Prevalence of asteroid hyalosis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
To evaluate the prevalence of asteroid hyalosis. We retrospectively analyzed 7,856 patients at our hospital for health screening during the 1-year period. All patients, including 4,421 men and 3,435 women, were analyzed using fundus photographs. In results the overall prevalence of asteroid hyalosis was found to be 0.543% (31/7,856). Out of 31 patients with asteroid hyalosis, 24 were men (24/4,421; 0.543%), and 7 were women (7/3,435; 0.204%). Among the 31 patients, 28 had unilateral and three had bilateral. In conclusion among the patients who underwent health screening, the prevalence of asteroid hyalosis was found to be 0.543%. These results may aid in explaining clinically rare conditions. Keywords: asteroid hyalosis, health screening.
