Will Cholesterol Deposit In My Eyes Affect My Vision?
I am a 46 yr old female. I just had my annual eye exam & the optometrist said there was cholesterol deposits in my eyes. She asked me about my cholesterol which has always been excellent. As a matter of fact, the HDL has always been above the range. It was last tested in 06/09. Should I get it tested again ASAP or is it ok to wait until annual exam in 8/11? Could the test be a mistake? Also, will this go away if I find out that my cholesterol is high & I get it under control? If I find that my chol is normal, why would chol travel to my eyes? How will this affect my vision in the future. Thank you for your time & any help you can give me.
