Anyone treat arcus senilis, eye problem?
No. Arcus senilis is a gray, white arc or ring that forms around the cornea of the eye. It's very common in older adults. It doesnot cause problems with vision and does not need treatment. People with inherited, extremely elevated cholesterol levels may have a similar white arc around their cornea. Treatment for this is aimed at lowering their cholesterol. See your dr if you are worried about this.
