Had severe Vitreous detachment in 2016. Both eyes detached within 4 months. Had Weiss ring in both eyes. Terrible. Tried Laser and it broke up Weiss ring but was still unbearable. Traveled to Wills Eye Hospital In Philadelphia where Dr. Regillo, Head of Retinal Surgery, performed Vitrectomy on both eyes 30 days apart. 8 years later, my sight is still crystal clear.

I have a traumatic PVD after being punched by a grown man. How fast did you get cataracts post vitrectomy? Have you had any other complications in 8 years? I hesitate to get a vitrectomy because I'm too damn scared and it's bad for eye health, it increases oxygen in the eye. But I was miserable at the beach the floaters were everywhere. We need vitreous reformation & hydrogels.
Thank you, Dr. Cohen. I had an onset of floaters (Weiss Ring) in 2021 and was diagnosed with a Retina Tear. I had Laser Surgery to seal the tear but no changes in the floaters. I was becoming very depressed. Finally, my retina detached a few months later and I had an emergency Vitrectomy with a wonderful retina specialist. I researched for months what I could do to help alleviate floaters. After my Vitrectomy and gas bubble to seal the detachment, a cataract did rapidly develop. Once the gas bubble was dissolved I was able to get cataract surgery in the eye with the Vitrectomy. I also had a retina tear in my right eye more recently that was attended to immediately upon the symptoms of floaters. All is well in both of my eyes. I have been taking the supplements recommended for several months and I can testify to the fact that they work for me. Thank God for opthalmologists and retina specialists.

69 YO female - had a set of pull down stairs land on top of my head. Thankfully, no bleeding, just put ice pack on top of head. Two days later had headache and a HUGE floater that, like a monster arm, moved across my eye every time I blinked. Also had flashing white little lights appearing in peripheral. Did a bit of research and looked at study about MacuHealth. Eye doctor saw me immediately and saw the floater in the middle of my macula. Also said the vitreous sac had detached, no retinal issue, thank goodness. We talked about the study and I looked up MacuHealth and what was in it, along with pricing. WAs already taking many of the items in the supplement separately, so ordered the other items, also separately. This meant I was then taking many more milligrams of what was in MacuHealth, but I was doing that prior to the floater. Within a month, the floater began disappearing. After two months, it was completely gone and not returned. A follow up yearly visit showed everything had righted itself.
@karensuarez2113....Wow....I too take some of the ingredients in the suggested supplement and will now get the rest of the ingredients, maybe I'll get rid of this one mild problem so I can concentrate on getting my back and knees back in some kind of working order.

Yup,trust ur health signal..we know when it's come&ur body can't bear it anymore.. something had happened.I got blurring eye vision after knew I'm anemic.Subhannallah
Great information, great video! The explanation is very easy to understand! Thank you for sharing about "How to get rid of Eye Floaters?"! This video is exactly what we need.
@TurboTronics11 I had a lot of floaters in my eyes, little and big ones since my childhood and they are all gone. I think it would work for you too. The video from Dr. Berg on the subject helped me better understand what caused it and take the right steps.
@@alex-re5te lt was gradual. First l cut only on added sugars like sweets and fruit juices and l noticed my vision getting clearer. Later l started keto and my vision kept getting better, but still had floaters. Then l adapted my keto and cut down on too much milk produtcs (more like candida diet), and in less than a month they were gone.
My solution to floaters is stop focusing on what is inside your eyes and focus more on what’s outside of them. If you sit there looking for them it will drive you nuts. Also, mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter. God bless 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
@ I have tinnitus too. It’s interesting to say the least but what really bothers me is what I call a ‘petulant’ Eustachian tube. When it arbitrarily decides it wants to stay open it is quite annoying because I can’t hear well outside of my head but I sure can hear me inside loud and muffled 😂. I found that bending over helps but it doesn’t always last too long.
A couple of these will work. Laser therapy will work, but has "risks" and removal of the vitreous will work, which is then replaced with a gel. Don't forget, if one of these things does work - great, but if it doesn't, are you willing to lose your entire or partial sight, in one or both eyes ? Not worth it. I have about 150 - 200 floaters in my right eye, and "none" in my left eye. The rest of the cures in this video are just not true. Pie in the sky. I think even if you have floaters, you can still have great vision, and be thankful for that, and not blind, or close to blind. I've had floaters since about 15 years old, and I'm now 71 years old. You have to put up with them, and your brain learns to adjust to them. Life isn't perfect, but be happy you have eyesight, and good health otherwise.
Never ever replace your vitreous. Your eye will be dry and sensitive to light for the rest of your life. There are certain gels and oils in the vitreous, which won’t replenish and can’t be replaced. You will be on moisturizer eye drops for the rest of your life.
Sir i am really struggling with floters , whenever i go out and see sky i see thread like floters and i just cant ignore them i constantly focus on them and cant get them out of my head. It will be really helpful we u tell me how to cope with them
With respect, you may be basing your post on personal experience and surely the Doctor in this video is more qualified to offer advice than someone saying "You have to put up with floaters".
I was rid of all floaters by laser in my right eye and most in my left eye except for one kind of a spider webby one. I just ignore it most of the time because it just seems to bounce from left to center and back. It bugs me but I don’t go nuts over it either. I was told by an optometrist to find a Retinal Opthamologist. I did and he was great.😁
Thanks for the great advice. I have floater in both eyes. I considered laser treatment but many people in the forums said it made thing worse. I don’t notice them so much these days maybe I’ll try the supplements. The vitrectomy is reserved as a last resort!
I got experience … it will gone after I started exercise …must exercise regularly to allowed blood flow to the eye because some floaters happen because less blood to the eye
Floaters are not an issue of blood flow. When you exercise the motion in your eyes causes the gel to change its position as well as the position of the floaters. That's why you see them when you exercise.
I have a question I like your video can you have cardiac surgery cause I’m having that problem I’m seeing floaters after my cardiac surgery and a little blurry. Could it be the lens that is has to be exchange can I have an answer to that thank you.
It's not the lens. After cataract surgery floaters can become more noticeable. This happens because the floaters were less noticeable due to the effect of cataract blocking light into the eye. After surgery a lot more light comes into the eye and the floaters become more noticeable.
I didn't have floaters till a newly jabbed friend visited me early in the jabbing when everyone was terrified, after they left I realized I now have floaters, not in any way severe but annoying none the less. I was told to use Serrapeptase which I have been using since but I still have them, I keep using because I have surgery scars that have diminished considerably but I will try the suggested supplement. I've been extremely leery of any kind of surgery and/or medication since the jab. I just don't trust anything any more. I am 80 and female, also happily pure blood and Canadian.
I've had a huge blob like floater in my right eye and a long line floater in my left eye since early 20s. Getting lazer surgery later on this year. Hopefully it works as they been driving me nuts for 20 years
Thank you doctor. Please I was diagnosed of cataract and I was planning for the surgery when I woke up today 25/12/2024 and I noticed in my vision and start seeing some black spots in my left eyes . Please what can I do sir. Will it go when they do the cataract operation. And is it the cataract that I am yet to do that brought about the black spots that I am seeing through my vision . Please I await your response
The floaters is not related to the Cataract. If this is a recent development, you need to be checked as soon as possible to make sure that you do not have a retinal detachment.
Hi doctor. A detached retina surgery August 2021 on my left eye. I had a cateract Surgery two months later. My vision on that left eyes is not clear . I cant read with that left eye. In April 2024. I had a suden development of floater on my right eyes that had refuse to go. Is there any hope that vision on my left eye will become normal? Will floater go on my right eyes as time goes on?
If you have not checked the right eye after the floaters developed, you should do it immediately, as the risk of retinal detachment in the right eye is there. The quality of vision after retinal detachment is dependent on whether it was macula on or off detachment. Do you know?
I looked up the eye supplement for floaters a couple months ago. And instead of buying it, I already had those supplements (listed on their bottle as ingredients) around the house. So I added them into my supplement routine. I would say my floaters are about 50% more faint at this point. So there are no strong contrasting "lines" of floaters.
HI Dr. Cohen, In addition to floaters in my left eye, I have Asteroid Hyalosis. I have stopped sugar and refined carbs and have started a supplement similar to the one your recommended.
