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.

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.

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!

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

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 ?

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 am 50 years old and have eye floaters for a long time but I was used to it
until recently while reading in a hot summer day I felt something went loose
inside my eyes with some pain that lasted for over a week - it was a brand
new eye floater and this one is transparent and very annoying indeed. hope a
doctor can come up with a solution for these things soon.

I am 20 years young, depressed, sad and desperate. The only thing that
matters in life are those floaters. It's like I'm under water. Clear vision was

I don't like living anymore, I'm suffering 6 months now and they haven't
changed a thing. I really don't know what to do but hoping to get a surgery. I
lost my girlfriend, my smile, my joy to live.

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
with these things. Even driving now can be a problem at times. Helps to know

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

I do lift weights at the Gym to keep in shape but surely this cant be the reason
for my Floaters? I havent been to the Gym for 3 weeks as im scared its going

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

experiencing floaters since a very young age. What made me come to this
page today was someone turned on every light in the room and they become
more annoying...I was curious to see how many people experience them and
also to see if they are a health risk. There is some good advice I will take and
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.

I am new to the world of floater; I've only had them a few days and they are
not welcome. I have an appointment with a retina specialist soon, but
computer work ( which I do alot) is really fustrating. Is there any truth to the
working out theory? There are so many benefits I hate to stop weight lifting in
order to minimize the floaters. Also, is stress correlated to these floaters?

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.

these opthalmologists as they are the person for ur glasses & ultimately this
floaters , they are having all financial gains to play with eyes of people .

I am 30 years old and have had the gray floaters in both eyes for a few years.
A few months ago I began to see a black floater in my right eye. I immediately
contact my eye doctor who said it was nothing to worry about. I eat a very
healthy diet, execise and take supplements. I was glad when I found this
board and read all of the individual stories and felt relieved. It is very scary to
have floaters but I guess it is part of the again process.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ,

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

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 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!!!

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

something to maybe decrease and some way of possibly gradualy stopping
them.

{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…)
Eye Floaters Cure - Natural Treatment for Eye Floaters http://www.aboutfloaters.com/cure.htm
29 of 34 21-03-2012 10:40
6. Taking fish oil supplements or eating a lot of oily (i.e. salmon) fish.
7. Doing yoga (to relieve pressure on the nerves in many parts of the body).
By Dainius - 2010-11-30
{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.
By Dainius - 2010-11-30
{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).
By Bruce from CA. - 2010-11-29
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!

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

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
