Good day!

I just want to know why my yellowing of my sclera are still present. I had my laboratory tests like blood tests and ultrasound but my doctor told me that they are all normal. I am worry about this yellowing of my sclera. Hope anyone can help me out of this concern.

Thank you!

Hi Lygab, is this a self perceived yellowing of the eyes or has a doctor actually looked at them and confirmed they are yellow?

We often get people posting photos on here with self perceived yellowing & they are often looking at the far extremes of their eyes, lifting the lids etc. and in all honesty they are normal, yes not bright white (often a creamy colour) but not the yellow of jaundice either.

Jaundiced yellowing of the eyes is obvious and if your bilirubin came back normal then you don't have jaundice or jaundiced yellowing of the eyes.

Has your doctor physically examined your eyes? If you are still concerned, you may wish to re-discuss this with them?
