Eye problems? Would like to know what it may be?

Hi All;

I'm new to the community and looking for a bit of help in determining what I may have concerning my sclera. At the moment I see fine, very close to 20/20. However the problem is with my sclera where it has been dicoloring and having a brown tinge to it. I would like to know what is causing it, since I never had this problem before and is very unsightly when I see it. People cringe when they see my eyes which pushes me to want to resolve this problem that much more.

Attached I have a few pics of my eyes - 1 is the eye showing the discoloration below the iris. 2 is the upper eye which remains white. 3 is the normal exposed part of the eye which is the normally visible part of the eye.

Please any suggestions would be helpful...

Hi Dr. O

Thanks much for the information - can pigmentation cause the eye to get yellowish brown? It's very uncomfortable to look at...

This is pigmentation and a normal variation.  It can not be removed.
