Get LFTs done

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Most common cause for yellow discoloration of eyes is involvement of liver. I would suggest you to once get liver function test(LFTs) done to rule out any hepatic cause. If its rules out then second possibility is conjunctivitis.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
