Does a yellow-ish tinge mean blisters on your eyes?

Question

I heard someone talking about it in my class, that if the white of your eyes are tinged a yellow-ish color it means they're blisters or something? I wear contacts, and I get that sometimes, but I don't think that means blisters. Does anyone know what it does mean?

Answer 1

it likely means pinguecula:

it probably does not mean jaundice, which is what a bunch of people are probably about to answer lol
