SCLERAL PREPLAQUES AND PLAQUES IN ESKIMOS
View through CrossRef
Examination of the eyes of 519 Eskimos in West Greenland revealed preplaques (grey, ill‐defined, translucent bands on the sclera anterior to the insertion site of the horizontal recti) in 4% and scleral plaques (well‐defined, greyish translucency of the sclera) in 2%. The incidence was found to rise with increasing age.Preplaques are more rarely present in Eskimos than in Copenhagen Caucasians, where the incidence of plaques is the same. The cause of this ethnic difference is discussed.
