What Causes Yellowing of the Eyes?
Disease description:
Today, while looking in the mirror, I noticed that my eyes appeared yellowish, which looked rather unattractive. However, I’m not experiencing much pain. Could you please tell me what might cause yellowing of the eyes?

Dr. Wang Qingqiang
Hello, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) may result from chronic smoking and alcohol consumption leading to hepatitis-induced jaundice, or it could be due to cholestatic hepatitis, which also causes skin and eye discoloration. It is recommended that the patient visit a hospital for evaluation, including urinalysis, liver function tests, and complete blood count. Once the underlying cause has been clearly diagnosed by a physician, timely and appropriate treatment should be initiated. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
