The cornea arcus senilis or hardening of the arteries in the brain

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        The 63 - year - old hu old man, normally very neatly. After the Spring Festival, he suddenly found himself eyes eye cornea edge, a gray circle ring, appearance similar to "surrounding the black-eyed ring". At first he didn't too care about, but recently a headache, nausea, physical activity barriers, the phenomenon of decreased vision, check to the hospital suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis.

        "In the past, people put the old rings as common age-related physiological decline sex change, but in recent years, medical research shows that 'old ring and cerebral arteriosclerosis have a close relationship." Fuzhou air force 476 hospital director of neurosurgery Yuan Bangqing said. Edge of the cornea itself has no blood vessels, want to rely on sclera rich vascular network supply moisture and nutrition, and the cornea is abnormal material easy to deposit, when the blood cholesterol and three acyl glycerol lipid content is too high, excessive lipid peroxide, the cornea is difficult to absorb, gradually on the edge of the cornea deposit, on the edge of the cornea to form white, translucent or opaque ring change, about 1 ~ 2 mm wide, pale ring formation, medicine called "cornea arcus senilis".

        Moreover, elderly ring there may signal the body lipid metabolism disorder, hyperlipidemia in ocular manifestations. Hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factors, cerebrovascular disease and closely related to cerebral arteriosclerosis. Which can be concluded that people with elderly ring hyperlipidemia, at the same time there may be different degree of cerebral arteriosclerosis. The resulting cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction and cerebrovascular accident mortality is very high.

        So, although the old ring does not affect the eyesight and vision, no special treatment, but the elderly once found cornea edge appears "old ring", must not think anodyne and taken for granted. If found to have brain atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and should prevent stroke. (Wu Zhi)
