Eye Floaters Cure - Natural Treatment for Eye Floaters

In this article, we will explore all the natural methods to

eliminate eye floaters. Although surgery is often

considered the only viable solution to eye floaters, I will

explain why natural treatment is as powerful and far less

risky than the surgical approach.

Floaters may cause depression, anxiety and many other related problems. Please note that

if your eyes are in pain or you suddenly experience flashes of light, you must contact a

doctor immediately. This page is meant for those whose floaters are only annoying and

painless.

Now let's begin. What's the safest cure for floaters ? Getting used to them. It's true; being

bothered by floaters is entirely psychological. However, there are ways to actually decrease

the floaters that we can see and, most importantly, stop more floaters from being formed.

First of all, let's have a quick peek at the eye. What are floaters, and where are they

formed? The eye has a jelly-like substance that constitutes most of the inner eye. This is

contained in the vitreous. It is normal that as the eye ages, the vitreous begins forming

"webs" (floaters) which are "cracks" in the vitreous. They range enormously in size and

shape, from tiny dots that can be barely seen, to enormous dragon-shaped floaters.

The brain has a natural tendency to ignore everything that we do not need. Furthermore,

there is a very strong correlation between the time we have experienced floaters and the

actual floaters we see. The longer we've had them, the less we see them . If we add our

eye's natural healing process to our brain's superb ignore capacity, it is conspicuous why

we gradually stop seeing floaters. The real problem arises when new floaters are formed

on a frequent basis.

How to stop floaters from being formed? While there is no real way to stop the formation of

floaters (that is confirmed), there are many ways to strengthen one's eyes which will in turn

lessen the creation of new floaters and even accelerate the eye's healing process as it has

been proven by many doctors and floater-patients such as myself.

Before going any further, I want to say something very important: Avoid surgery at all costs.

If your eyes are not in pain and you do not see any flashes of light, then please do yourself

a favor and never subject yourself to surgery. Even if you do see occasional flashes of light,

go see your doctor and don't insist on having surgery. Ask many questions and consult at

least two doctors. It's your eyes we are talking about: you only have two and you must take

care of them.

Having said that, let's continue. The first, and foremost most important step, is to have a

good diet . This is not important, it's essential. A good diet will not only help your eyes; it

will help your heart, brain and just about your whole organism which will in turn help your

eyes even more. Never underestimate the power of having a good diet. What constitutes a

good diet? Water, vegetables, water and more vegetables. Of course you must add meat

from time to time, fruits, bread; but with water and vegetables you are already halfway

there. Avoid fast-food at all costs and try to eat fresh vegetables as frequently as possible.

Additionally you might want to try certain vitamins for eye floaters. Now that we are on the

topic, there is one drink that you must consider: red wine. I have heard it from many

doctors, a glass of red wine every two nights is good for the eyes and heart.

Exercise is vital . I know that every doctor and his mother recommend the basic

nutrition/exercise combination. It is so important that it's something you should be reminded

again and again. That combination will not only help your eyes directly, it will help you lose

weight which is a primary factor of vision-loss and even believed to be a direct cause of

floaters. Nutrition and exercise will also help your heart - you need a strong heart for your

eyes to function properly.

Are your eyes frequently irritated? Then you may need natural eye-drops . I will tell you a

bit about a personal experience. My eyes are bigger than normal and when they close, they

can't close completely making them frequently irritated, or as some would say, "red". After

visiting numerous ophthalmologists they all recommended costly medications that I used:

none worked. I visited more ophthalmologists, wasted more money and ultimately gave up

and resigned to red eyes. When talking to a good friend of mine, he recommended natural

eye-drops. I bought them, used them and within two days my eyes were as clear as water

(well, almost!) What can you learn from this? Never underestimate the power of natural

medication. It does not have any side effects, and trying them can only make your eyes

stronger. If your eyes are even a bit irritated, try natural eye-drops. They are a great relief.

Never use them more than two or three times per day.

I am hesitant about this way to improve one's eyes, but I have been told by so many

ophthalmologists to do it, that I will include it here. It can do no harm, so trying it won't hurt

you in any way. It's so simple and yet nobody does it. Ready? Gaze at the moon . It's been

said that gazing at the moon does help preserve vision. Even better, it's rumored that the

brain ignores floaters faster if you gaze at the moon for just five minutes every night. What

have you got to lose? Try it!

So we covered a good nutrition, exercise, eye-drops, gazing at the moon... what else do we

need? Ah that's right, to stop thinking about floaters. Seriously after you finish reading the

articles in this website, close your computer and don't even think about the word "floater"

ever again. That is, unless you experience flashers or other eye problems. If you don't then

there's nothing you need and you can safely forget about them. If looking at the sky makes

you remember about floaters then guess what? Don't look at the sky. It's simple: just

ignore floaters . Within a few weeks your brain will have learnt what a floater looks like and

it will ignore it even further. Just give it an "ignore boost" and don't pay attention to them

yourself. They are not worth it, everyone has them, and there's no need to worry about

something you can't change in the first place. Erase the word "floater" from your vocabulary

and go live a happy life. Don't forget your vegetables.

If after these suggestions your eye floaters don't go away, you might be interested to read

about the Eye Floaters Solution.

I went many years ignoring the floaters. They were mainly bothersome when I

was tired, so when I started sleep problems because of tinnitus, I continued

ignoring them. Now I've just had surgery for a detached retina (had several

ophthalmologists check this). The floaters acted to separate the retina quite a

bit, and if I'd had it checked earlier, there would be a better chance of my

having full sight. Don't play with your eyes and see a decent ophthalmologist -

they're not quacks and are trained do do the best thing for your sight.

What is the eye floater solution????

By William - 2012-03-19

I am 15, and I've been seeing squiggles, long squiggles in my eye infact

sometimes groups making shapes such as Lines, Circles, Etc! It's very

depressing. Everyday I want to die. I don't want to lose my eyesight!!!

I havent had this issue the entire year, and am wondering what it may be , It

has no color it's transparent like floaters, but bigger but not too much bigger,

Although because they're in packs they have been bothering me. I look in the

sky, or look at anything light and i see a ton of squiggles, as I rub my eye they

sometimes form new shapes what is this??? i've been researching this and

can't find anything D: besides this articles that is :) thx for the fax, just very

depressed !

By Steve Andersen - 2012-02-21

I have had floaters all my life. I had troubles in school reading books. I'm 49

years old now and every time I ever visited any eye doctor, they told me their

was no cure for them. Most of the time they do not bother me unless looking

up in the bright sky or reading. If you don't think about them, they wont bother

you as much.

By Night floaters natural - 2012-02-20

Yes, everyone can see these, they are natural, both day and night. Floaters

(clear or night ones as described below) are seen by everyone, especially the

more sensitive you are!

