What Causes Yellow Discoloration Of Upper Eyelids?

I have a yellow discoloration of my upper eyelids. What is it? I have had very low cholesterol (168). I am 44 years old and have 2 kids ages 2 and 7. I stopped taking my prenatal vitamins recently and am deciding on a green drink every day instead. I just noticed this coloration a couple couple of weeks ago

it is only deposit of fat. known as xanthomatosis. can go for lipid profile. it is creating cosmatic problem. so it can be cautrised and removed. you need not stop your prenatal vitamin and mineral. can restrict deep fried things. no need of any other food restrication like taking green tea. it is not going to effect you eye in any other way. you mcan go for complete eye examination like refraction, fundus examination and IOT mesurment. with recomanded procedure the problem will be solved.
