There is no clear disease that jumps out with these lab values.  

The CBC does not show significant abnormalities, and the metabolic panel is non-revealing.  The liver enzymes show mild elevations in the AST and alkaline phosphatase.  

You can consider imaging the liver to evaluate for anatomical liver disease given the lab abnormalities.  

Regarding the eye complaints, obtaining another opinion at an academic medical center can be considered.

However, I cannot think of a diagnosis that unifies the symptoms and lab results you have mentioned.  

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
