For the past 4 months both of my eyes have had a yellow stripe across the exposed part of the white. I have tried eye drops and eating spinach, as recommended on various websites. I must stress that it is not the entire white, but only the exposed part which is yellowish. My only guess is that I severely sunburned the whites of my eyes when on vacation in Hawaii, as I spent time there in the bright snow on top of Mauna Kea [13,000 ft elevation]. However, I did not at the time experience any pain or other side effects generally connected with a sunburn.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to treat this? Yellow eye at 27 seems a bit premature.