By damm - 2012-02-18

does people having floaters see the circles around the lights at night??? i

have floaters in both eyes and i m just 14...they were negligible years back

but nowadays they are distracting me....what can i do??? what is the main

cause for these floaters can anyone tell me plz?????the light at night and the

sun at day seem very bright to me and if they are releasing bright rays which

are contacting and scattering like in cataract patients

By THEY ARE NATURAL - 2012-02-12

Clear, round moving floaters or "threads" are 100% natural and every one

sees them, especially when looking at light. No surgery, pills, moon gazing

will make them go away. Relax, please, don't be so upset, you can see right

through them. Dark floaters however or sharp flashes of lights can be a sign

of problem. Clear ones, NATURAL

Well my problem is that i'm just 15 years old and have already a big problem

with this floaters. Their's nothing wrong with my retina but i'm already seeing

very much and big floaters and i can't ignore them. Maybe is the yag laser an

option in the future ?

By SamHeaKen - 2012-02-01

How do you learn to ignore floaters when you have one so big that it

completely blurs your vision in one eye?

By Chris - 2012-01-24

I wonder if people have always had problems with this at a young age or its

occurring more and more now. It seems like most articles I read about this are

useless since the best way to get rid of them is to ignore them. I remember

when I was younger I would have smaller lines and dots that were only seen

when i focussed really hard and looked at the sky- easy to ignore those. The

ones I have now are basically in front of those the little ones (just my

assumption, I can't say thats a fact). I wonder if our environment has caused

this or the fact that more and more people are looking at computer screens or

what. I haven't always been one to use a computer.

By Hopeless - 2012-01-22

The first time I noticed I had eye floaters was when I was in first grade I was

playing in the scoop yard and looked up at the sky and noticed a little dark dot

on my left eye it would move as i moved my eye as years passed by they

multiple and they started to develop on my right eye now I'm 20 and I have

them in both eyes they bug so much I have pains on top of my eyes as if it

where pulling mostly on the left eye maybe because I gave alot more floaters

on that eye I'm not sure, and I't sucks so bad because I can't do anything

about beside gaze at the moon.

By DHEER - 2012-01-20

I'm 16 and I have floaters, it really distracts me while I am studying

Is it normal to have floaters at such a young age?

By mng519 - 2011-12-10

Yeah, all seemed like good advice up until they said to just stop thinking

about them. They obviously have no idea about what can go on with those

stupid things ! I'm speaking from my own personal experience with them.

Feels like those things are somehow hooked together and pulling from my left

eye to my left ear, making a very odd anxiety ridden sensation. Drives me

nuts, but have developed strong constant, and I mean CONSTANT coping

skills. Like I said, definitely good advice about the health end of it, but very

dumb statement about the "forget" them comment.

By Willis - 2011-12-10

I just turned 50 six months ago and now I have eye floater issues. I will follow

up with a doctor to verify my condition. I will take your advise regarding

veggies, water and excercise. Thanks for keeping it real!

I'm only 16, and I have these so bad that I couldn't even spot a fly now, it

looks like flies are everywhere... Pray for me!

By Steve - 2011-11-15

If I roll my eyes to look up, w/out moving my head, and then roll them down, I

see a cloudy wax paper like blanket go by rather quickly...I see this in both

eyes although different shapes and 'cloudiness'...eh, 58 yrs old...at least I can

still see !!

By alejandro - 2011-11-13

i have floaters and flashes in my left eye

i got it when i get beaten by an addict,now im worryin what might happen to

me, i got laser eye surgery but it seems it not improve at all.

By Chris - 2011-11-10

I've had the lot: retinal detachmen; holes; short sight and more floaters than a

harvesting cranberry field.

Yag Vitreolysis. Find an expert ophthalmic surgeon that uses one and go get

an assessment and then the treatment.

Yag vaporizes floaters using lasers. Painless, quick, effective.

It worked for me.

By RRod53 - 2011-11-07

Had floaters for 40 years. No big deal, there are issues in life far more serious

than obsessing over floaters. I agree that the more you think about them, the

more you see and the more prominent they appear. After reading some of the

books by Oliver Sacks, it is clear that the diversity of processing and wiring

we have working in our minds is remarkable. I'm not a MD, but it looks like

more than a few comments might be related to visual migraines.

By Laurie - 2011-11-01

I first noticed floaters when I was in first or second grades, in the mid sixties

living in Northern CA. Was laying on my bed looking at the light colored walls

of my bedroom....Reported these "little dots and squiggles" to my Mom who

took me to the DR. In the same small time frame, I was bitten by a tick. We

lived in a rural mountainous area near Redding, California, and the tick on the

back of my upper leg was fully embedded, engorged, indicating it had been

attached to me for some time. My parents had bought a parcel on a local

creek there and we used to have forays through the tall meadow grass to visit

for picnics and swim in the creek. It was not until this past year and lots of

research, reading, and learning about Lyme disease that I learned floaters

and red eyes are common in those who have contracted Lyme Disease. In

the very same "tick bite time frame" I also had severe sudden onset

nosebleeds and serious conjunctivitis, also symptoms symptoms of Lyme

Disease. Years of repeating tonsillitis followed. The bacteria that causes Lyme

disease dwells in collagen tissues of the body, the lymph nodes and yes, the

eyes too. 50% of people who test positive for Borrelia Burgorferi (the Lyme

disease bacterium) NEVER recall having had a tick bite! Scientists have

isolated the bacteria in aqueous samples of the eye itself. Maybe these

threadlike floaters are the bacteria itself that one sees? MY floaters do indeed

look like the spirochete "Bb". (google borrelia burgdorferi). I hope this

personal share of info helps someone else. The CDC is downplaying Lyme,

which mimics so MANY disorders, it boggles the mind.

By cristi - 2011-11-01

Thanks for the article. I was freaking out because of these floaters, I've asked

2 or 3 doctors about it over the years, and they didn't know what it is, simply

told me "don't worry" ...

I was also noticing those flashes of light, but as it happens I like to drink juice

(like 1.5l a day) and I also eat a lot of vegetables, and I've noticed them less

and less during these last months.

By Mare - 2011-10-25

Ophthalmologist explained: Floaters inside our eyes will never disappear. If

we are lucky, they will move out of the field of vision. Gravity sometimes

accelerates this process of moving which takes months ...

By jjh - 2011-10-24

I got my first case of floaters in my left eye around July 4th. Went to a Retinol

specialist 3 times over 7 weeks...gradually went away. I just woke up on

10-21-11 with floaters in my right eye. Very frustrating and will just hope they

go away in 7 weeks. I have mono vision contact lenses, and I use my right

eye for distance, so my reading isn't affected (which is my left eye). So, its

kind of a crazy situation when you have those types of contact lenses. My

question to all of you is this..."will I be getting this again down the road" or is

this a one time thing? Thanks.

By Ephraim - 2011-10-23

Just stumbled across this website and was surprised to read the bit about

gazing at the moon. Years ago, in a Hebrew book on Jewish folk medicine, I

read about gazing at the waning moon for eye ache. Interesting to read that

the moon is good for floaters too. Maybe now is the time to try it! Regards to

all.

By Fernando - 2011-10-23

I'm so grateful that you took the time to write this article. I'm 15 years old and I

started seeing this freaking things a few months ago, I tried to ignore them but

the fact of knowing they were there made me nuts!

This article practically summed up my case and belive it or not the part from

the moon is true I did it even before reading this and it took me by surprise.I

was feeling very deppressed and sad but it is ture ignore them please.

By Cat - 2011-10-23

Two days later I went to the emergency to get my eye examined because I

thought my retna was detaching. Told them this. I waited 2 1/2 hours before

they saw me & acted like I was crazy for going to them. Said they didn't have

the equipment to test my eye & referred me to a clinic across the street.I went

there & had an eye MD dialate my eyes. Said the retina was ok.

I want to get my eyes rechecked as I have developed more floaters & light

streaks at the side of my left eye.

I have to pay in advance & have no insurance. Worked a week to save up for

the last check up.

Guess in Fresno if your retina detaches you just go blind.

By Cat - 2011-10-23

Be glad you don't live in Fresno CA if you develope eye floaters or think you

need immediate attention for a retinal problem.

I went 2 months early to my opthamologist for an eye exame because I

noticed a Blob moving past my eye. Was just a blurry spot moving along my

eye. He gave me a complete eye exam but did not dialate my eyes. Said I

didn't need it (said it would mess up my eye). He said I had dry eyes.

isn there anyone who had laser treatment for floaters i see john karickhoff

says that he can do laser for floaters doesnt anybody see it??

By They are not a problem... - 2011-10-20

These floaters, exactly as most describe are not considered problematic. You

should really be able to see well through them, no need for doctors, they are

natural, and actually a sign of sensitivity- well wishes to all!

By Zoe - 2011-10-19

Where do you get Natural eye drops from?

By Cynthia - 2011-10-18

About the helminths (worms); how do we get ride of the worms? I saw a

medical show about these worms in someone's eyes. But I do not remember

how to get rid of them.

By I Know Everything - 2011-10-13

'Candida Albicains' is an extremely common fungal organism that causes

some of these types of floaters. If you see wavy lines and circles with a dot in

the middle this is probably the answer. The lense of the eye acts like a

magnifier. When your diet is poor your body is way more prone to fungal

overgrowth. Rarely this can be caused by helminths (worms) and also the

above explanation of the eye itself causing this condition. I see them

(candida) when looking at the sky. I stare at the moon until my eyes water.

I've had floaters for about a month now, i usually see them looking at the sky

or sometimes the computer screen. The best way to ignore them is to always

keep your eyes in focus and concentrate on one thing.

Hi! I'm 13 and I had these for already 2 years but i'm afraid to tell my parents

to take me to an eye doctor and my vision is getting wierd :( pls help me im

gonna do the moon thing!

By Joe - 2011-10-11

Great site.

I have seen my ophthalmologist and was very concerned that I had a very

serious condition.

he informed me that he first had these floaters when he was in Medical

School.

The ophthalmologist checked for a tear and found none.

I am going to stare at the moon tonight with my dog.

Enjoyed reading the responses.

By nixamericandiet - 2011-10-10

oh! ps. I had serious pressure and inflammation in my head hat made my

neck stiff and felt so awful last fall. Then I got a migraine with aura last year

with sudden onset of floaters and after the opthamologist thought I had MS

(due to an ptic neuritis associated with this episode) and sent for an MRI. The

MRI found - to use the neurologists words "gunk" in one of my sinus cavities.

maybe it was yeast this whole time! gross. but I feel much much better after

the candida diet.

By nixamericandiet - 2011-10-10

Nutritionist is correct! Don't waste time and money on doctors! get on the

candida diet. I went to a neurologist, got an MRI, went to an opthamologist

who thought I had MS. A relative of mine has candida and I thought I would

try the diet although I didn't have any classic symptoms. My floaters went

away in two....yep. TWO days. after I followed a strict diet of quinoa, kale,

almonds, scrambled eggs and shrimp, water, and spice tea (ginger, tumeric,

cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cloves). The foods were seasoned with tumeric,

garlic, curry, and olive oil (sometimes salt and pepper to taste). TRY IT! I feel

like a new person. Take your health back everyone!

I'd like to respond to the candida diet for eye floater treatment. I went on an

me.

By Patty - 2011-09-25

you are the first person that mentions candida overgrowth as a possibility to

cause floaters. How is candida overgrowth diagnosed? Thank you.

i got an eye floater on my left eye and right eye,for 5 month,but now i realise

that my left eye's eye floater is getting obvious for a while,around 10 second.

Also for 5 month whenever i look up to the sky i saw sparkling lights alot of

sprakling lights blinking during when the sky is bright. should i see a doctor?

By jimmy - 2011-09-24

It really depends on which one your trying to look at. I descibed it to my doctor

as everyday when i wake up its like looking into a microscope and seeing life.

Most of the time i worry about what they are and what there doing. Mine

apear to be fighting eachother. Focusing on them is somthing i try not to

do..but often i find there activities intersting.

By Matt P - 2011-09-23

I have actually been able to look directly at it without it floating away. It took

me a couple of years of practice. Can anyone else do this?

By Matt P - 2011-09-22

I have only one floater in my left eye, but it is so annoying. It floats around the

center of my vision. I gave up on reading books because its too frustrating. I

got this devil when i was about 20 and now i am 27. I have always loved

sugar, but im going to cut back. Oh ya i also get flashes, about 4 times a year,

they always lasts about a half hour.

How long have you had the flashes. I've had them for 4 years. 2 1/2 years

straight, now off and on every two months.

Please help. I got a pretty bad black eye 4 years ago. Upon receiving the

black eye, I noticed a big reddish/brown floater. Well, that went away after a

couple weeks, and I had assumed it was from the eye trauma. A month after

everything cleared up, or so it seemed, I started getting peripheral light

flashes in that eye. Saw MD eye doctors and two retinal specialists who can't

find anything!

Are the flashes from that floater I thought went away?!? I have had this for 3

years straight, and then off for two months, and on for two months. Does that

mean it's clearing up? Scared and depressed.

By Tom - 2011-09-15

I'm 19 and 2 months ago I started noticing major floaters. I have quite a few of

them. They really suck. I particularly notice them when it's sunny and I'm

outside, and they're really bad when I look at the sky. I just want there to be a

cure. :( I'm actually starting to avoid going outside so that I won't have to put

up with the floaters. It's like a nightmare I want to wake up from.

I developed a large floater in my right eye that behaves like a windshield

wiper. Every time I move my eye it swipes across my entire field of vision. I

agree that floaters seriously decrease one's quality of life. I received the same

advice as everyone else--ignore it. Well that is much easier said than done

since I can't see through it or around it. My sympathies and condolences to all

of us who suffer with these things. I'm going to try many of these suggestions

that have been made including looking at the moon. If nothing else maybe

staring at the moon will drive me insane and then I won't care about the

floater.

There is a Ayurveda Doctor in Nepal, Dr Rishi Ram Koirala, he has prepared

the blend of Herbal medicine and this medicine really helps to getrid of the

floaters. I had floater since i was 24, but at the age of 32 i took his medicine

which has to be taken with the milk and after 10 days of the doge, the floater

intensity got very very light and gradually vanished. it is the best medicine

and no side affect. you can contact Dr. Koirala at www.ayurveda.com.np

Weight lifting is not recommended because it increases your blood pressure.

This can lead to additional eye floaters. Contact sports are also discouraged

because of their inherent risk. Imagine what a blow to your head can do to

your eyes?

