Generally speaking, there is a possibility of getting scleral icterus when people have yellow eyes which means the whites of the eyes take on a yellowish tinge, a sign of jaundice caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin which is normally processed by the liver and released into the intestine in bile before being excreted from the body through the feces is a yellow-colored pigment that is produced by the breakdown of old red blood cells. There are many reasons for yellow eyes, such as bile duct narrowing or obstruction due to gallstones or pancreatitis, cancer including that of the liver and pancreas, cirrhosis which is liver scarring due to a variety of liver diseases, drug-induced cholestasis to slow of bile flow, hepatitis caused by alcoholism, medications or infection, ischemic hepatocellular jaundice due to a lack of blood or oxygen reaching the liver, pregnancy-induced obstruction of the bile ducts and so on. It is better to go to the doctor's for an overall examination to find out the cause of your yellow eyes as soon as possible in case of it worsening.
