“…Bergren [ 3 ] and coworkers performed a cross-sectional study of 12,205 patients and reported patients with AH were more hyperopic than control subjects. Studies have shown that patient with AH presented with stronger vitreoretinal adhesion [ 18 , 19 ]. One explanation is that the complete posterior vitreoretinal interface may be important for the formation of asteroid zona pellucida.…”

Background To determine the prevalence and associations of asteroid hyalosis (AH) in a Chinese population-based cohort. Methods The retrospective, cross-sectional, population-based Beijing Eye Study 2011 included 3468 individuals with a mean age of 64.6 ± 9.8 years (range: 50–93 years). Participants underwent detailed ophthalmic examinations including fundus photographs for diagnosis of AH. Data on systemic and ocular factors were collected for all participants according to the standardized protocol. Multiple linear regression and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed. Results Fundus photographs were gradable in 3419 subjects. AH was detected in 63 (0.9%, 95% CI: 0.7%, 1.1%) eyes of 53 (1.6%, 95% CI: 1.1%, 2.0%) subjects. AH was bilateral in 18.9%. Mean age of all subjects with AH was 69.2 ± 9.5 years (median, 71.0 years; range, 51–91 years), mean spherical equivalent was 0.63 ± 1.53D (median, 0.75 D; range, -4.12 to 4.00D). In multivariate analysis, prevalence of AH was associated with elder age (P = 0.014, OR 1.057), thicker lens (P = 0.032, OR 3.887), higher spherical equivalent (P = 0.017, OR 1.396). Conclusions In adult Chinese in Beijing, the prevalence of AH was 0.9% for eyes or 1.6% for subjects. AH was associated with elder age, thicker lens, and higher spherical equivalent. It was not associated with diabetes or other systemic indicators.

“…The presence of asteroid hyalosis has been infrequently associated with causing complications, including calcified intraocular silicone lenses 1 and rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. 2 Abnormalities of the vitreoretinal surface in the setting of asteroid hyalosis do not necessarily dictate a negative vitrectomy prognosis 3 but can occasionally cause complications. We present a case illustrating enlargement of a full-thickness macular hole during surgical repair in a patient with very strong vitreoretinal adhesions around the macular hole and asteroid hyalosis.…”
