Xanthelasma appears as yellow patches around the eyes, primarily on the upper eyelids. This can be a sign of high cholesterol. The accumulation of these patches could indicate an increased risk of heart disease.
If you notice these marks, it is wise to inform your doctor to check your cholesterol levels and assess the condition of your heart.
Senile arcus
An arcus senilis is a deposit that forms on the edge of the cornea, often seen in older people. However, its presence in younger people can indicate severe dyslipidemia, that is, unstable levels of fat in the blood.
Note this sign and consult a specialist if you notice this bow before an advanced age.
