Pseudogerontoxon is a lesion that resembles a small segment of arcus senilis or gerontoxon and is seen in many individuals with limbal vernal or atopic keratoconjunctivitis. It is an important clinical finding because pseudogerontoxon is often times the only clinical evidence of previous allergic eye disease.
It is a characteristic feature of VERNAL KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS, also called SPRING CATARRH.

The arcus can be eliminated with the use of l-carnosine eye drops and MSM eye drops. Each used twice a day, it will take about one year to get rid of the rings. There are no side effects.
How dose tat act
Has anyone used these eye drops? Have they worked?
Please anyone let me know if these drops have worked and if you notice any difference.
What about pseudo gerontoxon ! Is it irreversible because it's a mere fibrosis !?
