The center explained that this sign is the presence of a whitish-gray color in the shape of a half-moon (crescent) on the outer surface of the cornea, indicating that this shape is a sign of cholesterol accumulation in different parts of the body.
He added that in addition to the appearance of the unique crescent shape in the eye, there are other signs of high cholesterol in the blood, which are bumps around the knees, joints or elbows, swelling or pain in the Achilles tendon, and yellow areas around the eyes.
And he indicated that high cholesterol is a very harmful condition for our body, and therefore it is not called the “silent killer” in vain because this fatty substance can accumulate over time without us noticing it and cause a dangerous blockage that leads to a heart attack or stroke.
In the context, researchers recommended that any early warning signs of cholesterol accumulation should be dealt with immediately, whether by lifestyle changes such as healthy eating or more exercise.
