dry eyes and partially yellow

by tanny123, Jul 26, 2007 12:00AM
for the past few weeks i noticed that both my eyes feel dry  and they are yellow at the middle but completly white at the top under my eye lid. the funny thing is when they are exposed to sunlight they start to water and i feel a burning sensation in them .Is it liver damage or just a reaction to the sunllight

Liver damage and 'jaundice' tends to make all the eye yellow. If it's white at top and bottom and yellow in the part between the lids that usually is sun damage.

Nevertheless you should have a comprehensive medical eye examination by an ophthalmologist (Eye MD)
