Abstract:
Asteroid hyalitis is an uncommon condition in which small, solid, stellate, spherical or disk-shaped bodies are suspended in a substantially normal vitreous. The opacities occurs in strands or as discrete bodies without orderly arrangement. These move when the eyes move but always return to their original position. The authors experienced one case of asteroid hyalitis associated with arteriosclerosis and hypertension. so we report this with brief review of the literature.
