EXAMINATION OF THE CORNEA
WITH DIFFUSE ILLUMINATION
Arcus senilis is a build-up of
cholesterol and other lipids in
the peripheral cornea. It
appears as a whitish or
yellowish ring just inside the
limbus. It is found in 60% of
the patients between 40 and
60 years old and almost all
patients over 80, thus is
commonly seen on
biomicroscopic examination.
