Why were the whites of his eyes bright YELLOW?!?!?
The whites of your eyes can turn yellow as a result of jaundice. (I’m thinking that contacts aren’t really big enough to make the whites look yellow.) Jaundice is a result of a buildup of bilirubin in your bloodstream, which is NOT an issue of white blood cells, as another answerer suggests. Bilirubin is the residual waste created when red blood cells are broken down (normal) and their cellular products are not properly filtered from teh blood (abnormal). This process takes place in the liver, so jaundice is an indication that the person is experiencing some sort of liver failure. Hepatitis is a common cause, as is cancer that has orginated or spread to the liver. Other causes include drug overdose, infection, liver damage due to alcohol, etc.
