Other reasons like too much production of bilirubin and blockage of bile duct in the body also causes jaundice.

Yellow coloration of the eye is the major aspect of jaundice. The rise in bilirubin levels may affect the tissues of the conjunctiva. Hence, there is a formation of yellow color in the eye.