By Debbie - 2011-08-24

Why no wright lifting? That is something that I do. I think that the floaters

started about the same time I started lifting again.

By ashleyann - 2011-08-21

Yes. Any change in vision not normal to you should be seen to immediately,

especially if you experience what appears to be a curtain coming across the

eye. The light flashes you are experiencing are floaters that sometimes pull

on the retina which is why any change must be investigated further in case of

a retina tear.

By Matt - 2011-08-19

Surgery to remove the vitreous and replace it with donor vitreous or saline is

a major surgery and will only be performed if eyesight is seriously impaired. If

you can read and drive consider yourself lucky and just learn to accept them.

Hypnosis conducted by a trained, certified hypno-therapist is often quite

sucessful.

By Juan Herredia - 2011-08-18

I am surprised about your information. I had many disturbing floaters due to

RETINA DETACHMENT so you suggestions are useless. They obscure my

vision so it is not something which you can forget or avoid. Is there anything

to get rid of them

By Diego - 2011-08-16

I'm also 24 and they are also only on my left eye. I'm all day sitting at the

computer, I don't do excercise, but I've got a healthy diet. I'll get back to

swimming to see if it helps. These things are driving me nuts.

I agree with Steve's comment above Normal floaters that appear as a spect

or stand can be ignored over time However after cataract surgury i now have

a superfluous like veil moving back and forth in both eyes I strongly

recomment that anyone considering cataract surgury ask their doctor about

this I did but too late I'd never have had the surgery if i had known it could

cause this condition

Yeah right ignore them, I can see through em 1/2 the time anymore, I can

only see properly out of 1 eye, I'd love to ignore em but my vision is too

blurred by them. I used to be avle to look around quickly and that would psh

them out of the way. It doesn't work anynmore and I am getting concerned

about driving etc.

By david - 2011-08-06

I began seeing eye floaters at 11. its relates to sports and pressure in the

eyes. Everytime I have a period of time doing weight lifting I develop eye

floaters. Also I was in a fighting sport at 12 years old, and I noticed a lot of

flashes in the middle of the fight. I remember I was nervous that day and

maybe something caused me to see those flashes, after some days I noticed

th eye floaters.

By John - 2011-08-05

Go to an optometrist or optician and get them to do a pressure test on your

eyes. AMD is Age Related Macular Degeneration, basically the back of your

eye breaks down and causes floaters end result is blindness! It causes

floaters in the first part of the disease but it can be slowed down and in most

cases stopped but not reversed if left too late!

By John - 2011-08-05

BEWARE! Floaters in the eye can be a symptom of AMD and GLAUCOMA.

Both AMD and Glaucoma are again asymptomatic of diabetes. Ask yourself

are you over weight? Do you have thirsts? Does diabetes run in your family?

For AMD, did any parents have really large glasses? Do you drink too much

alcohol? See your optometrist or optician - get an eye pressure test! See a

professional before going on the internet!

By Jennifer - 2011-08-03

Thank you for all this very valuable information...eye floaters definitely come

and go to some degree and I have had them very bad at times and then

hardly noticeable at other times. Something I have found helpful is to actually

"will" them to go away....i.e. I actually tell them to go away, and then forget

about them, and amazingly enough they really do lessen. Hope this helps...?

By Harmony - 2011-08-01

Why is weightlifting bad? And, what has it got to do with floaters? You can't

just say that without backing it up with facts, literature, personal experience,

intuition, divine channeling, or, a visit from a UFO... Something! Or was it

inspired knowledge sent from your own floaters?

I don't like living anymore, I'm suffering 6 months now and they haven't

Well, it's good to see I'm not alone in the world of fighting and trying to get rid

of eye floaters. In my right eye, I am seeing a little small circular shaped

floater the color of my eye with what looks to be a hair extending from it go all

over my right eye. It freaking drives me insane.

In my left eye, there is like a grub-worm like floater that moves on its own, it's

like its alive or something, it has a tail. It's like a dragon-shaped, tubular

shaped worm creature thingamajiggy. It drives me crazy. I'm thinking I'm

getting these floaters because of my recent long times spent driving on the

interstate to work and back. I wish they would go away!

is wrong and I would have to learn to live with them, also got the bit about the

brain will ignore them. That was 2 years ago and my life is becoming a misery

I have had Floaters for a couple of years and after i period of time learned to

Ignore them, until recently i went to see a retina specialist. I got to know that i

have holes in my retina, which could lead to retina detachment. The floaters i

have are due to the holes in the retina. It is not in all cases, but just in case do

get a check up.

I have been noticing floaters in my eyes off and on for years. But they really

eatting healthy

I have had numerous eye tests and they say my eyes are fine. I have even

been up the eye hospital as ive been that scared.

I aslo spend 10 hours a day behind computer screens doing shift work so i

For the past 6 weeks I have been suffering terrible eyefloaters all other my

vision. All of a sudden they just came, its not the clear ones either. Most of

them are dark, clumpy, stringy =[. I am only 22 years old and I seriously dont

want to live my life like this. I also have a daughter and another one due soon

but i feel like my life has been taken over by these stupid eye floaters.

It only started after I came back from Holiday. I was laying down and looking

at the white walls aand i could see 3 or 4 obvious eye floaters. A few weeks

later they just started to get worse and I now see them all the time and more

have developed, 15-20 eye floaters. I did bump my head playing football,

could this be the cause?

Everytime I look down then up they all float across my vision.

A followup to my last message; I went to my opthamologist after having

floaters apprear in my right eye about 9 days ago. The opathmologist found a

horseshoe shaped tear in my retina and insisted on performing YAG lazer

treatments on the tear. My floaters have actually gotten worse following the

lazer treatment but what choice did I have. Anyway, my point is, see an

opthamologist right away after they first appear...dont wait...because they

may indicate a problem with other internal parts of the eye. Now I'm taking it

try to encourage myself to apply to my everyday life.

By Mike McGonigle - 2011-06-28

I do find such comments interesting and helpful. BUT - I am so confused! I've

had floaters since I was a teenager and whilst I found them annoying I learnt

to live with them. Over the last few years my floaters have got MUCH worse.

To the extent now that I have very blurred vision when the worse of them

move over my central field of vision. I CANNOT ignore them now - as much

as I'd like to! I even think I shouldn't be driving any more. I am confused when

some people say they can come and go. How? If the liquid they are in stays

for a lifetime I cannot see how they can getter any better - ever - save for

them breaking down into smaller parts. Help!! Mike - 50 years old in Norfolk,

I developed a floater in my left eye over a year and a half ago and went to the

opthamologist who told me exactly what you all have been saying. This

weekend my right eye started flashing and I went to another doc cuz mine

was on vacation. He said no tears but then he used a qtip pressing hard and

said he was looking at my retina. Guess what, I now have a ton of floaters in

that eye instead of just the one. I am wondering if he made it worse? Any

thoughts anyone? I am sick about this also.

computer work ( which I do alot) is really fustrating. Is there any truth to the

my left eye, and some faint brownish strands in right eye.I think and have

great conviction that if conventional medicine can't help,as it has failed with

HIV AIDS too, then i believe recent surge in energy healing such as the Tao,

reiki, pranic healing etc can be of help. But with this, one thing is assured.

