Synchysis scintillans, also known as cholesterolosis bulbi, is a rare degenerative condition of the eye characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol crystals within the vitreous cavity. These crystals are characterized by freely mobile, highly refractile, multicolored particles that move with eye movements and settle inferiorly under gravity.
