Corneal arcus presents many puzzling features. The correlation between its incidence and serum lipid levels is poor and, using immunoelectrophoresis, we have only been able to identify low-density lipoprotein inconsistently in corneae containing this deposition. Infrared thermography has shown us that arcus commences in the warmest regions of the cornea. We have considered the possible relevance of our biochemical and thermographic findings to other problems with corneal arcus such as its irreversibility, anatomical distribution, and clear zone.
角膜弓呈现出许多令人困惑的特征。其发病率与血脂水平之间的相关性较弱，并且通过免疫电泳，我们仅能在含有这种沉积物的角膜中不一致地识别出低密度脂蛋白。红外热成像显示，角膜弓始于角膜最温暖的区域。我们已经考虑了我们的生化和热成像研究结果与角膜弓的其他问题（如不可逆性、解剖分布和透明区）之间可能存在的关联。
