Diagnosis: atypically located limbal girdle

Image Comments:

The limbal girdle of Vogt is located at 9:00 o'clock and 3:00 o'clock. If looked for carefully, it will be found in a high percentage of seniors. In the photo an obvious girdle is seen inferiorly. There is a girdle superiorly, but it is indistinct in the photo. Google: limbal girdle. In Googling, you will find an interesting biography of Vogt.
