High cholesterol: These changes in your eyes can be a cause of concern, especially after 45.

New Delhi: High cholesterol is a condition characterised by abnormally high levels of cholesterol – a waxy substance in the blood – that threatens heart health. This may trigger plaque accumulation in the arteries that could raise the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or chronic heart disease.

However, for those aged 45 and above, there is a peculiar symptom of high cholesterol that may appear in the eyes.
