[Correlation between the corneal arcus and dyslipoproteinemia].
Arcus corneae is the degeneration of the cornea, in which are depositing in its stroma, which is clinically manifested like cloudiness which is coincidental with edge of cornea, by the corneoscleral limb, looking like white ring. During 2002 in ophthalmology cabinet in Dom zdravlja Fojnica, 32 patients, aged 54-56, with diagnosis arcus corneae were treated, which means that findings of lipoprotein fractions in serum has been made. Those findings showed us positive correlation between degeneration of cornea and raising of serums lipoproteins level, especially LDL, cholesterol, thriglicerids, and that there isn't reverse relation, negative correlation between serum's HDL and certain ophthalmology's manifestation.