I have floaters in my both eyes since last 4 years and I had Lasik eye surgery 7 years ago. My dr.told me few days ago that my eys back muscles are so weak. I need to be careful for that. What should I do for that Plz suggest
I have a few dots here and there but for 10 years I've had this giant dune worm like floater with tentacles appear and it's about 25% of my vision, it drove me nuts for a few but I learned to deal with it but it would be nice if it goes away.
Same I have a huge stringy one in my right eye look like it’s staring at me lol but I’m adapting to it, I’m just trying to live healthy and eat right and exercise more hoping it will go away one day I’m pretty confident it will
Sir I had a severe blow on my left eye which has high myopia.After the blow l have multiple foaters formed inside my eye.As i have only the eye,right eye is of no use,pls tell how can i get rid of these eye foaters which is utterly frustrating,annoying and bothering too.The vision is not so clear as of earlier.Sudden foggy vision i experience daily.pls give me your valuable advice what should i do.Though i have gone eye check up.Drs advised to ignore them.I have also latice degeneration which had got barrage laser treatment.
What is the laser machine called that does the Vitreolysis? most ophthalmologist don't do Vitreolysis, so what type of eye doctor specialist would this be called? I have even called corneal and retina ophthalmologist and they also don't do vitreolysis
I’ve had them for 30+ years. I’ve tried the supplements several times with no change at all. Trying the drops interests me though. I’ve seen this mentioned by a couple doctors.
How is this even possible? When I was in the restroom yesterday, I noticed around thirty tiny lights floating. It's in UA-cam's recommendations today, although I've never looked for this.
@doctorilancohen To be honest, I don't have any issues with health I believe that this is a result of blood donation. Before that day, I gave 1 blood unit.
Great video and information,, never had floaters till two days ago it's like a cobweb in the middle of my eye keeps moving around been to the eye doctor wants me to come back in a week i'm Hoping they kinda just break up and go away..
I'm about to lose my mind because of clear floater in both of my eye that is increased every year . I can see even more waves of small floatees when squeezing my eye and look at sky.
have you tried blue tinted sun glasses? I use them when I drive as I have one annoying floater, which almost disappears when I put on my blue tinted sunglasses!
fasting can help, i've heard. Getting your body into autophagy state where it repairs and regenerates. Also, doing a fruit detox where your body flushes out toxins and such. It will make you feel like you have a flu, but once you are through it, you are significantly feeling better
I also heard the same, it didn't work for me, it may be because I still have other problems, and it was not for lack of trying, I've been intermittent fasting for a decade, I've done multiple 3-10 days water fasts over the years, but don't be discouraged, it seemed to work for a lot of people.
I've been on a very low carb diet with ~ 7-8 hour eating window most days and occasional 36-hour fasts for most of two years (exception: for about 4 months I had more carbs on weekends). The last two months I increased my fasting to two days a week for 24 or 36 hours at a time. I happen to notice that my floaters had disappeared. It was a pleasant surprise, I wasn't expecting that. I'm not sure when they entirely disappeared, it probably happened gradually.
I had caterac surgery this year....great....but not the same..always have had floters but suddenly last weej flashing incorner of my left eye at night .went to the doctor...he called it PVD...no riss on detatchment of retina .but its a really large chunk of the gel floating around..its almost like having a cataract going in and out....im very upset
Embrace imperfection....I had a large string like floater in the center of my vision...then it seemed to explode into thousands of tiny translucent black dots...these dots are easier to accept and deal with...what I do not understand is how did that string like floater get destroyed and move out of the center of my vision?
My floaters included one that blurs my vision that tend to move like windshield wipers. Once they move my vision is great, but this only lasts a split second.
Have had floaters for many yrs. I had cataract surgery early June and then 3weeks later. Very quickly developed secondary cataracts. I also have developed a huge change in floaters. It is like a blob moving into the field of vision. It is like wearing glasses with a huge blob or smear on them. I am fighting to get clear areas to see. I am having many headaches, and my right eye is many days twitching by the end of the day.
Iam suffering ____________________ this type of floater which opposite to retina, it disturbing strightly on numbers, things , road and etc . Sir please recomend me a solution for that
I had cataract removal on my right eye 11 months ago and I fill it didn't go well, my eye got infected twice, had to go back to the eye doctor at least 3 times, l am losing vision, there is a halo around my eye, big floater in the center of my eye and I also developed double vision. I spoke to the eye doctor and he told me, there's nothing else he can do. What should I do? Thank you!
