Corneal arcus and serum lipids were studied in 121 men, aged 30 to 80, with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD), and in healthy controls. In both groups the incidence of arcus increased from 55% in the fifth decade to 90% in the eighth. Under 40, arcus was a significant differentiating
The corneal arcus consists of cholesterol, phospholipids and triglycerides. As serum triglyceride is one of the accurate of lipid metabolic state, greater importance was given, and it was found to be elevated in 72% of patients and a positive correlation with increasing age. This suggests a strong
A corneal arcus is a lipid deposition mainly consisting of cholesterol and phospholipid. Its prevalence varies in different populations and races, increases with age and is greater in the male. Earlier studies related the presence and severity of a corneal arcus to plasma lipid levels and linked it
Introduction: Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD) is a rare, autosomal dominant, anterior stromal dystrophy described as progressive bilateral corneal opacification due to abnormal accumulation of cholesterol and phospholipids in the cornea.
A 67-year-old man complained of impaired vision at night for several months. He was known to have arcus senilis (arcus lipoides corneae) since aged 21 years. For the last 20 years both corneas had become progressively more cloudy. His mother was said to have had similar eye changes. Ophthalmological
We have studied a large family of 95 members with a defect in the metabolism of cholesterol, which is transmitted through three generations. The following characteristics of the family support the classification of the disorder as familial hypercholesterolemia : hypercholesterolemia, increased
