Yellow areas in the iris or colored area of an Oscars eye is normal enough. Some have that some don't but it's nothing at all to worry about, just normal coloration.

It could be something very natural to your fish, dont get upset, the best thing to do is to add some epsom salt to the water and do 25% water change on a regular basis for next 5 days and see what results comes out.
As far as I know there are no eye yellowing disease in oscar fishes. Plz dont worry.

The Oscar fish who's Latin name is Astronotus ocellatus are marked with very irregular pale yellowish streaks and blotches. However, I do not know whether these spots are found in the eyes or just on the body. So I would advise you to go to your local aquatic centre and ask them. Sorry that I couldn't help you fully.

This doesn't sound like anything very seroius, but just to be safe you could buy some Melafix which is anibacterial medication that would help your fish if it was sick. Look it up at Petco.com or Petsmart.com for more information.

It is probably a reaction from a cat fish if you have any they can cause problems such as these.

I don't think it is desperately serious but buy some antibacterial treatment* and it should be fine
*you can buy it from pets at home