I received blunt trauma to my left eye, they said i have PVD and since ive had eye floaters its been 9 months and i still have eye floaters, is the supplement something that could help me ? Thanks again for your advice.
Yes, steroid drops are bad news, although I HAD to use them for uveitis inflammation. Steroids weaken blood vessels and collagen, so I can imagine they could damage the vitreous humor too. Some of the newer steroids like Durezol, are truly dangerous, and I wish I had not used them. Durezol IMMEDIATELY, within 3 weeks, caused cataracts and I had to have cataract surgery. Can't be the only damage they did, IMO.
Two years ago, I had a viral infection- not Covid - I had a high temperature, headache on the side of the heafpd, general feeling of tiredness and aching bones. A few days later, I woke up with floaters in my eyes, not big, translucent. They did not bother me too much. However, there was one ver small black dot which moved around just like the floaters. I have been taking D3, K2 and zinc for 3 months now and they have disappeared, at least for the time being.
My floaters are large and very blurry. They literally block my vision in one eye. I can move them by shaking my head but only a little and they float back.
I recommend not moving your eyes to get the floaters out of the optical path. That movement turns to a jerky shake, and theoretically, it can cause a retinal detachment, which you certainly don't want or need.
@@Nikonhermit theres nothing wrong with moving your eyes around to displace it. We naturallt move our eyes around on a normal day. As long as they arent causing strain it should be fine
58 year old un renarkable eye hisory wears only readers for fine print - 24 hours after yearly eye exam (dilation & eye scan w/ pictures) develops 1 large floater right to center of line of vision. 1 month later develops red scatchy eyes & 1 year later has developed "scattered pepper" w/ 1/2 of vision like a very faint black cloud mingled w/ scattered pepper.

Hello Dr. Ive had a corneal transplant on 1 eye. And collegen cross linking. I am diagnosed with Keracotoma. I'm not sure if i spelled that right. Lol But I also have floaters. Yhey began about 2 years ago. Age 51 when they began. Over time they have lightened a bit. They are so annoying because i alway think a bug is flying in my face. Smh. Would any of these treatments help me?
I would start with the vitamins. Since you had a Corneal transplant, you must see your doctor frequently. Make sure he does a dilated exam at lest once a year.
Hello! I am 36 years old and in the past month, my floaters increased . They hadnt increaded since I was 28 years old. I have been to 3 doctors already, they checked my eye and all told me my eye is perfect. My question is... When does this stop? Do I need to keep checking my eyes everytime i feel I see new ones? I used to see only one, and now under the sun I see many with both eyes, like scattered.
I have floaters on my right eye more than in my left. I also still have a strange kind of flashes where the flashers appear as a bright laser scribing a circular arc on my right to bottom of my right eye.
Time allows floaters to fade, your brain adjusts to them naturally... So to say these suggestions work would mean no tests for at least a year AFTER the floaters appear.
It's there all the time, how can I not notice it? This came after the cataract on my left eye was removed. My eye is and was never the same again. This clearly was sloppy work.
if the floaters are in the middle of your sight and annoys you, you can try turning your head left and right quickly 20 to 30 times to get them off centre.
Thank you for your informative video. I have had floaters since my late twenties and I am now in my 60s. I have just got used to them over the years, but last August, I developed new shaped floaters and flashing lights. Last week, I developed a very large floater (the size is about half of my eye). I decided to again just get on with it, but I still have regular flashes. I would add that I also have keratoconus, which has been quite stable for about 40 years. It is the size of the new floater which bothers me. It's in the same eye as the flashes.
Same here it has been two years I am experiencing floaters it like it would be approximate 10 to 15% at night it's ok but at the time in bother me a lot.

Great information, great video! The explanation is very easy to understand! Thank you for sharing about "How to get rid of Eye Floaters?"!
This video is exactly what we need.
Yes is great ❤
Quitting sugar worked 100% for me.
My age is just 16 years and I am having a single huge floater like a web in my left eye. Will leaving sugar work for me also?
@TurboTronics11 I had a lot of floaters in my eyes, little and big ones since my childhood and they are all gone. I think it would work for you too. The video from Dr. Berg on the subject helped me better understand what caused it and take the right steps.
