Accepted Answer

Cholestrol levels: It will be helpful to see the report and your under eye lesions. Eating healthy is always a good idea. Under eye lesions could be freckles, warts or xanthomas. Sometimes xanthomas persist even after cholesterol lowers. In that case you could see a dermatologist for treatment.

Question 2

how do i get rid of unsightly cholesterol ring in the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Arcus senilis: I presume you are referring to a whitish grey ring in the cornea that appears all the way around the colored part of the eye. Most commonly this is not due to cholesterol. It is a normal finding in people as the age, called arcus senilis. It can be a sign of elevated cholesterol in people younger than 45. It is more visible/noticeable in individuals with dark coloring of the eye.

Question 4

i'm 47 years old,earlier my eyes are turning tumor,what is the reason?i did tests and cholesterol is high is this the problem or it's another problem?

Accepted Answer

Eye tumor?: Hi. Eye tumors need IMMEDIATE attention. Vision may be lost! Very few types of high cholesterol can cause deposits in the skin AROUND (not IN) the eyes called xanthelasma. If you have a tumor IN the eye, an ophthalmologist must have diagnosed it. PLEASE follow up with that, or another, ophthalmologist. This could need immediate attention. Good luck!

Accepted Answer

Visual disturbance: Sometimes small blood clots can be sent to your brain, or a brief constriction of a small cerebral artery,  which may cause what is called a "transient ischemic attack" (TIA).  This can be a short non-recurring event with no after symptoms, but if it recurs or if you perceive additional symptoms, get a referral to a neurologist for an exam.

Question 10

i recently had a eye exam and lipids were found in my cornea but my total cholesterol is 178.. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Nor really: As long is your cholesterol is normal then there is no worry.  If it was high then you need to treat your cholesterol level.  The deposit called arcus which is harmless.
