Hello
It seems from the history that you are having yellowish color of the eyes and you have undergone tonsillectomy surgery.
The yellow color of the eyes is usually seen in jaundice.
But it is unlikely that you are having jaundice hence you require eye examinationto find out the underlying causeand treatment accordingly.

Thank you
