back generations in my family) and get bouts of jaundice every few months and this is a typical sign.

The main symptoms of jaundice are:

Yellow skin Yellow eyes Dark or reddish urine Orange urine Red urine Bronze skin Loss of appetite Bitter taste in mouth Furry tongue Pale feces Foul-smelling feces Nausea Itching skin Lethargy Slow pulse Confusion

This site lists a number of reasons why you may have yellow eyes other than Jaundice:
