Cholesterol Screening

How can an optometrist spot high cholesterol during an eye examination?

A yellow or blue ring around the cornea.
A yellow deposit in the blood vessels of the retina.

These are signs that indicate high levels of cholesterol throughout a patient’s body. If not monitored, this may become the precursor to a life-threatening stroke and high blood pressure.
