What Causes Yellowing of the Eyes?
Disease description:
Recently, I’ve noticed that my eyes have become unusually yellow, although my vision remains clear and I don’t experience any discomfort. My eyes weren’t this yellow before, and I’m concerned that something might be wrong internally. Could you please explain what causes yellowing of the eyes?

Hello, yellowish discoloration of the sclera (the “white” of the eye) is primarily caused by irregular daily routines and prolonged exposure to radiation-emitting devices such as smartphones. If you notice yellowing of the sclera, it is essential to rest your eyes promptly and avoid exposure to intense or harmful light sources. In subsequent management, gentle eye massage and application of prescribed eye drops may aid gradual recovery. Additionally, avoid overusing your eyes during the recovery period.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
