Image Comments:

Asteroid hyalitis is also called asteroid hyalosis and Benson's disease. The photo does not capture the beauty of the ophthalmoscopic view of the scintillating particles suspended in the vitreous. However, in subdued surrounding lighting, particles can be seen throughout the anterior vitreous in the photo.