You have to have a dauntless faith that you will get healed. Grand master

Chui koak narrates grand feats achieved with energy healing in all diaspora in

his book 'Pranic healing'. Energy-healer Robert Bruce has talked of similar

feats in his 'Online works of Robert Bruce'. Mantak Chia has also recounted

such feats in his ' Awaken the healing light of the Tao'. We all have to give it a

try. Energy healing is non-invasive unlike western medicine.

I first encountered floaters in my right eye only after trying exercises for my

eyes and, perhaps, managed to over-do it. Like most have commented

already, one eventually gets used to them. 2 years after losing my job, I was

diagnosed with clinical depression and manage to control it now with

Fluoxetine (Prozac). I'm now taking vitamin B-12 which has been miraculous

in bringing stamina back. Ever since I started taking in addition Paldo Aloe

Vera BOTH my eyesight and floaters have improved. I can see my TV from

across the room. My right eye perfectly, my left eye slightly blurry, but without

need of glasses. I used to be able to look to the side and the floater would

come into view at will. Sometimes sharp as a tack for a second then blurring

again. Now, as I write this, I barely see a faint smudge come into view. The

Aloe Vera drink cleanses your body dramatically. At least it has worked for

me. I'm 61.

By Robbie - 2011-06-04

Good article but you should ALWAYS see an Ophthalmologist NOT an

Optometrist (big difference)if you are having issues with your eyes. They are

nothing to toy with. Espesically, if you have diabetes. Exercising your eyes

helps, without moving your head look to the right 5 seconds then to the left 5

seconds now look up and down for 5 seconds. Next look at something that is

very far away and then something close up all for 5 seconds. Repeat often.

WEAR GLASSES. As far as the moon thing goes, I think it would help

because of all the details in its surface and because of the surrounding

darkness. Light can strain the eyes. Eating right is very important. Dropping

sugar & alochol only makes sense.

My eye floaters developed 5 months after LASIK surgery. No floaters before. I

now have 4 or 5 long lines in my left eye as well as several see through

bubbles. At first they caused me so much stress and anxiety. I am trying to

adapt and am even getting help though cognitive behavioral therapy. I

certainly think by focusing our thoughts on them makes them appear more

pronounced. They are a real pain but I believe that the human mind will

eventually adapt and accept them as background noise. Some people have

serious eye floaters that can disrupt vision. This must be very hard. I'm

confident that safer techniques to remove eye floaters will become available

in the future what with a growing elderly population and advances in medical

I have floaters since i was 10. Have been having floaters for 7 years now. But

recently, i see new floaters in my left eye. I got rather worried. Is it due to the

fact that i tend to rub my eyes often that causes cracks in my eyes, thus

resulting in floaters? They are so annoying sometimes =(

By Tracy L. - 2011-05-29

It is mainly scar tissue in different places in the eye that cause this. The

floaters are a projection of scar tissue. It seems people don;t really know what

they are.

By Tracy L. - 2011-05-29

And an opthamologist should look, by dilating the eyes with drops and looking

in with a special microscope, they also take pictures of the inside of the eye.

By Tracy L. - 2011-05-29

I have toxoplasmosis, dormant since I was about 14, in my right eye. At that

time, it was found that that the several previous active infections had caused

so much scar tissue on my macula, that one more could lead to blindness. I

was put on heavy medications by a macula specialist, and it went dormant.

The floaters led to the discovery of toxoplasmosis. Which I sort of ignored

until I was about 12 and could describe them to someone. So they should

NOT be ignored if new, see a Dr before looking at your diet, lifting or gazing at

the moon. Just today I saw more than I have ever seen. I am scared. I am

making an appt with the same macula specialist tat is still in practice.

Hi, I'm 20, and I have had eye floaters for about 1 year now. I got my eyes

tested right after I first discovered I had a few and my eyes checked out fine. I

got the same story as everyone else "you'll just have to ignore them". I get my

eyes checked once a year now, and I'm trying to live as healthy as possible.

I've gotten a few more in this last year, and I'm worried at that rate, I'll have

nothing but floaters in my vision by 30. My question to you all is "how many

floaters do you have"? I have 4 in my right eye and I don't think any in my left.

all the comments from people makes me feel not so alone!

I am so thankful for all the input by all you who are experiencing floaters.I

have one that looks like a 3-D knat flying aroung my eye. Went to the eye Dr.

same story ignore it and maybe it will go away.I have only had it one week

and am 71 years old. Now I feel lucky it did not happen sooner as some of

you.I am trying the moon tonight and oh yes the wine sounded good also.

By miss.brumby - 2011-05-11

just a quick question... where did you get the picture of the moon from?

By David - 2011-05-07

Hi I'm David and I would like to share that I started getting floaters at around

the age of 14 which seems very young compared to most people. I'm now 17

and I have to say that I don't really think about them anymore though

occasionally if I am reading in a bright room they can be annoying. Also, they

began to occur just before I became slightly short sighted but I don't really

know if that has anything whatsoever to do with them. The eye floaters used

to really annoy me but you will get used to them if you have them, eventually

as mentioned, your brain will ignore them and it will be like they are not there.

I can't speak for everyone of course as many of you may be less fortunate

and have a worse extent of eye floaters than I.

By Sean - 2011-04-30

To who ever wrote the article above:

Thank you so much for the tip of looking at the moon for a short while, to get

rid of the floaters i have in my eye sight. It's funny though because at first i

thought , that the floaters in my eye sight, were the impression of flying bugs

that few into my eyes outside, like the type of bug called a tiny little nat bug,

or that it could of extremely small blood vessels in my eyes that might burst,

but i kind of doubted that because i do go to the eye docter, and he's never

spotted anything bad inside my eyes before.

By Jake - 2011-04-27

Hi there ,I am 18 and have had very annoying eye floaters for 7 months now ,

I got very worried about them and when I went to the optictions they told me

that they are nothing to worry about just try and ignore them which has been

backed up from what people have said here , however I have also discovered

that after reading this , I may have found the cuase of these floaters , some

people have said weightlifting cause strain on the eyes which develops this

floaters and I regulary weightlift on average 4/5 days a week.However I have

no intention of stopping weightlifting has its something I really enjoy, I try to

ingmore them but its impossible at time, there are cures for many thing but

not something like this ,its unfair , it would be a huge weight of my shoulders if

I can eliminate these floaters , are this vitimin c's any good from use of others

on here ?

when they appeared i thought its some type of eye cancer (Thanks God its

not ) .I visited to many doctors here during mid and late 90's but they didnt

found any thing some people and doctors laughed at me when i stated to told

them.So i just ignored them and start living with them & thought that im the

only person living with them.I even dont know what these are called even

april-2011.One day i just googled eye diseses.I just saw word "Eye

Floaters".From that day im thanking God Almighty that im not alone :).So its a

long long time that im living with them.But I always thanks God that i can see

the world around me.

