"I know this is not a major problem"... please reconsider that thought.

Based on your liver tests, sounds like the familiar liver condition, hepatic jaundice.. Google the word(s). My only experience about this was in a friend of mine who was suffering from organ failure, and a friend with acute Hepatitis .. it's not a funny thing. Please see a doctor (again).

My eyes never got yellow, and my liver enzymes were miraculously normal for drinking a fifth of vodka a day. I don't have personal experience on that, sorry. I did just remember, though.. I towards the end of my drinking career, I did used to wake up and check my eyes for any yellow as a guage for how sick I was, and how far 'gone' my liver might be. I was terrified to see yellow, because of what it can indicate. Amazing how sick the addicted mind can be.

Obviously none of us here are doctors, but you'll get plenty of clear information if you do some searching around for 'yellow eyes', etc.
