What Causes Yellow Bloodshot Eyes While On 'visine'?

my son has been using visine 2 x a day for a month or so..He stop using it be/c his eyes look more bloodshot now and shinny with a light yellow color under the eye lids too..He is 22..doesn't do drugs but got really drunk with alcohol drinks a week ago that was a one night thing..doesn't drink all the time either..once in awhile..but after that night his stomach has been off as well ..greenish color stools that now have cleared up now..some heartburn gas off and on..feels better but his eyes look a little yellow..not his skin..only the whites of his eyes a little..and bloodshot..still wondering if the visine did that and maybe he had a little stomach upset all week that went away now..but why does his eyes have a slight yellow bloodshot look? that is what I am worried about..he eats healthy mostly organic vegtables and organice meats..not fast food..exercises everyday a the gym..a little over weight always was that is just his big built..I am worried about his eyes be/c I keep reading about liver problems..him and I do get IBS now and ahve to watch what we eat..I ahd given him some enzyemes for his stomach that I take once in awhile I got a the vit. store..some herbs in it.. he jsut took that a couple times but now stoped that too.... I have a nephew with gilbert's syndrome but my son never had syptoms..jsut now a little yellow in his eyes..my son has allergies with his eyes..that is why he used visine so much but I never knew he used it that much until now! could the bloodshot look fade to a yellow look in his eyes as well?

Hi
You have correctly suspected about liver problem.
He has yellow coloration of white of his eyes.greenish stool once a while.occasional alcohol.
He may have jaundice.Let us rule out.
LFT investigation should be done. Better if Australia antigen also.You will get the answer.
Better not to delay.
It is unusual with visine.
I find this answer helpful
