New Histopathological and Histochemical Observations Concerning Asteroid Hyalitis

Vitreous Asteroid Bodies

“…Asteroid hyalosis was divided into two types by Rodman et al 4 Type 1 was the usual asteroid bodies occur¬ ring in a normal vitreous as in the present cases, and type 2 included much larger bodies, often embedded in dense vitreous membranes and exciting a granulomatous reaction. These larger asteroids occurred in dis¬ eased eyes of humans and also of dogs, especially in the presence of uveitis.…”

Asteroid hyalosis: pathogenesis and prospects for prevention

“…10 The overall relationship between DM and AH is further complicated by data suggesting that AH may arrest the process of vitreous collapse or contraction in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. 8,20 Structure and composition of ABs 22 confirmed that calcium is bound to the main acidic lipid components of ABs. However, its behaviour is not consistent with fatty acid calcium salts because the ABs did not dissolve in glacial acetic acid or 0.8% HCl but did dissolve in methanolic HCl.…”
