Rubbing your eyes: There may be a lot of wind and sand in your daily living environment, and your eyes may be relatively large or your eyelashes are relatively short, so there are more chances of sand and dust blowing into your eyes. At the same time, you spend a long time in front of the computer every day. These two factors cause you to rub your eyes frequently. Avoid rubbing your eyes at this time. After a while, the yellowing of your eyes will disappear.

There are two main causes of jaundice. One is hepatocellular jaundice, which is caused by liver cell necrosis; the other is obstructive jaundice, which is caused by bile duct obstruction. Yellow eyes are just an external manifestation of the disease. As the saying goes, we should cure the disease at its root. If you cure the liver disease, the yellow eyes will naturally disappear.