Thank you. I was wondering if sugar is a cause
Would you still eat carbs like pasta and bread
@@alex-re5te lt was gradual. First l cut only on added sugars like sweets and fruit juices and l noticed my vision getting clearer. Later l started keto and my vision kept getting better, but still had floaters. Then l adapted my keto and cut down on too much milk produtcs (more like candida diet), and in less than a month they were gone.
Great video, full of information. You forgot to show or mention the exact currently supplement.
My solution to floaters is stop focusing on what is inside your eyes and focus more on what’s outside of them. If you sit there looking for them it will drive you nuts. Also, mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it don’t matter. God bless 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Yes, initially I was not used to it but later I have ignore those floaters, so it have not bother me.
Yes I use this strategy for both floaters and tinnitus but sometimes it's easier said than done
@ I have tinnitus too. It’s interesting to say the least but what really bothers me is what I call a ‘petulant’ Eustachian tube. When it arbitrarily decides it wants to stay open it is quite annoying because I can’t hear well outside of my head but I sure can hear me inside loud and muffled 😂. I found that bending over helps but it doesn’t always last too long.
Great practical realistic advice thanks for the encouragement God bless in Jesus name
For that I got contactlinses now. BUT it only give you 2% peace. I have severe floater
Is there a USA brand that would be recommended?
Also, I experience soreness along with the floaters.
A couple of these will work. Laser therapy will work, but has "risks" and
removal of the vitreous will work, which is then replaced with a gel. Don't
forget, if one of these things does work - great, but if it doesn't, are you
willing to lose your entire or partial sight, in one or both eyes ? Not worth it.
I have about 150 - 200 floaters in my right eye, and "none" in my left eye.
The rest of the cures in this video are just not true. Pie in the sky.
I think even if you have floaters, you can still have great vision, and be
thankful for that, and not blind, or close to blind. I've had floaters since
about 15 years old, and I'm now 71 years old. You have to put up with them,
and your brain learns to adjust to them. Life isn't perfect, but be happy you
have eyesight, and good health otherwise.
Never ever replace your vitreous. Your eye will be dry and sensitive to light for the rest of your life. There are certain gels and oils in the vitreous, which won’t replenish and can’t be replaced. You will be on moisturizer eye drops for the rest of your life.
Sir i am really struggling with floters , whenever i go out and see sky i see thread like floters and i just cant ignore them i constantly focus on them and cant get them out of my head. It will be really helpful we u tell me how to cope with them
bro ur 71 tho i have my whole life ahead of me😢
With respect, you may be basing your post on personal experience and surely the Doctor in this video is more qualified to offer advice than someone saying "You have to put up with floaters".
Well that is the same for grant, what you talking about

I was rid of all floaters by laser in my right eye and most in my left eye except for one kind of a spider webby one. I just ignore it most of the time because it just seems to bounce from left to center and back. It bugs me but I don’t go nuts over it either. I was told by an optometrist to find a Retinal Opthamologist. I did and he was great.😁
Thanks for the great advice. I have floater in both eyes. I considered laser treatment but many people in the forums said it made thing worse. I don’t notice them so much these days maybe I’ll try the supplements. The vitrectomy is reserved as a last resort!
I got experience … it will gone after I started exercise …must exercise regularly to allowed blood flow to the eye because some floaters happen because less blood to the eye
Floaters are not an issue of blood flow. When you exercise the motion in your eyes causes the gel to change its position as well as the position of the floaters. That's why you see them when you exercise.
In my case it’s because of high BP… I didn’t realise it .. once the BP normal after I exercise , the floaters reduce a lot and almost none
Yes it happen to me@@matnor9937
@@matnor9937 that would be a case of glaucoma (pressure in the eye)

I have a question I like your video can you have cardiac surgery cause I’m having that problem I’m seeing floaters after my cardiac surgery and a little blurry. Could it be the lens that is has to be exchange can I have an answer to that thank you.
It's not the lens. After cataract surgery floaters can become more noticeable. This happens because the floaters were less noticeable due to the effect of cataract blocking light into the eye. After surgery a lot more light comes into the eye and the floaters become more noticeable.
@ thank you what can you recommend for floaters? I need to buy sunglasses or what solution I need to do or not to have too many lights on my eyes.
