A 61 year old female presents for a review of drusen in her right eye.

CASE STUDY: Synchysis Scintillas

A 61 year old female presents for a review of drusen in her right eye.

With glasses her visual acuity is right 6/12 improving to 6/7.5 with a pinhole, and left 6/9, improving to 6/7.5. Her intraocular pressures were 14mmHg bilaterally. Retinal examination revealed no drusen however we found Synchysis Scintillans in her right eye.

Synchysis scintillans is a vitreous disorder that is usually compared with asteroid bodies in the vitreous. These are extremely rare cholesterol crystals that move around freely in the vitreous and falls to the floor of the vitreous due to gravity. No treatment is required.
