yellowish sclera and liver

I take many vitamins and was told once that they can harm my liver because the liver can't process them.  (25,000 mg A & D), B Complete, C 2000 mg, E 1000 IU, Calcium (1500mg) Fish Oil
My sclera are NOT white and look yellow compared to others.  I've been to doctors for other things recently and no mention was made except that I had a cyst on my liver.  Information please?

Most yellow looking sclera is due to age, sun-damage and "pinguecula" and worse in the exposed white of the eye and the eye under the lid top and bottom look relatively white because they are not exposed.

Jaundice is deep yellow, uniform over the entire eye and can be ruled out with a biochemical panel.