Thank for all the information ❤
You are so welcome!
I didn't have floaters till a newly jabbed friend visited me early in the jabbing when everyone was terrified, after they left I realized I now have floaters, not in any way severe but annoying none the less. I was told to use Serrapeptase which I have been using since but I still have them, I keep using because I have surgery scars that have diminished considerably but I will try the suggested supplement. I've been extremely leery of any kind of surgery and/or medication since the jab. I just don't trust anything any more. I am 80 and female, also happily pure blood and Canadian.
I would not lose sleep over it
Floaters are very common, even in the younger age group. Try to focus on the positive.

Please let us know the result
hey any update ???
Thank you doctor. Please I was diagnosed of cataract and I was planning for the surgery when I woke up today 25/12/2024 and I noticed in my vision and start seeing some black spots in my left eyes . Please what can I do sir. Will it go when they do the cataract operation. And is it the cataract that I am yet to do that brought about the black spots that I am seeing through my vision . Please I await your response
The floaters is not related to the Cataract. If this is a recent development, you need to be checked as soon as possible to make sure that you do not have a retinal detachment.
Thank you sir. I appreciate your response
They’re like screensavers for my right eye
😂
After a month on a carb free keto diet my floaters were significantly reduced.
“How does the keto diet work?”
Hi doctor. A detached retina surgery August 2021 on my left eye. I had a cateract Surgery two months later. My vision on that left eyes is not clear . I cant read with that left eye. In April 2024. I had a suden development of floater on my right eyes that had refuse to go. Is there any hope that vision on my left eye will become normal? Will floater go on my right eyes as time goes on?
If you have not checked the right eye after the floaters developed, you should do it immediately, as the risk of retinal detachment in the right eye is there. The quality of vision after retinal detachment is dependent on whether it was macula on or off detachment. Do you know?
I looked up the eye supplement for floaters a couple months ago. And instead of buying it, I already had those supplements (listed on their bottle as ingredients) around the house. So I added them into my supplement routine. I would say my floaters are about 50% more faint at this point. So there are no strong contrasting "lines" of floaters.
That sounds encouraging, happy for you. What were.the specific vitamins?

How long did it take to see improvement
HI Dr. Cohen, In addition to floaters in my left eye, I have Asteroid Hyalosis. I have stopped sugar and refined carbs and have started a supplement similar to the one your recommended.
I have floaters in my both eyes since last 4 years and I had Lasik eye surgery 7 years ago.
My dr.told me few days ago that my eys back muscles are so weak.
I need to be careful for that.
What should I do for that
Plz suggest
I have a few dots here and there but for 10 years I've had this giant dune worm like floater with tentacles appear and it's about 25% of my vision, it drove me nuts for a few but I learned to deal with it but it would be nice if it goes away.
Same I have a huge stringy one in my right eye look like it’s staring at me lol but I’m adapting to it, I’m just trying to live healthy and eat right and exercise more hoping it will go away one day I’m pretty confident it will
I have only 1 flaoter normally in right eye .
And it is there since years.
But when i look in sky i see little more floaters.
So is it normal sir?
Yes. Just make sure you have an eye exam to make sure is nothing worse.
Thank you for useful information

Will prescription Miebo get rid of or help my floater
No. its for dry eyes.
@ that I know I suffer from chronic dry eyes but I feel my floater is calming some. However I do also use castor oil nightly.
I am 22F and I have floaters. Is this normal for my age?
What is the laser machine called that does the Vitreolysis? most ophthalmologist don't do Vitreolysis, so what type of eye doctor specialist would this be called? I have even called corneal and retina ophthalmologist and they also don't do vitreolysis

Raw pineapples. One slice a day. I ate for 3-4 months and it worked for me. I do not have any floaters anymore. Canned does not work.
Interesting. What is the science behind it, what is the active agent that makes the difference?
Bromelain is the ingredient in pineapples that supposedly dissolves floaters.
Taking OMEGA 3 every day, got rid of my floaters !
How long did you take them for? I bought some for myself 3 days ago
Thank you so much for the advice!
Hi. I cant find the link to the supplement. Could you put it again please
I’ve had them for 30+ years. I’ve tried the supplements several times with no change at all. Trying the drops interests me though. I’ve seen this mentioned by a couple doctors.
