Yellow eyes ? - Eye & Vision Message Board

Kramerica · 04-01-2002, 07:42 PM

It seems that no matter what I do, my eyes are always yellow around the edges, and some kind of discharge builds up at the corners that are close to my nose.
Does anyone know what might be the problem, and what I can do ? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Kramerica, when u say yellow eyes , do u mean the whites of your eyes? If so , the first thing that comes to mind is jaundice.

Yes, the whites of my eyes only around the corners. If I look at mirror and turn my head to the side, then I can see that there is some yellow color, but sometimes my eyes are clear, and eyes are never completely yellow.

hi again, I'm not a doctor ,but as i said before the 1st thing i think of is jaundice. Due to an increased amount of billirubin in the blood.Sometimes newborns have it. have u noticed any skin changes?ie yellow tint ? either way i would (if possible) have it checked out. The not knowing would drive me crazy!

No, my skin is fine. Theres no yellow tint to it, although I do have mild acne which is clearing up. But is there a way to reduce the amount of billirubin in your bloodstream ? And what exactly is jaundice ?
