This educational illustration shows a newborn with yellow eyes—one of the key visual indicators of jaundice in newborns. It also includes a diagram of the liver, highlighting the role of bilirubin accumulation in causing the yellow discolouration of the skin and eyes. Newborn jaundice is common in the first week of life and often results from the baby’s immature liver struggling to process excess bilirubin. While mild cases typically resolve without treatment, severe jaundice can require phototherapy or further investigation. The image simplifies this condition for easy understanding by parents and caregivers.
