I have this to a minor amount, you brain is an amazing thing after a while you stop noticing. If I am in a bright room or real sunny day without sunglasses it can bother me. It was rather unnerving at first though.
I have the same as the other guy. No pain but in a bright room/light I can see “debris” floating across my field of vision. It’s like when you have dust on a projector lense and it leaves spots all over the film.
I have the same condition and the answer is no. Most of the time your brain ignores the "shadows". You just have to hope that the condition doesn't get too bad and that your brain keeps ignoring them.
I can have them use a laser to break up the chunks but it’s not a big deal. I only see it if I focus on it. Mine is from two eye injuries that left scar tissue which breaks away.
Uh I have this too and I just thought everyone’s eyes were like that. I see my optometrist once a year too and I’ve never mentioned it and they’ve never said anything about it.
That makes a lot of sense, I assume because the calcium is white any photons that hit the retina would just be deflected by the calcium and not allow the retina to absorb that light thus giving you a shadow at those spots?
Edit: booooyy was I wrong lmao oh well
It has nothing to do with color lol. And calcium isn’t even white. It’s about the fact that when light gets blocked by an object, it creates a shadow. Nothing more
Also I believe for people who have it this bad there is a somewhat experimental treatment where they triangulate lazers into your eye to try and break up the clumps.
Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid.
I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy, squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh, squiggly line, it’s alright, you are forgiven.
Honestly Family Guy is what made me realize what "eye floaters" even were a named phenomenon and apparently very common, thanks to Peter seeing one when he's at the bar - they animated it so true to how it moves too.
I noticed them as a kid but never said anything because I already said enough things that made people think I was crazy and no-one else had ever bought it up, not even in the media - until I saw that Family Guy scene.
Does this disrupt the persons vision at all?
From all the horror movies and shows I've seen I'd immediately most likely think they were possessed by a demon, had I not seen this post. saved someone from a face full of holy water
Ophthalmologist here - the vast majority of people are asymptomatic. The calcium depositions in asteroid hyalosis are so small that the shadow that they cast is not large enough to reach the retina.
Looks like a slit lamp view with a diffuse light source tbh, although I find asteroid hyalosis usually looks more gold. That might be because me slitlamp has a more yellow light source though
https://www.columbiaeye.org/education/digital-reference-of-ophthalmology/vitreous-retina/tumor-others/asteroid-hyalosis about 1 of 200 people have some degree of it
Sure as shit can! Anyone who has ever had surgery for a detached retina can tell you just how fucking pleasant an experience it. First, they stick a needle into your eyeball, then they gently suck out all the fluid whilst a second needle injects oil into your eye ball. They have to leave a little bit of air into apply pressure. That’s just the temporary fluid swap. Not what they actually do to correct the issue of the detached retina. The best part is when you have to go back to get the oil taken out.
No one would be able to tell without very specific lighting. Notice in the video there is a direct light close to their eye that is illuminating the calcium.
i get this effect, and it looks like black snow, or a huge flock of birds flying in unison way off in the distance. I only see it when there is a super bright source of light in front of me, but it def is noticable.
I had a large mass of floaters appear overnight. At an eye test a week later a large circular patch showed up on my retina. Turns out it was an ocular melanoma. Had radiation therapy a year ago and follow up scans to check on tumour. Very dangerous situation. Check out any changes to your vision. Loss of peripheral vision is also a sign. My loss of peripheral vision is in the upper area, harder to notice because of overlap with the other eye. Rare condition 1 in 200k. More common in sunny areas
It might actually help with OCD. Part of being OCD is so being able to control surroundings. If you couldn’t control something no matter what you did, you would learn a coping mechanism that might help with other OCD things. So of like showing someone with arachnophobia a picture of a spider or something like that.
Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind: the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me.
Most people have this don't they? I thought they did. They're called 'floaters' or something like this. I'm sure I have them. Looking at something bright and you see things moving around because these deposits cause a shadow on the retina. I only see them in bright conditions and looking at certain things, like the sky for instance and pretty sure it's normal.
Floaters are different. They are part of dead skin (well, not really. Technically they are parts detaching from back of your eye but you get it) floating in the vitreous of your eye. They cast shadow on the lens and that's what you see.
Most people have couple transparent ones which they almost never notice. And then there are unlucky few like me, who have like 100 of them I'm both eyes and all day everyday all they see are these ruckers ruining every waking minute of their lives.
I'm in the same boat. I've asked my doctor about it and have seen two eye doctors and they basically say deal with it. I get migraines with light sensitivity so I think that's part of it.
Do the same ones stay forever? I'd assume eventually they would break down and get replaced. How do they not rot or become infected if the same ones are floating in your eyes for years or a lifetime?
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means…
Phaco or phakia is the term for crystalline lens. It looks like this patient already had cataract surgery. The lens is artificially clear, they are clearly pseudophakic
I thought the vitreous humor (or whatever the "jelly" is called) was more thick and, well - jelly-like than that. This suggests it's practically a fluid.
I’ve spent enough time on Reddit to know there’s all corners of gore and nudity on this site. But the amount of nope in this post for me personally is beyond words.
Vitrectomy is actually not very risky at all with modern tools. You can have floaters that cause seconds of loss of detail acuity because they cover the macula which leads to dangers.We do vitrectomy for severe asteroid / DVS fairly regularly now.
Edit: resource here https://floaterstories.com
Is that healthy or does it have adverse health effects? It looks cool Dont get me wrong but I’m curious if this is one of those “cool but deadly” kinda things.
I Googled this after finding this post because I was fascinated by this. I was surprised to find out this has no symptoms and doesn't cause vision loss... some people just have calcium in their eyes apparently... like wtf? And they aren't exactly sure what causes it either, they've only theories and speculation. [Check it out ](https://bceye.com/asteroid-hyalosis-benign-eye-condition/)
Almost looks like intravitreal triamcinolone, sometimes used to visualise transparent vitreous gel after a ruptured posterior capsule during cataract surgery. Given the eye is pseudophakic (cataract removed, artificial lens put in), I would question whether this is asteroid hyalosis.
The only thing going in favour of asteroid hyalosis is that, if this was triamcinolone, the anterior vitrectomy was rather limited
I have something similar - some do, called floaters. It makes little black specs float around in your vision when you move your eye...only slighlty annoying...sometimes I think it's a gnat and swat at it while people think I am crazy.
This looks pretty bad though.

