The prevalence of corneal arcus senilis in known insulin-dependent diabetic patients.

Abstract
Corneal arcus senilis has long implied cardiovascular disease because of its association with altered lipid levels. This study demonstrates that arcus senilis does not have a higher prevalence rate in diabetics than non-diabetics in spite of the increased cardiovascular risk in insulin-dependent diabetics.
