I have google it and came across a word called ARCUS JUVENILIS.. my son weight is around 22kg. I am very worried.. Pls go through it and do let me know..

Hii
This is not arcus juvenilis.looks like marginal keratitis. Follow the medications, it will improve. Also give special attention to lid hygiene. Follow up with your doctor regularly. The eye drops will be tapered according to the response. Please consult for more detailed review.
