What Causes Yellow Tinge In Eyes?
Question: Hello,
I began to notice this yellow tinge in my eyes the other day. It's only appearing around the very out edges of my eyes and not in the middle. Is this normal? I have attached a photo. I've no idea why the skin around my eye is purple. It must have been my camera. The yellow tinge you see in the eye is how it appears in real life though.
I have a history of sleeping with my eyes open a little bit so I don't know if that's related some how.