Hey, I have floaters too. I see them any time I look at "white objects" or in

other words "light- colored objects" I hate the fact of Surgery, as I already took

one when I was a baby.I can't enjoy my life because of them, I try to avoid

them, but they just keep coming where ever I go. Is there anyway to stop

them PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Steve Sperry - 2011-04-18

Eye floaters are caused but several factors. But the most common factor and

the one that probably affects you, if you are an American, is Candida. It's an

overgrowth of natural yeast in the body. It is caused by eating too much

sugar.

Google "CNC Diet" and click "useful links"

then scroll down and

click "Candida Symptoms and Information"

read about it. If you Have many of the symptoms listed then YOUR floaters

ARE caused by an overgrowth of candida. I did the diet and noticed a large

reduction in the amount of floaters in my eyes. Good Luck ,

"The cure is knowledge."

By raymond - 2011-04-16

After reading the comments about weight lifting(which I don't do) it got me to

thinking about what I did this last week when foaters appeared. I used an

inversion bed for spinal decompression applying 100# of pressure with my

arms on the bed handles (similar to lifting weights). Also, did excessive

straining when I was constipated earlier in the week. Does seem these kinds

of pressures puts excessive strain of the eyes. Just a warning and something

for others to think about.

By Lorraine - 2011-04-03

Have been living with floaters in the right eye for over 30 years. (A pain to

deal with when using a microscope!) The condition worsened recently, and I

think it was due to increased stress, and high blood glucose. Will be

exercising more, watching the diet, staring at the moon and retiring. Thanks

By Lastly - 2011-04-01

And I do see and have always been able to see them in darker settings.

I have noticed that they do not bother me as much when looking at things that

are further away. Like outside on a bright day or the tv across the room, I only

see them when I think about it.

Its the HD screen. I have looked on the internet for the Anti Glare screen that

goes over the screen but haven't found any that are large enough. This

weekend I am going to buy some window tint, the lightest color I can find.

Hopefully that will help.

By continued... - 2011-04-01

I have changed the brightness on the computer, and even tried the white on

black for vision impaired. That really helped reduce the irritation, but using

that, it distorts images, making them look like x-rays. Mac does not allow you

to change color schemes like you can with Windows.

I can't count how many times I have changed the lighting in the room. I have

also moved my office into a different room with less daylight and am able to

control the lighting better. That helped a tiny bit but I still have to change the

intensity of the lighting through out the day.

By cont.. - 2011-04-01

I have never been concerned about them until recently when I bought a new

computer and didn't think about them, unless I noticed them in a bright light

and even though they bother me when using the computer, they don't bother

me when doing other things, outside or watching tv.

Since I have gotten the new iMac 27in HD (awesome computer by they way,

beautiful images) My floaters have really started bothering me.

I have used computers for years and even for several hours a day for work

and I may notice them from time to time, but Not really bother me. But, since

this new HD computer they bother me all the time.

Sometimes when I am reading text on the computer reading becomes

difficult. Some floaters will float in front of the words and I can't read it, have to

move my head to see better. Now that the floaters are bothering me me they

bother me on my non-HD computer I use for work as well.

By CharLar - 2011-04-01

The first time I noticed floaters was back in High School. I had a couple small

ones, barely noticeable, and one long one that was more noticeable. They

have increased in numbers through the years. I compare it to a Snow Globe!

Move your eyes they go crazy, and the fall when eyes are still....

Every now and then I would move my eye a floater will move just right and I

would swear I saw a bug or something run across the floor. I would freak out

thinking it was a mouse or a big bug scurrying across the floor . When I didn't

see anything I then realized it must have been a floater. LOL

By Dano - 2011-03-27

I`m glad to know that floaters are normal now i can ignore it.

By Jimmy from NJ - 2011-03-25

I want to be a guinea pig for any experimental drug on the market that can

eliminate floaters. I don't care about anything else in life right now, other than

getting rid of my floaters. I am 54 yrs. old, have had them ALL my life, had to

listen to every FRIGGIN doctor tell me there is no cure, and I have seen them

worsen "right before my eyes" in recent years. In BOTH eyes, I have milky

white globs, I have "eyelash-shaped" floaters, hundreds of strands, floaters

that change white colors to beige color. I have them settle in front of my retina

casting their shadows so I have trouble driving at night, following a golf ball,

following a baseball, or something as simple as reading the newspaper. So to

all you sufferers out there...fear not, as you have now met THE PERSON

WITH THE WORSE CASE OF FLOATERS!!!

bibliomaniac and cant imagine life without books and reading.also can any

one tell if excessive masturbation or sex could be the reason for floaters

?does that activity increase the pressure in the eye ??

By Eagle - 2011-03-20

Ive had floaters for just over a year, im 25. My job as an ornithologist means

im constantly looking into the sky, therefore i see them much worse than if i

lived in a dark room. Sometimes i confuse floaters for birds which is annoying.

Anyway, I drink alot of alcohol, which is mostly beer, so i'll swap that for red

wine and see what happens.

serious risk to your vision.

By Steve in SC - 2011-03-14

The people who wrote this article obviously are not familiar with floaters that

obscure and blur your vision. You can't IGNORE looking through a large, grey

patch that not only blocks out light but distorts the image AND GIVES YOU

BLURRY VISION. You can NOT ignore that! This is absurd. They are

obviously trying to sell us something. It's a shame that we live in a world

where advertisers can blatantly lie and get away with it.

By Chandler - 2011-03-13

Hi, my name is Chandler and I have a similar problem to this. When I look at

the sky, my computer screen ( sometimes ), my white walls in my bedroom,

and the clouds, I see usually what seems to be a black dot. But when I focus

in more on this black dot it's more of a wiggly line, wherever I move my

RIGHT eye, it follows. My grandfather was diagnosed with Retinal

Detachment and thats what he said I probably have. But usually Retinal

Detachment is caused by fighting, getting hit in the eye, and old age. I don't

know what to do, I have bad anxiety and it scars the living SHIT out of me,

currently; since I just moved to another state, I have no family doctor yet nor

an eye doctor.

By Rosie G., Chicago - 2011-03-07

I have noticed a change in my floaters since I've changed my eatting habits.

It's hard to not want to focus on them at times, but I do try to forget. Daylight

and computers are now my enemy as the glare causes the floaters to become

more noticeable. But as Shirleen said, a girls gotta work. LOL We all just have

to stay positive as we could have no vision at all. I'm going to start starring at

the moon now. Anything is worth a try to get rid of these ulgy lines in my

vision. Wolfgang - your too funny, maybe I'll start howling too.

By Wolfgang - 2011-03-05

I stared at the moon all night. I didn't see any difference with the floaters but I

did notice the hair on my arms and hands began to grow thicker and I had this

uncontrollable urge to howl. I also had the strongest hunger for lamb chops.

Thanks all. Acid/Alkaline aspect sounds right. Am having floater wisp like a

bubble seemed like a bug at first. Could be more than usual coffee in recent

days and gave blood so metabolism is off. Diet is vegetable based with fish

tofu cheese & yogurt and I exercise moderately all the time. Will cutback on

dairy and coffee and report back. Best to all for good sight.

