Corneal Degenerations
• Degenerative changes in the cornea.• Definition: Corneal degeneration refers to the
conditions in which normal cells undergo some degenerative changes under the influence of age or some pathological condition.

Distinguished from Corneal Dystrophies
As being:• Non - Hereditary and Non - Familial• Usually Unilateral • Mostly Peripheral• More frequently seen• Vascularity and Inflammation is seen.

Arcus Senilis• It is the annular lipid
infiltrations of the corneal periphery seen in the elderly.• Age – related degeneration occurring bilaterally in 60% of
people aged 40 to 60 years.• And almost all individuals
aged over 80 years.

Clinical Features• Commences as a crescentric grey or white arc in
the superior and inferior quadrant and progresses to form a ring around the cornea,
• 1mm wide ring• Lucid interval of Vogt’s – the clear zone which
separates the ring of opacity from the limbus.• Peripheral border is sharp and inner border is
diffuse.• Rarely double ring of Arcus is seen.

• It is not of importance, as it does not decrease vision or the vitality of the cornea.
• Unrelated to metabolic conditions such as hypercholesterolemia.

Arcus Juvenilis• Similar to Arcus Senilis but occurs
in individuals aged less than 40 years.
• Rare condition• Associated with
Hypercholesterolemia • Diagnostic feature: Presence of a
line of clear cornea between opacity and limbus.

Vogt’s White Limbal Girdle
• Age related which appears as a bilateral chalky white opacities in the inter - palpebral area both nasally and temporally.
• Opacity in the Bowman's Membrane.

Hassal - Henle Bodies
• Drop shaped excrescences of hyaline material projecting into the anterior chamber around the corneal periphery
• Arise from Descemet’s membrane• Commonest senile change.• In pathological changes, they become larger
and invade the central area and the conditions is called ‘Corneal Guttata’.
