Senile Scleral Plaque

Senile scleral plaque is a:

• Benign, age-related condition
• Characterized by:
  1. Calcified deposits: Yellowish or white patches on the sclera
  2. Typically asymptomatic: May not affect vision

Causes

1. Aging: Most common in older adults
2. Calcification: Deposition of calcium salts

Treatment

1. No treatment necessary: Often monitored for changes
2. Regular eye exams: To track progression and rule out other conditions

If you have senile scleral plaques, consult an eye care professional for evaluation and reassurance.
