Yellowing of the sclera (the white part of the eye) may be alleviated by consuming foods rich in vitamin A. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to visit a reputable hospital for liver function testing. Liver disease can lead to elevated bilirubin levels, which may also cause yellowing of the sclera. In daily life, proper eye care is essential—avoid frequent late-night activities.
