The deposits near your eyes could be xanthelasma, which are yellowish cholesterol deposits. In addition to your current cholesterol medication, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a statin medication like atorvastatin to further lower your cholesterol levels and help reduce the deposits. The dosage would depend on your specific condition, so please consult your doctor for the appropriate prescription.
