Sadly it's against forum rules to post photographs for comment. None of us are qualified to say 100% yes or no and photographs reproduce really badly on screen so what we say may not be a true representation of what you are seeing in natural light.

The only way to know for sure whether you have any issues is to get a medical check up. Jaundice results from increased bilirubin in your blood stream so a simple blood test will identify any potential issue together with a face to face appointment with a doctor who can look at your eyes properly.

We cant' tell you anything, not qualified and to be honest the picture isn't the best. For an image of a true jaundiced eye have a look at the NHS page:- nhs.uk/conditions/jaundice/

If you are that concerned surely there is still a doctor you can access or even an optometrist who can look at your eyes. Optometrists are qualified to look at eyes with a view to other illnesses they might indicate - not just there for glasses and contacts exams.

Hi tod9, and welcome to this forum. I have removed your photo as it goes against community guidelines. As AyrshireK has kindly pointed out - photographs cannot produce accurately on screen and as no one is medically qualified on this forum, we cannot diagnose you. I'm sorry that you are feeling so worried and although your doctor is on holiday, perhaps another member of their team could help? Best wishes
