I have yellowing of the eyes as well. It's gotten worse with age...It started when I was 23-24, now I am 38 and it covers the entire visible area ( used to be white area) of both my eyes.
I am told the condition is called pinguecuela or ptygerium and is only reversed with surgery.
I know ... it's unattractive and potential employers and bf's always ask about it. :(
