Brief Answer:
Do you have infection ?

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
If you have infection the eye is likely to be red rather than yellow.If the colour of eye is yellow for a long time this may be base colour of the eye.Infection will have irritation and discharge from the eye and will be controlled by putting in antibiotic eye drops.
Put antibiotic drops and infection if there will be controlled.Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.

Brief Answer:
Base colour may have changed

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Good of you to get back to me.
The base colour of from pure white may change to yellow,pink due to exposure to sun and dust,especially in people with lot of out door activity.This colour doesn't improve with treatment.
If there is any other reason,then decongestant eye drops may help.These are available in the market as mezol,conzol or Vasozine eye drops and should be given some time to show favourable results.
I feel your query has been adequately answered,if there is no further question then you may rate this answer.
