Talk:Asteroid hyalosis

Photo is wrong?
The dog photo appears to show a lens opacity (cataract) rather than vitreous pathology (asteroid hyalosis).
 * The dog in the photo has both nuclear sclerosis and asteroid hyalosis. I know it's a lousy photo, but it's all I could get with my limited photographic abilities.  If you think it's not a good representation of the condition, we can definitely remove it.  --Joelmills 04:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I put up what I hope is a better image. One of these days I'll get the focus right.  --Joelmills 05:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Third attempt is up. Any thoughts? -Joelmills 03:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me! However, for those who don't understand what they're looking at, perhaps a diagram (showing the asteroids behind the lens, in the vitreous cavity) would be more instructive :) PedEye1 03:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That's a good idea. I don't suppose there is a eye cross section diagram already in existence (and with a free license) with which we can work? -Joelmills 15:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Asteroid body
The term asteroid body links here...I think there needs to be a disambiguation page for it or something. Asteroid bodies are also structures found in certain cells in conditions like sarcoidosis. They may be the same crystals found in this condition, but they certainly aren't found only there. I have no idea how to edit something like that though, I'm just an occasional wikipedia user...75.65.156.70 (talk) 03:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
