No one here is qualified or allowed to comment on photographs or offer potential diagnosis plus lighting on photographs can be deceptive too so we can't help sadly. You need to go and see a doctor who can check you face to face plus carry out blood tests which can tell you whether your bilirubin levels are raised - which is what causes jaundice.

Hi GUERAJ13

Unfortunately no one on this site is medically qualified to assess your eye. We would suggest that you see your own doctor who is best placed to safely advise you.

Best wishes

As both have said here its really a simple blood draw to find out of your billirubin is high. If its not than its not jaundice. As a possible peace of mind though, unless you had gilberts syndrome which is harmless, it would be very unlikely youd have jaundice as your only symptom of ailment. For us with liver disease, wed have all sorts of symptoms before jaundice would set in. Take a day and get to the doctor and get it sorted out. You can usually get the answer the same day.
