Asteroid hyalosis (AH) is an eye condition that causes you to develop tiny, glittering yellow particles or flecks inside your eyes. It’s usually harmless, and most cases don’t need any treatment.

The particles that develop with AH form inside the vitreous, the clear, gel-like substance inside your eyes. AH affects only one eye at a time in more than 80% of cases.

Despite its classification as a permanent and degenerative condition, most people don’t know they have it. That’s because it doesn't usually affect your vision or cause symptoms. The glittering effect inside the eye is hard to spot unless you shine a light directly at the affected eye and look closely.

Eye floaters (myodesopsias) sometimes appear in your vision due to AH crystals. Floaters are common after you turn 50, and they’re usually a normal effect of the aging process. The key difference between the two is that AH involves glittering particles in your eyes, While eye floaters can happen without those particles.

Me with amblyopia

Sometimes I just like playing with the flash on my phone and seeing how my "bad eye" reacts to the light. Any way heres one of the main reasons I'm insecure all up close. 😂

It’s not easy to deal with a rare an unknown condition. I’ve heard talk of ‘invisible disability’ and yes, it’s something I can understand. But more than that, it’s the question of ‘is this actually me being clumsy, or is this is any way related to my eyes?’ That question is REALLY hard to answer for me personally, when I don’t know a single person who I can talk to.

The RP Truths site is... actually seriously awesome when it comes to this. If anyone is wondering what it’s like to have this condition, check it out.

Because it’s not all just ‘being clumsy’.

Because ‘It’s right there’ *points* doesn’t help.

And it’s not easy to explain these things, without sounding like making excuses.
