Scleral icterus is a yellowing of the whites of the eyes that most classically occurs in patients with liver disease. People with scleral icterus may experience a change in color in the sclera that ranges from a muddying of the sclera to a bright yellow or orange discoloration. This phenomenon is a symptom, rather than an underlying condition, and it is resolved when the cause of the liver problems is treated.
