Corneal arcus (HP:0001084)help
Term ID: 1084
Name: Corneal arcus
Synonym: Anterior embryotoxon; Arcus juvenilis; Arcus lipoidis; Arcus senilis; Corneal annulus; Gerontoxon
Definition: A hazy, grayish-white ring about 2 mm in width located close to but separated from the limbus (the corneoscleral junction). Corneal arcus generally occurs bilaterally, and is related to lipid deposition in the cornea. Corneal arcus can occur in elderly persons as a part of the aging process but may be associated with hypercholesterolemia in people under the age of 50 years.