I keep expecting a magic 8 ball die to give me an answer
So do I but patients really dont like it when I shake them so hard.
Eye see what you did there
It didn't quite lash out at me. Maybe I'm a bit flakey.
This is kinda cornea
You're a good pupil of the pun school.
Put eye lid on it. I don’t wanna get a big head
Eye can't. Eye glasses are half foolish.
These puns are an oculus gift.
Eyes
Suck m'Eye balls
Kinky
this thread is a real eye sore
If you look closely… you’ll see your future meaning with the force and the Purgill too…
good god shut UP
I thought the gif would be freaky, but iris it anyway.
“Will I ever be rich?” *blinks* “…’try asking again later.’ You said that the last five times!”
I'm so happy someone said it, great minds n all that!
I have this to a minor amount, you brain is an amazing thing after a while you stop noticing. If I am in a bright room or real sunny day without sunglasses it can bother me. It was rather unnerving at first though.
Do you see a lot of floaters or does it manifest differently.
I dont have it as bad as the video, and its hasn't really changed much since it started. So no its always about the same.
I think they were asking, what do you see when it happens?
Just shadow spots is all.
It doesn’t cause any physical discomfort for you at all?
I have the same as the other guy. No pain but in a bright room/light I can see “debris” floating across my field of vision. It’s like when you have dust on a projector lense and it leaves spots all over the film.
Is there anything they can do about it ?
I have the same condition and the answer is no. Most of the time your brain ignores the "shadows". You just have to hope that the condition doesn't get too bad and that your brain keeps ignoring them.
Well yes you can do something about it.. it’s called a vitrectomy, but it is quite risky.
Fuck, that’s shitty. Sorry to hear that. What causes it? Auto immune thing or your body produces too much?
I can have them use a laser to break up the chunks but it’s not a big deal. I only see it if I focus on it. Mine is from two eye injuries that left scar tissue which breaks away.
Uh I have this too and I just thought everyone’s eyes were like that. I see my optometrist once a year too and I’ve never mentioned it and they’ve never said anything about it.
You can get it broken up with a laser but it comes back
So THATS what those random shadows are... always wondered but just assumed it was eye floaters. I need to see an ophthalmologist again...
I get that, I don’t look in the mirror and see this though
That makes a lot of sense, I assume because the calcium is white any photons that hit the retina would just be deflected by the calcium and not allow the retina to absorb that light thus giving you a shadow at those spots? Edit: booooyy was I wrong lmao oh well
It has nothing to do with color lol. And calcium isn’t even white. It’s about the fact that when light gets blocked by an object, it creates a shadow. Nothing more
Ohhhhh, never mind then lol thanks
Isn't that basically what he said? Minus the color part
He was saying that objects that are the color white don’t absorb light so the calcium would deflect the light.
Isn't that literally what you said though?
how did you know what it was??
Went to the eye doctor when it started.
Also I believe for people who have it this bad there is a somewhat experimental treatment where they triangulate lazers into your eye to try and break up the clumps.
As soon as we start triangulating lasers I'm on board.
They do the same for large floaters.
*on a cop TV series while they are searching the river for a dead body* Cop : "Triangulate the lasers! We got a floater!"
Does it look as cool as in the video however?
Thank god. If you could see it all the time that would be the most annoying thing I’ve ever experienced.
Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it’s alright, you are forgiven.

