Asteroid bodies in the vitreous present the doctor of optometry with a spectacular ophthalmoscopic view of numerous, minute yellow-white spheres in an otherwise normal vitreous. They have little or no association with systemic disease, and they are not often thought of as a cause for vision symptoms. We report four cases of vision symptoms that we believe were caused by asteroid bodies in the vitreous. The symptoms varied from minor impairments in visual acuity to floaters.
