You understand correctly. This is not to say that seniors shouldn't have routine body checks with the family doctor because the risk of many diseases do increase with age.

@@hamizishah3177 If the corneal arcus only recently developed, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to run the blood test again. If you had the blood test during the time you already have the corneal arcus, then I wouldn’t be as worried. Just keep up with routine eye and body checks to be doubly sure there are no signs of underlying systemic diseases.

If it looks like any of the pictures presented of corneal arcus in this video, then it likely is. As described in the video, you may need to have it checked out sooner than later depending on what your age is. If in doubt, it is always the safest to see the optometrist rather than guessing around.
