PURPOSE

To analyze intravital structure of the vitreous body in asteroid hyalosis using digital ultrasound imaging.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 64 patients (128 eyes) aged 62 to 73 years with opacities in the vitreous body characterized as asteroid hyalosis.

RESULTS

The macrostructure of the vitreous body was evaluated based on the results of digital ultrasound imaging. The analysis covered various types of ultrasound images of the inner projection of the eye and the vitreous cavity. The study demonstrates the possibility of in vivo evaluation of the integrity of vitreous tracts, and the vitreous body as a whole.

CONCLUSION

Ocular ultrasound images of patients with asteroid hyalosis acquired in vivo were used to evaluate the macrostructure of the vitreous body and determine the features of spatial defects.
