Non-white scleras can be normal or a sign of systemic disease. I would recommend getting it checked.
Are you asking why your sclera looks “muddy”? That can be from a variety of things. A pinguecula is a elevated growth in the white part of your eye that can be white, yellow, pink ir even red if inflamed. Jaundice can cause the sclera to look yellow, due to a build up of bilirubin. Some people have patches of brown pigment called melanin on their sclera as well.
You have dry eye syndrome and Vitamin A and Vitamin D deficiency. You must compensate all those deficiencies.

There are many conditions that can affect the color or the integrity of the sclera. My best suggestion would be for you to make an appointment to see an eye doctor. This way the sclera can be viewed under a microscope by a trained doctor to be sure that there either is, or is not something to be concerned about.
The website above gives some information about the sclera. Good luck and best wishes.
