Visual Signs That You Actually Have Health Problems

White Rings Around Corneas in Eyes

White or white-ish rings around the cornea of the eye are known as arus senillis. It is relatively normal to see this in people over 30 but it is more worrying in younger people as they are a possible sign of high cholesterol.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes from two sources: your body and food. Your body, and especially your liver, makes all the cholesterol you need and circulates it through the blood. But cholesterol is also found in foods from animal sources, such as meat, poultry and full-fat dairy products. Your liver produces more cholesterol when you eat a diet high in saturated and trans fats.

If you are under 30 and can see this then don’t let it pass by without doing something about it. You may want to contact your doctors office to consult with them. It may take some time to book an appointment with your doctor so be sure to give yourself plenty of time.

This is not a symptom you want to hide from. Be conscious of your health and make sure you take proper care of your vision. Eyes are a very important part of the human body.
