Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me.
The white in my eyes are slightly darker than before, and they have a tinge of yellow especially when i'm tired. I do have a history of the problem since i was a child. My parents have consulted many doctors since i was at the age of 7 yrs and could figure out what was the actual problem. Since it was just a slight tinge of yellow and wasn't obvious my parents decided that it's harmless.
However , throughout my teenage years, friends and relatives have shown concern over the matter as it does sometimes seems to be a bit more yellow than some other days. So i thought that it might because i didn't get enough rest due to my busy schedules and assignments. And it has always been better once i get enough sleep and rest.
I'm now 28 yr old and find that the eye sclera has become more yellow than before and it does not help even if i get more than 12 hours of sleep. I'm now in singapore and have actually consulted a doctor here where they only did a LFT (liver function test) and the result turns out alright. I was then referred to the national eye centre here and they said it's a pigmentation problem (Primary Acquired Melanosis - PAM) which normally occurs for older people. As the professor who examine my eyes did not mention much I do not have a clear understanding of my condition now.
I am hoping that anyone that can help me figure out if there is any other reasons that can cause the yellowing of my eye sclera othe than pigmentation and jaundice since a LFT has been performed.
I'm do fall sick at times or maybe i'm just being paranoid. I have a gastric problem and a history migraine as well.
Hope to get some feedback and help soon..
Thanks |
