The appearance of yellow in the whites of the eyes generally means that you may have a case of jaundice. The best way to find out if this is true is to consult your doctor. The doctor will administer a blood test in order to confirm this possibility, and will then suggest an appropriate course of treatment. Jaundice is itself only a symptom, of which the yellow eyes are only one part. Jaundice also causes the urine to become dark in color, and causes the stools to become light in color. The yellow tinge can sometimes extend to the skin and the mucus membranes as well.

The underlying causes of jaundice are varied, and the treatment also varies accordingly. The causes may be due to some infection that has affected liver function or hemoglobin breakdown. If this is the case, the infection will need to be treated, while taking precautions so as not to strain your liver or your system in general. Some genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia can also lead to jaundice, and the treatment is of course very different in such a case. Jaundice could also be an indication that a person has liver problems such as hepatitis or alcoholic liver disease. As you can see, many of these conditions are very serious, so prompt medical treatment is extremely important.

When suffering from jaundice it is extremely important to avoid stressing the liver any further. You should therefore completely avoid consuming alcohol; this practice needs to be continued for several months, till your liver function is completely back to normal. You should limit your intake of fats, as fatty, greasy food requires bile, and thus consumption of these foods puts a strain on your liver. Instead, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You should avoid processed foods too, as they contain various additives and preservatives, many of which are best done without. It is also advisable to avoid excessive spices; bland food is better, at least for a few weeks. Lemon juice and sugar cane juice are supposed to be very good for the body when recovering from jaundice and you should try to consume these juices daily. Bitter gourd is one vegetable that is also supposed to be very good for the liver, and you can either eat the vegetable or drink its juice. However, be warned that the vegetable and the juice are both extremely bitter.