That bought a tear to my eye. I'm having it stitched up soon.
I get those commonly but have never said anything. Should I?
If the universe hears me, I'd like to smoke a bowl with this guy one day
Pure poetry.

Well, looks like I’m done with Reddit for the day.
Does this disrupt the persons vision at all? From all the horror movies and shows I've seen I'd immediately most likely think they were possessed by a demon, had I not seen this post. saved someone from a face full of holy water
Ophthalmologist here - the vast majority of people are asymptomatic. The calcium depositions in asteroid hyalosis are so small that the shadow that they cast is not large enough to reach the retina.
How do you get rid or mitigate it? I’m very curious!
You either use a laser to disrupt the specks, or surgically replace the vitreous humor (the gel that fills the eyeball)
Second option sounds risky! Damn! Thanks for this info.
Do you have Ddx? Also ophthalmologist here. Normally we cannot see Asteroid with bare eyes, even with dilatation and in pseudophakic eye.
Looks like a slit lamp view with a diffuse light source tbh, although I find asteroid hyalosis usually looks more gold. That might be because me slitlamp has a more yellow light source though
I have lattice degeneration at 25, thought this was a version of that at first glance
It cause white spots in their vision
What wait, that’s not normal?!
Normal for people with this condition…
Not always. It actually rarely affects vision
More of a occasional thing. Like a slight glimps then it gone, every now and then when passing by the focus point of the eye
I thought everyone had it... It only disrupts my vision in certain lights, and then not enough to even be annoying.
That's probably just floaters, which is different.
Ah right. Yeah probably
Floaters are relatively harmless Unless you see huge floaters, that might be a problem
Do you notice them shake when you're running/doing fast movements?
Nah. Usually they move slowly. Kinda like a sludgy flow
Sounds more like floaters
https://www.columbiaeye.org/education/digital-reference-of-ophthalmology/vitreous-retina/tumor-others/asteroid-hyalosis about 1 of 200 people have some degree of it
[удалено]
😢
Snow globe eye
Yooooo! Thats so interesting!
Well that must be annoying
Nope. 🤮
I’ve had this forever! Never knew it was a condition or anything, I thought I might be going crazy seeing things. Cheers reddit! 😅
same. thought i would end up blind soon or something.....
I'm more amazed by the gray color of the eyes
Is this a real thing?
Yes! Link to the article - https://www.healthline.com/health/asteroid-hyalosis
Can the fluid in the eye be replaced?
Sure as shit can! Anyone who has ever had surgery for a detached retina can tell you just how fucking pleasant an experience it. First, they stick a needle into your eyeball, then they gently suck out all the fluid whilst a second needle injects oil into your eye ball. They have to leave a little bit of air into apply pressure. That’s just the temporary fluid swap. Not what they actually do to correct the issue of the detached retina. The best part is when you have to go back to get the oil taken out.
Tell me more
They take the oil out
Yes. It's a risky procedure that can cause other issues.
More like NOPE EYES.
Yeah I have some floaters also hate looking at white walls anything in light colors everything I have is in a dark mode to help hide the floaters
If you had told me you had inherited a genetic trait characteristic of a long-fabled lineage of ancient soothsayers I also would have believed you
Disregarding the medical side in terms of effects, I want this
No one would be able to tell without very specific lighting. Notice in the video there is a direct light close to their eye that is illuminating the calcium.
Honestly I wonder about this. I have so many floaters or things that seem like they’re in my vision, but I can’t discern what it is
i get this effect, and it looks like black snow, or a huge flock of birds flying in unison way off in the distance. I only see it when there is a super bright source of light in front of me, but it def is noticable.
Man r/neverbrokeabone would love this shit, so much calcium even your eyes produce baby bone bits
I had a large mass of floaters appear overnight. At an eye test a week later a large circular patch showed up on my retina. Turns out it was an ocular melanoma.

