Why are my eyes always bloodshot and a little yellow?

I would go to your doctor. He can tell

by a simple blood test if the yellowing is

something to be concerned about.

Under the liver, is where the gallbladder

sets. There are tube like structures,

known as ducts, where the bile flows

from "inside" the liver, to the gallbladder

to be stored and also to the intestines

to help in the digestion of fats we eat.

If you had gallbladder surgery, it may be

coming from that when it was removed...

but it could also be that the ducts may

be blocked in some way from the surgery,

or from infection starting. Anything that

prevents the flow of bile or backs the

bile up into the liver can cause the whites

of the eyes to turn yellow. There is a substance that is part of the bile known

as bilirubin which is a yellowish brown color

and it is what gives color to our stools in

the intestinal tract. Take notice to see

if your stools may appear lighter in color.

This bilirubin (in the bile) backing up into the liver will go out into the blood and your blood tests will pick it up as being at a higher level than normal.

I would definitely see about making

an appointment with your doctor to discuss

this. Just remember, the doctors are getting big bucks for their service to you, you aren't getting it for free. That makes you the boss.

The liver cells can be injured by

inflammation. As long as medication is

given and the cause of the inflammation

is removed early enough, the liver cells

can heal. If the inflammation continues

on, it can cause damage to the liver

cells.

If this was an acute condition I'd tell you to go see a doctor or optometrist.

But if this is something that's been going on for a couple years I don't think you need to worry. Your contacts may just be irritating your eyes a little. Try using some moisturizing eyedrops and see if that helps.

If you're experiencing pain or if the yellow you're seeing in your eyes is more than just a hint of color, talk to a doc.

I think you should give your doctor a call.

If your eyes are turning yellow, it usually means something is wrong with your liver. Simple blood tests will confirm a problem. It's better to be safe than sorry. Give him a call, what do you have to lose?

Yellow eyes can be a sign of Jaundice, a somewhat serious infection, but it can be cleared up with antibiotics I believe. I'd see your eye doctor or general doctor to get an opinion ASAP. Best of luck

yellow eyes are symptoms of jaundace (watch your skin later), or a liver problem, or even somthing as simple as too much of one vitiman, call your eye doc. first and get an appt. go with what he says, then call your reg. doc just to be safe

Have your Liver and Kidneys checked.

have you been checked for hepatitis
