I’ve been dealing with this strange yellowing in my sclera—basically, my whites turn yellow after I spend a long, grueling stretch working at my computer. Does anyone have advice on what to do about this?
Just to clarify, my vision is perfectly clear and I’ve already gone in for a checkup with an ophthalmologist; they confirmed that I don't need a new prescription.

So, how’s your liver holding up lately??

Look at me, 😕 😲 I honestly hadn't even thought of that!!!
Thanks! I'm heading to my doctor tomorrow to grab a referral for some liver function tests (that should be plenty to get things started).

And mine are frequently yellow, too.😕

But what if my liver is actually perfectly fine?

Based on those tests, it looks like your liver is totally fine.

The other possibility could be some issues with your bile ducts, like a blockage.

So, can cigarettes actually cause this?

Maybe you just have Gilbert's syndrome. It’s incredibly common, and most people aren't even aware they have it. It's essentially a metabolic issue where certain liver enzymes aren't functioning quite right.
