People with liver disease have yellow eyes.

People with liver disease may not necessarily have yellow eyes; this depends on the specific cause of the liver condition.

Although yellowing of the eyes is a common symptom in patients with liver disease, not all such patients will develop this symptom. Common types of liver disease associated with yellow eyes include acute hepatitis A, acute hepatitis E, acute or chronic hepatitis B, acute or chronic hepatitis C, autoimmune liver disease, and alcoholic liver disease. The yellowing typically results from elevated bilirubin levels in the body. When excess bilirubin cannot be properly excreted, it leads to jaundice, causing yellow discoloration of the skin or eyes. However, the severity and presentation can vary significantly among individuals. Patients noticing yellowing of the eyes should seek timely medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause through appropriate diagnostic tests and receive targeted treatment accordingly.

Patients are advised to maintain healthy daily routines and avoid chronic sleep deprivation. In terms of diet, they should avoid high-fat and high-sugar foods. Quitting smoking and abstaining from alcohol can help prevent further liver damage.
