Three brothers are presented with bilateral asteroid hyalitis. The condition was mild in one vitreous, and hence a weak penetrance is suggested. This is the fourth report of familial cases, and thus an inherited aetiology in asteroid hyalitis is emphasized again. The same family presented also two cases with medullated nerve fibres.
