Jaundice is a medical condition in which the skin and whites of the eyes appear yellow. Jaundice is not actually a disease, but a symptom that can be the result of many different diseases.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, also known as jaundice. Hepatitis B is transmitted through bodily fluids such as saliva, saliva, blood, sweat or sexual activity. Hepatitis B in particular is most commonly transmitted through blood contact. Therefore, care should be taken when performing procedures such as manicure, pedicure or tattooing. Hepatitis is usually a disease that is easily understood by the yellow color of the white part of the eyes. However, other symptoms such as dryness, stinging and tearing may also occur in hepatitis B and C diseases. When these symptoms progress further, dry eye can lead to more disturbing corneal findings called corneal inflammation (keratitis). Hepatitis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of dry eye, corneal inflammation (keratitis), vasculitis (retinal vasculitis), optic neuritis (optic nerve inflammation) and eye muscle paralysis. As the disease progresses, eye symptoms increase. If “hepatitis” is diagnosed in the eye examination, the disease can be prevented from progressing to chronic stages and cirrhosis, which is more advanced. Other symptoms of the disease include diarrhea, changes in stool color, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, weakness, edema, head and body aches. Patients with ocular symptoms of “hepatitis” should be more careful in acute attacks of hepatitis in order to protect their eye health, and when other symptoms appear in the eye, they should be taken into consideration and taken into account.
