Hello, yellowing of the eyes can generally be categorized as either non-pathological or pathological. Aging is one of the key factors contributing to yellowing of the eyes, often causing them to appear dull and yellowish-hazy. Additionally, excessive eye fatigue may lead to fat deposition in the eye area, which can also result in yellowing. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
