Symptoms of high blood lipids: look at the eyes

There are many symptoms of hyperlipidemia. When you suspect that your blood lipids are high, you should first go to the hospital for a formal examination to understand the cause, and then take symptomatic methods for treatment and conditioning. You can also discover some problems through some symptoms in life. For example, after suffering from hyperlipidemia, the patient's eyes often show some symptoms. Through these symptoms, you can find some clues. At this time, you should go to the hospital for further examination in time.

Symptoms of high blood lipids: look at the eyes

1. Eyelids: Check for "xanthomas". If middle-aged and elderly people, especially women, have new yellow, orange or brownish-red patches or nodules on their eyelids that are painless or itchy, they are likely to be xanthomas. It often grows at the inner corner of the upper eyelid, and may also appear on other parts of the face or on the knees. It is the size of a needle tip or a soybean, with edges slightly higher than the skin surface and a soft texture. 2. Black eyeball: check if there is an "age ring". If a grayish-white ring-shaped structure about 1 to 2 mm wide appears on the edge of the black eyeball, it is called a senile ring. Senile rings often occur in elderly people with arteriosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia, and sometimes young and middle-aged people with high blood lipids may also experience them. Young people under the age of 40 who develop senile rings should pay more attention and go to the hospital for examination in time. It should be noted that only some patients with hyperlipidemia will develop xanthomas and senile rings. The absence of xanthomas and senile rings does not mean that there is no hyperlipidemia. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to blood lipid levels during routine physical examinations.
