Welcome to my Blog

Basically, interested reader, this blog is to document my journey to discover the clinical  significance of the presence of an arcus juvenilis.  I want to know what to advise a person to do if he or she exhibits and arcus juvenilis - does it matter if you are 50? 40? 30? Are you going to die young or have cardiovascular disease? Should you tell your relatives? Is there any link to posterior blepharitis or Meibomianitis?  I keep hearing different advice, so I am going to do a litereature review and see if the questions have been resolved, or if there are open questions that some PhD can follow up.