By Anita - 2011-02-25

Try the acid/alkaline PH test. Buy the strips from a health food store. Pee on

the strip in the morning. It will tell if you are acid or alkaline. Then check the

web on the diet for alkaline solutions. I stopped coffee, sugar, dairy and

added Perfect Food from Garden of Life at the health food store. Got alkaline

in a week and lots of issues in my body have been solved. Also bought the

Kangan water device for alkaline water and will start that soon.

By Ally - 2011-02-23

Hi everyone,

I have had floaters for as long as I can remember & I'm 33 now. They come

and go in terms of severity and are never totally away from my line of vision.

Can anyone recommend any natural solutions for this, I'm skeptical of

everything I've read.

Thanks

By Angie - 2011-02-21

I just developed flashes & floaters a week ago. My doctor said it's not serious

at this point, but told me not to bend over, strain, or lift anything heavier than 5

pounds for 2 weeks until he checks again. My retina is not detached, but

there is a bit of separation. I'm thinking the weight lifters need to be careful

and maybe hold off if they're seeing problems after lifting.

By tere - 2011-02-15

I have had floaters and light flashes that continued to get worse for years.

Result was iron deficient mainly. Changed to organic diet, plenty of water and

supplements. Rebounding for exercising. Breathing deep oxygen, became

more spiritual and caring and never have anymore problems. Change your

life! If bad food choices made you sick, try good food choices to make you

well. How can you get life from dead food?

Page 26: Eye Floaters Cure - Natural Treatment for Eye Floaters

I started seeing floaters 2 weeks ago. I'm 32 years old. I have a couple that

that the spaghetti-ish appearance, but also have a couple dots too.

My diet is anything but great. I have too much sugar, not enough water, and

very little vegetables. I will be changing that starting today (*that* is going to

be hard).

I came across a site about a doctor using (and the inventor of) a YAG laser.

http://eyefloaters.com/

I read every single page on the site. It sounds very promising, but like many

others, I'm hesitant (not to mention it cost close to $2K).

What are your guys's thoughts on that site? (eyefloaters.com). My

ophthalmologist immediately said "Don't even *think* about doing that" (which

kind of aligns with how Dr. Karickhoff states that most will react that way). She

got rather offended (it seems) too. ;)

I also have a little bit of OCD and continue to focus on the floaters. It's proving

hard not to :(

By tiky - 2011-02-10

I've had my floaters for a year now. In the beginning I saw little dots that come

and go for many times. Yes, it's really disturbing me. Few months after that, I

started seeing spider webs, dots, blur vision and flashlight. The worse thing is

I can feel so much pain around my right eye, and sometimes very painful

headache. I came to visit few doctors and none of them can tell me why I had

it, yet.

Maybe I'll try the diet and start doing yoga as well. Thank you for sharing

peeps :)

GBU all.

By Neil - 2011-02-08

I have had eye floaters for around 10 years now. I also suffer from flashes

periodically. Visisted several Opthals and Optometrists and have said my

eyes are perfectly healthy with no damage at all to all components.

I am 38 years old. I can mostly ignore them except when I fixate on them

especially in a light flourescent light room with white walls (my office) so I just

turn the lights off! Just gets frustrating!!!

I did go visit a Doctor on the West Coast of the US who claims he can use a

YAG laser to vapourise them but after looking at mine he said that they were

too close to the Retina to safely treat... he also mentioend that he had hit

another patients retina and left him with a permenant blind spot so, needless

to say I this put me off anyway! Sometimes I think we ahve to be thankfull for

what we have. Floaters are not the end of the world... we could be a lot worse

off!

me...especially when driving, reading, putting on makeup, or watching

television...or any other time I really want to see clearly...which is all the time,

really...it's just really annoying, and I wish they would go away!!

By infinite - 2011-01-16

Does diabetes cause eye floaters?

By Dainius - 2011-01-10

TO ANONYM:

Yes, apparently weightlifting is responsible for eye floaters. It is because the

eye pressure increases greatly as you hold your breath to push/pull heavy

weights. This causes micro fractures, and tiny particale detachments of retina.

This wouldn't be such a huge problem, but then something wrong happens in

the body and those tiny particles clump together. And here we go - curvy,

groovy, weby floaters having a party in our eyes.

but I could be with little effort. Mom is diabetic and her sugars have been all

over the place until she moved in with me 2 years ago. She is now eating

more like I eat and her eyes have improved and she has lost 55 pounds. Now

{5/5}As far as I now know the best cure for floaters is to get rid of stress from

your life. This is the best solution, which have worked for many. However, I

have no idea how to make the nowadays lifestyle less stressful…

Hope that my experiences so far will help you not to feel like you are alone

(there is a lot of us out there!) and might even help to get better!

Best wishes to you all and say no to the word FLOAT! (Unless you are one a

ship, though)

By Dainius - 2010-11-30

{4/5}As of my life style now, I have stopped doing any weight lifting, now I do

yoga instead. My diet is now very healthy (vegs, green leafs, oily fish, whole

grain, and no alcohol), as it was before I have developed floaters. Another

thing that I have found helpful is staying away from your laptop, PC and TV.

Especially PC and laptop! The less stress your eyes incur the better.

Furthermore, most of us have poor sitting position, which puts a lot of

pressure on spine nerves, and makes you see more and more annoying

floaters.

By Dainius - 2010-11-30

{3/5}Since then I have seen many (4-5 in a year and a half) professional

opticians and they have said the same thing. Not much you can do about it,

but try to ignore them and you might just be among the lucky few who actually

stop seeing them with time.

A few other “solutions” that I was provided with from them included:

1. Taking prescription iodine eye drops for a month (mainly to stop more

floated developing). They used to sting like hell though.

2. Eating a spoonful of natural honey in the morning and evening.

3. No weight lifting! (One of my life passions)

4. Healthy diet (I was on a healthy one for the most of my life)

5. Getting rid of stress! (Advised by many as the best cure there is! However,

I haven’t figured out how to implement it yet…)

7. Doing yoga (to relieve pressure on the nerves in many parts of the body).

{2/5}When I went to see the optician, he said that I was perfectly fine, and

there are hundreds of hundreds of reasons why one might develop floaters

and there is not much to do about it (except of a £5000 eye surgery to replace

the eye vitreous [clear gel inside the eye] with saline injection. By the way,

this surgery more often develops more floaters and blurry vision instead of

doing any help). I was sort of happy (that it is not a retina detachment) and

sad (that there is no real cure) at the same time.

{1/5} (Sorry for my post being over next few messages, there seems to be a

tight limit on words and I wanted my post to be as comprehensive as

possible)

It seems there is quite a huge community of 'floatiers' (we have to cheer

ourselves up somehow...) around the world. I have developed my first floaters

a year and a half ago. It started with me going through exams period (I was

19 at the time, 21 as of today), doing heavy weight lifting, having tonsillitis and

A LOT of other life related stresses at the same time. And then one day I

woke up seeing some sort of floating thing. I went to see my GP and he

referred me to an option the same day, to check if it is not a retina

detachment (which requires immediate eye surgery to save your vision).

