Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My eye looks kinda yellowish. It's not clear and white, normally like others. And I noticed brown spots around my eyeball and it seems like my eye colour is fading, it's not as brown or dark as it should be. Ive recently been advised by my GP to get an ultrasound done to check my kidneys as I've had recurrent UTI and a escalating high blood pressure. Could this be connected? What's the probability I've damaged my kidneys?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
Normally the eye consist of two visible portion 1. Dark or colored portion in the center known as cornea 2. white portion on sides of dark portion known as Sclera
As per you mentioned your sclera must become yellowish. Yellow sclera can be a sign of jaundice, which is caused by an increase in the level of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Which occurs due to conditions that cause liver damage or dysfunction such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis etc. So, In this case you should visit a physician
If the yellow discoloration is just involving a small part of the white part of the eye, then you should visit an ophthalmologist.
Hoping your query is solved. Get well soon.
