Do you know the name or cause of these small yellowish "things" on the inside corner of my eyes. My Dr. says it's cholesterol deposits.

That would pretty much be what they are. The can be anywhere around the eye, under the skin or inside the eyelids, and even surrounding the colored part of your eye (iris).

But it never hurts to get a second opinion from another doctor or eye doctor.

if its on the SURFACE of the white part of your eye its probably PINGUECULA...an inflammatory degenerative process usually from sun & wind & heat exposure:

not dangerous, just unsightly.

if its on your eye-LID or the SKIN around your eye it could be pantheism:

highly, highly unlikely to be "jaundice"

Pingicula, you might of had a misunderstanding from your doctor especially if it was a GP, Pingicula happens from light exposure, Jaundice happens late in hepatitis B so if it was jaundice you would already know you have hepatitis.


Good luck
