Yellowing of the eye could be associated with a condition known as "jaundice." At the most basic level, the yellowing is caused by an increase in a compound known as bilirubin in the blood. This isn't in itself a disease, but a sign of some underlying medical problem. Common conditions associated with jaundice include the excessive breakdown of red blood cells, sickle cell anemia, severe infection (malarial, etc.), liver disease, pancreatitis, and gallstones. Jaundice should ALWAYS be evaluated by a physician to identify the underlying issue.

Now, if only ONE eye is turning yellow, the underlying condition may only be isolated to that one eye, as in the case of unusual breakdown of red blood cells in this one particular eye. Regardless, this should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible.
