The condition exists in my right eye and tends to mask the view. Might be best to refer to an ompthologist

Brief Answer: It is problem of Vitreous Humour Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Welcome back. I am really sorry for being late at reply. My organization sent me for a three day public service camp in odd hilly area with no network. It seems you mean asteroid hyalitis when you say Asteroiditis. The said condition is caused by starry deposits in rear thick eye globe gel as a result of an inflammatory process or trauma. The treatment is decided by an ophthalmic examination in person by a local ophthalmologist and depends on nature of disease and severity. Surgical and Laser options are also available in difficult cases. I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
