Yellowish spots on upper eyelids?

I was recently diagnosed with Xanthelasma or Xanthoma on my upper eyelid. I was wondering if anyone else here has these on the eyelid or elsewhere on their bodies.

Here's more info:

FWIW, I am reading studies that show low blood cholesterol levels and still have xanthomas.

No one here with Xanthoma?

I read it, and hypochondriac that I am, still can't find anything that could qualify. I tried though.

I read it too but I guess I don't have it. However, I do seem to be having a problem with dry eyes.
