What are The Causes of Yellow Eyes?
1. Yellow eyes show an increase in the number of fluids produced by your body whether it be tears, mucus or you are suffering from water retention. This condition is referred to as ‘Oedema’.
2. It can also be a direct result of deposits on the eye muscles that prevent normal drainage of fluid back into the bloodstream.
3. Another cause could be due to infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye). The treatment for this yellowing will depend on the underlying cause and the severity of the problem at hand; it could range from antibiotics to surgery if needed.
4. Vitreous loss- A tear in the retina allows vitreous fluid and cellular debris to collect beneath it. This will cause a scar to develop on the retina, which can lead to vision loss.
5. If your eyes look yellow due to jaundice it may be a sign of liver disease or other problems with the bile ducts in your body. The good news is that this condition is caused due to anemia and blood clots.
In cases where it occurs as a result of gallstones or pancreatitis, your treatment would depend on how severe those diseases are. Experts recommend surgery for these types of conditions as they could end up causing further complications later down the line if left untreated.
6. Other causes include an abnormally high amount of bilirubin in the bloodstream, drug side effects like certain Parkinson’s medications or medications for tuberculosis, use of steroids that are taken orally, high levels of myoglobin in the blood due to kidney failure.
7. Cancer:- The eye color can change with the influence of cancer if it is present in different parts of the body including bones, muscles, and joints like osteosarcoma (bone cancer).
8. Very dark brown eyes can be a sign of liver disease. If your eyes look yellow because you have hepatitis or cirrhosis, there may also be some swelling around your eyes which means you might also see dark patches on portions of your skin around your nose and mouth area.
This is known as jaundice and while investigations will determine what treatments are needed to treat this particular form of yellowing, the good news is that it only has a mild effect on your vision.
9. If you have been exposed to high amounts of radiation in comparison to the normal amount of exposure your body gets through everyday life this can also result in the yellowing eye which may not be visible immediately after exposure but will become apparent over time. The effects of radiation are increased when combined with smoking. This combination results in the destruction of skin (xeroderma pigmentosum) and hair (radiodermatitis).
10. And finally if you notice an increase in eye floaters-little spots or strings like material floating around the inner part of your eyes, this could mean that you need to get cataract surgery because of changes in the lens of the eye-causes the floaters.
These are some of the causes of your yellow eyes; however, it is recommended that you get your eyes examined by a doctor if you notice any changes in your eye color. As far as home remedies for yellowing of eyes are concerned there isn’t much that helps; however,
some people have reported positive results with these techniques:
1. Use organic castor oil to clean your eyes at night before going to sleep. This will help in removing dirt and grime from around them which is often one of the reasons for increased mucus production leading to a change in the color of the whites or cornea.
2. Vitamin B1 or Thiamine:- It has been observed that the deficiency of vitamin B1 or thiamine may also result in eye discoloration. Some good sources of this nutrient are whole grains, milk, and some fresh fruits like bananas.
3. Lutein:- It is one of the most important nutrients that you need to improve your vision; however, it will also help in improving its overall appearance by reducing inflammation and swelling under your eyes. You can find it in spinach, kale, and carrots or you can take it as a supplement.
4. Vitamin C:- It will improve the appearance of your eyes as well as help remove cataracts from them. Some sources include citrus fruits, berries, cabbage, and peppers.
5. Use rosemary oil for once a day application around the eye area to make sure that it stays clear and healthy.
6. Apply vitamin E oil around your eyes to minimize puffiness and fine lines under them as well as make sure they look more vibrant giving you a younger look!
7. Aloe Vera:- Use fresh aloe vera gel on the skin near your eyes every night before going to sleep keeping away from your eyes until after 20 minutes when it has dried up. You can also eat the aloe vera gel but this might not be very palatable to some people!
8. To reduce inflammation, swelling, and puffiness under your eyes mix 1/2 teaspoon of horseradish in 1 cup of cucumbers or apples. Let this sit for 15 minutes before applying it on the skin to around the eye area.
9. Warm milk is great for getting rid of puffy eyes; however, you need to let it cool down so that it won’t irritate your skin.
10. You can get rid of puffiness under your eyes by massaging the area with two drops of castor oil mixed in spring water every day especially at night before going to sleep if you are trying to get rid of black circles too!
11. Peppermint also helps in reducing puffiness under the eyes if applied on the skin around once every night before going to sleep; however, you must be very careful not to let it touch your eyes.
12. Tea bags:-Chamomile tea is one of the best ways to make sure that your skin remains healthy and safe by ridding off dryness and irritation especially when used over the eye area at bedtime-it opens up skin pores which can lead to infection or even worse! Use warm water-soaked overnight chamomile tea bags for 20 minutes for this purpose!