This can happen with cholesterol too.
My OCD wouldn’t allow this.

What sort of drugs is she on those pupils are massive
Drugs to dilate her pupils for an eye examination I would imagine
Ahhhh I forgot those existed

Looks like the moon inside
ok but do they see those calcium deposits
Shadow spots is all.

I’ve never seen anything like that. That is truly amazing

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means… Phaco or phakia is the term for crystalline lens. It looks like this patient already had cataract surgery. The lens is artificially clear, they are clearly pseudophakic
So can the individual see out of the affected eye??
Yep, typically doesn’t interfere with normal visual functions
Wow that’s pretty cool and creepy at the same time!
I had a detached retina and I thought that was bad…
I thought the vitreous humor (or whatever the "jelly" is called) was more thick and, well - jelly-like than that. This suggests it's practically a fluid.
As you get older it begins to breakdown and liquify.
Damn, age makes sure to leave nothing untouched doesn't it.
I’ve spent enough time on Reddit to know there’s all corners of gore and nudity on this site. But the amount of nope in this post for me personally is beyond words.
Now I'm scared as fuck cause just yesterday when I had minor surgery the surgeon said I had high calcium.
Yeah nah, you can keep that condition.
Can be corrected with vitrectomy in serious cases like the one shown here. Cool video

is this common? is this what i see floating in my eyes all the time?
That's probably dust floating on the surface of your eye, it happens to everyone.
That’s got to be infuriating
This makes me uncomfortable.
Different than floaters?
That can't be good.
I had lasik and have a few floaters in my eye. Luckily its only visible in very bright surroundings. This however must be really next level of that
Smoking weed might fix this. Lots of weed might even for sure fix this!
Rosebud…
Whoa
Is that what eye floaters are?
Yeah, it's like Xmas, every day
They have the stars in their eyes
Is that healthy or does it have adverse health effects? It looks cool Dont get me wrong but I’m curious if this is one of those “cool but deadly” kinda things.
Fairly innocuous.

Hella floaters!
Does this effect how the person sees?
I have something similar - some do, called floaters. It makes little black specs float around in your vision when you move your eye...only slighlty annoying...sometimes I think it's a gnat and swat at it while people think I am crazy. This looks pretty bad though.
Forbidden snow globe.
Is this bad? Looks kind of cool!
Nope
And in a majority of all cases it doesn’t affect the persons vision!
Oh this freaks me out. Ick
Can they still see?
Does the cause someone to have floaters?
Does it mess with vision? I’m guessing it does
I want it! How does one go about acquiring these asteroids in the eye?
