Arcus Senilis: What It Is and How It Can Be Treated Aesthetically<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Arcus senilis<\/strong> is a white-gray ring<\/strong> that appears around the outer edge of the cornea. It is very common in people over the age of 50 and is generally a benign, age-related<\/strong> finding that does not affect vision.<\/p>\n

Why Does Arcus Senilis Occur?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It results from lipid and cholesterol deposition<\/strong> around the corneal periphery.
If seen at a younger age, it may indicate high cholesterol or triglycerides<\/strong>, and a blood test is recommended.<\/p>\n

Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n

    Is There a Treatment?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    There is no eye drop or medication<\/strong> that can remove arcus senilis.
    Since it does not harm vision, treatment is usually unnecessary.<\/p>\n

    Aesthetic Treatment: Keratopigmentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Performed at Ka\u015fkalo\u011flu Eye Hospital (Turkey).<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For patients who are cosmetically bothered by the appearance of arcus, keratopigmentation<\/strong> can be used to camouflage the ring<\/strong> and restore a more natural eye appearance.<\/p>\n
