Hi, my father has some trouble with the eyes. It is some kind of degeneration of the eye we have never heard before. The doctor says it is called asteroid hyalosis. My dad went to regular eye check when he was told that he has that disturbance. He had no severe symptoms except some small shadows in vision sometimes. Can you tell me something about asteroid hyalosis?

It is rather rear condition and that is why you didn't hear about it. It is a form of degeneration in which the calcium soaps the aggregate in vitreous body. It is not clear why is it happening. It is more often in males then females. Treatment is not required except if poor visualization of the fundus causes retinal diseases.
