Acrylic Blox : Illustration of arcus senilis condition of the eye
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Illustration of arcus senilis condition of the eye
Arcus senilis. Illustration of a close-up of an eye showing the condition arcus senilis, in which a grey-white circle in the periphery of the cornea occurs around the edge of the iris. Arcus senilis develops due to an infiltration of fatty material (hyperlipidaemia) in this iris region of the eye. The particles floating around this image represent the lipoprotein infiltration that consists of the following varied elements: triglyceride (purple); phospholipid (green); cholesterol (yellow). Most elderly people develop arcus senilis. The ring never spreads to the iris centre, it is not related to health, and vision is unaffected. This condition in the young is termed arcus juvenilis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of arcus senilis, a common condition affecting the eye. The image zooms in on an eye, allowing us to witness the presence of arcus senilis firsthand. A striking grey-white circle encircles the periphery of the cornea, delicately framing the edge of the iris. Arcus senilis occurs when fatty material infiltrates this specific region of the iris due to hyperlipidaemia. To visually represent this infiltration, particles float around in vibrant colors within the image: purple for triglyceride, green for phospholipid, and yellow for cholesterol. Interestingly, most elderly individuals develop arcus senilis as they age. However, it is important to note that this ring never spreads towards the center of the iris and does not impact vision or overall health adversely. The artistry behind this medical illustration beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a valuable resource for ophthalmic professionals and those interested in understanding various eye disorders. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an insightful visual representation that educates viewers about arcus senilis while showcasing its artistic value. This print truly exemplifies their commitment to delivering exceptional medical imagery without any commercial intentions.
