Asteroid Hyalosis. This is a patient in her 50's. Asteroid Hyalosis is usually asymptomatic, but as in the case with this patient, she does report seeing floaters in this eye. Usually it is in one eye but may be in both eyes in some patients. It does not need to be treated. It may be associated with diabetes and hypertension, but not always.