I too suffer from floaters and dots in both eyes. I've been to my eye specialist

several weeks ago as I go every year for another eye problem, diagnosed as

Macular Dystrophy in my right eye. However, this in not Macular

Degeneration, but a form of it. One thing that I've learned from reading this is

that some people have had this come on since they started excersing with

heavy weights. You know it kind of makes sense. I started with heavy weights

in the last 60 days and thats when this problem took off. The article went on

to say that heavy weights or excersis causes one to put pressure on the eye

while grunting to get the excersis done. Am interested in everyones thoughts!

Thanks for the info on staring at the moon, I think it will help me and I have

always been too afraid to try that cos my eyes are usually sensitive to light

objects. What other remedies are there? I've heard carrots are very good for

your eyes so I try and eat one or so a day, is doing eye excersises good as

well? like moving your eyes around in circles?

By Loraine - 2010-11-09

Thank you for all this valuable information. I used to get lots of floaters when I

was approximately 13 years old and played volleyball. Everytime we went to

the beach to run early in the morning I would develop floaters. Now, I am 44

and I was cycling yesterday and developed floaters ones more. I cycle at

least 3 times a week for one hour. I stopped cycling and the floaters lasted

approximately 1 hour. Ones I got home and had something to eat they went

away. I do believe diet has a lot to do with it since I have been eating candy.

My boss has baskets of candy and I have a sweet tooth. Thanks again for all

the information posted. Will drink more water and eat vegetables. They are

very annoying.

Hi! I have a bunch of floaters that bother me a lot. But, I just wanted to say to

Florence (post above me) that what she has sounds different to normal

floaters. I've never heard of anything like that. Perhaps, you have suffered

some sort of injury from that shot. I'm no eye doctor or anything, but I would

recommend you see another eye specialist and ask them about it. Perhaps

the doctor that put the injection in your eye just didn't want to own up to his

mistake. Good luck!! hope you feel better.

By Florance - 2010-10-31

After receiving an eye injection for treatment of macular degeneration on the

7th time on one eye it immediately developed small black rings with yellow

light in center - doctor called these floaters. Said I would have to live with

them. This was 5 months ago - no change. This is not the ordinary floaters

that I have been accustomed to for many years. I feel that I sustained an

injury and hesitate to now return for more treatment for macular degeneration.

I am 83 in good health. I wonder what danger my sight is in due to this. It only

bothers me when I try to read. I still drive my car. Is there someone in

Sacramento area who can help me with this?

By R H - 2010-10-27

I am a vegan, eat organic- and don't drink acohol. I agree your heart needs to

be in a good state, but so too, does your liver kidneys and gall bladder and

doing something to stay calm - ie balanced and de-stressed every day is

important.I've had eye problems and they resulted from a terribly stressful

year from which I've had to do a lot to recover. Also recommend no wheat as

eliminating excess mucous from the body, including all the organs is

important. Also something which gets the blood flowing to the head each

day....

years now and they must have come and gone a few times, but, now that I'm

thinking about it maybe it was just me ignoring them. Life is becoming difficult

to enjoy to any degree as everything I experience is tainted by this affliction.

By Jackie - 2010-10-12

I will add that I had vitreous detachment in both eyes which resulted in a "sky

full" of black dots as well as huge floaters that look like spiders and all form of

debris. Very disturbing. Saw the opth who diagnosed. Fortunately, no retina

detachment. It seems learning to ignore them is the key, and as you all know

that is extremely difficult. My best success in doing so has been to literally get

in my car and drive cross country. It forces me to ignore them. The object is to

have your mind focus on something else that pulls you out of thinking about

them. Are they still there? Of course, but we are coexisting better!

I had to use eye drops once a day to reduce pressure in my eyes

drops I am now using is Ganfort which I put first thing in the morning The

By Diane - 2010-10-09

I began following a plant-based diet, eating very little meat and taking whole

food supplements. After a few years, my floaters decreased and are now

completely gone. I also eliminated dairy and only eat organic meat and eggs.

By Rogelio - 2010-09-14

Thank you. I have been looking for real eye floaters treatment for a long time

now. I want to avoid surgery at all costs, though. I hope following these tips

will actually help me. Thanks to the author of this very rational piece.

By Sara - 2010-09-14

What a very consoling article! I have noticed floaters for 35 years but they

increased suddenly at the weekend. I went to see a specialist who said all

was ok and I would just get used to them. They are a nuisence at the moment

but I will persist. Thank you to whoever wrote this article - I feel better now

and will look at the moon with pleasure!

By John - 2010-08-13

Great article. It makes a lot of sense and mirrors what my optomitrist told me.

Just get on with it. P.S. Don't forget the vegetables.

I once had a big problem with seeing a large amount of floaters along with

black dots that would follow my vision just like floaters. I talked to my aunt

who is an ophthamologist and she examined my eyes and said I had

toxoplasmosis which could lead to serious problems including blindness if left

untreated, but luckily it remains dorment. Moral is: sometimes they aren't

simply floaters, and you should always check with a professional before

assuming anything.

By Wally - 2010-07-23

I started getting eye floaters around the age of 20-22, but they have never

been that bad and go away. It seems like they occur more in the summer,

perhaps from strained vision (glare). I also work in front of a computer every

day, and more than the regular person so perhaps that could contribute?

On the other hand I consider myself on the very healthy spectrum, bike to

work everyday, workout, swim sometimes all in the same day, eat well and

pretty moderate with alcohol. So I'm not sure attributing it to being "healthy" is

correct. I'm thinking it's just one particular part of my diet though...

By nutritionist - 2010-06-09

Eye floaters are a common symptom of yeast overgrowth. If your diet is high

in sugar and yeasty products then it's possible to reduce your eye floaters by

consuming a strict anti-candida diet. No sugar or alcohol and plenty of

vegetables. Try it.

By Visitor - 2010-06-08

Did any tried Eye floaters removed system. I have floaters, and I by this if its

good.

By bryan - 2010-05-31

Fantastic and superbly rational piece. I'm going to try to live up to these

recommendations. Thanks.

By Joaquin - 2010-05-29

Well there are also eye exercise recommendations somewhere in this site

which should help your eyes strengthen and at least help prevent future eye

floaters. The Eye Floaters Removal System goes in deep depth about this

and a few other alternative options.

By tim - 2010-05-28

interesting article. i've had floaters all my life; however, they seem to worsen

as i get older. now they are at a constant and irritating level. i see them all the

time. my vision is kind of murky with all the debris floating in there. grr. i like

the diet and exercise idea (seems to be a cure for everything), but isn't there

anything else that can be done?

them? I have a healthier lifestyle now, and I can thank my eye floaters for that

:) However, they are annoying! We shouldn't tolerate eye floaters. I will try the

methods in this site and report my progress. Will write soon.

By SUSAN - 2010-05-24

I've had floaters from the age of 16. I thought that I was the only person to

have them. I have learned to adapt & live with having floaters however I can

agree through experience that having a healthier life style and exercising

daily does help to reduce the apperances of floaters

By Ed - 2010-05-24

Not sure if the gazing at the moon works. Im going to try it starting tonight. As

for "ignoring them", it's difficult to do so when you're constantly reminded of

them. Wish there was a real cure for them

By Dan - 2010-05-24

Does gazing at the moon really work? I've tried it for a few days and I do have

a slightly better night vision, but can't really notice an eye floaters

improvement.
