Question : hello my wife is saying my eyes are yellow to me there just red
Brief Answer:
Probably jaundice, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I reviewed the attached photo.
I agree with your wife that the conjunctiva looks yellow.
The yellow conjunctiva is usually caused by liver issues.
I recommend doing some examinations for further evaluation.
I suggest:
-A complete blood count
-Liver enzymes
-Total and direct bilirubin
-An abdominal ultrasound
I also recommend a consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, it's recommended to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine or alcohol which can trigger the liver function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!

could this have occured do to drinking alochol the day before and waking up feeling dehydrated?
Brief Answer:
It does not seem to be related to alcohol consumption one day before.
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Jaundice is caused by the buildup of bilirubin in the system.
It usually needs some time and it is more related to a chronic condition.
So, I don't think that it can be related to alcohol consumption one day before.
If you consume alcohol regularly, it can cause a liver damage and jaundice.
Hope it helps dear,
