If you’re one of millions who’ve recently watched Michael Jordan’s new Netflix series The Last Dance, one of the first questions you ask yourself is: “What’s up with Michael Jordan’s eyes?”.
ESPN’s hit docuseries The Last Dance has cemented that fact in all our hearts and minds that Michael Jordan is a legend—but for some viewers, it’s also started a discussion on Jordan’s health.
Viewers of The Last Dance have taken to Twitter to talk about the yellow tinge of Jordan’s eyes in interviews, speculating that it could be as a result of potential health problems.
“Also, someone please check on Michael Jordan’s eyes,” one person wrote. Another said: “I, too, find his eyes concerning.” Many other people on Twitter have expressed the same sentiment: “What’s going on with Michael Jordan’s eyes?”
Does anyone know why Michael Jordan's eyes are red? This is troubling in The Last Dance…and never mentioned. I'm assuming he's fine, but I've never seen this before. pic.twitter.com/dnC79dL2En

However, VICE spoke to an ophthalmologist, who said he couldn’t diagnose Jordan without assessing him personally”
“Yellow eyes should not be ignored because they are a sign of something more going on,” Dr. Val Phua said, adding: “Yellowish discoloration of the eyes may be more obvious in a dark-skinned individual compared with someone who is fair-skinned.”
However, making a very valid point, Express said that “Jordan’s eyes have looked yellow for the better part of the past two decades.”

So there you have it folks, nothing to worry about.
