Brief Answer:
not jaundice

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

This is not jaundice.
Jaundice manifest with yellow eyeball in all its parts diffusely. In your case there is just minor localised yellowish eyeball which can be seen normally in healthy people or can be sign of some benign conditions such as xantelasma.
So you dont need to worry at all.
