Asteroid Hyalosis

Star hyaloe is a rare condition that produces a cluster of small crystals that resemble a star shape in the eyeball. This is not a life-threatening defect, but can cause discomfort and reduce the quality of vision. Star-shaped hyaloid lesions can occur in both adults and children. These deposits of tiny cholesterol crystals can result from inherited or acquired metabolic disorders. Treatment for star hyalosis may include special diets, lifestyle changes, and drug therapy. Some cases of hyaloid "stellate" are temporary conditions that go away on their own, while others are permanent. Stellate hyalosis is caused by genetic factors, so patients who are highly sensitive to cholesterol (or “atherogenic” cholesterol) may be at increased risk of developing stellate hyalosis. Typically, star hyaloids are visible under a microscope, where they appear as small, star-shaped deposits of crystals. In advanced cases, these deposits can become visible to the naked eye and cause glare and distortion of perception. Although star hyaloe is rare, it is important to be aware of the possible symptoms and treatments for this condition.

**Star Hyaloe (also known as Hyalite) is a rare, non-serious, but unpleasant vision defect.** Star Hyaloe causes the accumulation of unnoticeable microscopic crystals within the tear film, causing a foreign-looking shine to the eyes. This defect appears as inclusions in the form of small granules on the lower border of the pupil or in the area of ​​the upper eyelid. Eyes may appear blue. Although star hyaloe is not an eye-threatening condition, it can noticeably affect vision. This condition can occur in anyone, regardless of age, gender or