How is this even possible? When I was in the restroom yesterday, I noticed around thirty tiny lights floating. It's in UA-cam's recommendations today, although I've never looked for this.
If that is new, you should see a retina specialist ASAP. It could be a retinal detachment.
@doctorilancohen To be honest, I don't have any issues with health I believe that this is a result of blood donation. Before that day, I gave 1 blood unit.
Great video and information,, never had floaters till two days ago it's like a cobweb in the middle of my eye keeps moving around been to the eye doctor wants me to come back in a week i'm Hoping they kinda just break up and go away..
Follow up with your doctor.
I'm about to lose my mind because of clear floater in both of my eye that is increased every year .
I can see even more waves of small floatees when squeezing my eye and look at sky.
Same bro
I understand your frustration.
I have the same issue , have u found any solution
have you tried blue tinted sun glasses? I use them when I drive as I have one annoying floater, which almost disappears when I put on my blue tinted sunglasses!
Great information! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Kindly advise supplements etc for Cataract.
Fruits and vegetables and lots of exercise.
fasting can help, i've heard. Getting your body into autophagy state where it repairs and regenerates. Also, doing a fruit detox where your body flushes out toxins and such. It will make you feel like you have a flu, but once you are through it, you are significantly feeling better
I also heard the same, it didn't work for me, it may be because I still have other problems, and it was not for lack of trying, I've been intermittent fasting for a decade, I've done multiple 3-10 days water fasts over the years, but don't be discouraged, it seemed to work for a lot of people.
The vitreous is inert and does not regenerate, but yes fasting is great for the rest of the body.
I've been on a very low carb diet with ~ 7-8 hour eating window most days and occasional 36-hour fasts for most of two years (exception: for about 4 months I had more carbs on weekends). The last two months I increased my fasting to two days a week for 24 or 36 hours at a time. I happen to notice that my floaters had disappeared. It was a pleasant surprise, I wasn't expecting that. I'm not sure when they entirely disappeared, it probably happened gradually.
@@SK-jf7dq Thanks for a hope
Ive had cataract surgery already. Can I do the laser treatment you mention
Yes.
Just wondering, if your light sensitive, is the atropine drops okay, or does make light sensitivity worse?
I had caterac surgery this year....great....but not the same..always have had floters but suddenly last weej flashing incorner of my left eye at night .went to the doctor...he called it PVD...no riss on detatchment of retina .but its a really large chunk of the gel floating around..its almost like having a cataract going in and out....im very upset
Embrace imperfection....I had a large string like floater in the center of my vision...then it seemed to explode into thousands of tiny translucent black dots...these dots are easier to accept and deal with...what I do not understand is how did that string like floater get destroyed and move out of the center of my vision?
Floaters form in the same fashion that they break apart.
My floaters included one that blurs my vision that tend to move like windshield wipers. Once they move my vision is great, but this only lasts a split second.
If it effects your visual acuity, you'll need to discuss option with your doctor.
Have had floaters for many yrs. I had cataract surgery early June and then 3weeks later. Very quickly developed secondary cataracts. I also have developed a huge change in floaters. It is like a blob moving into the field of vision. It is like wearing glasses with a huge blob or smear on them. I am fighting to get clear areas to see. I am having many headaches, and my right eye is many days twitching by the end of the day.
It sounds like an extreme case of floaters. I would consider a laser procedure. and competent hands.
Twitching is probably stress related
How can i order supplements ?

Can cortcostreroid lotemax cause eye floaters. When I used twice lotemax , I have floaters , is this possible?
Yes, steroid drops are bad news, although I HAD to use them for uveitis inflammation. Steroids weaken blood vessels and collagen, so I can imagine they could damage the vitreous humor too. Some of the newer steroids like Durezol, are truly dangerous, and I wish I had not used them. Durezol IMMEDIATELY, within 3 weeks, caused cataracts and I had to have cataract surgery. Can't be the only damage they did, IMO.
I can’t find the link to the supplement
Can you tell me any tear drops which are available in europe (currently i am using '2blink' tear drops to treat my dry eyes)
Two years ago, I had a viral infection- not Covid - I had a high temperature, headache on the side of the heafpd, general feeling of tiredness and aching bones. A few days later, I woke up with floaters in my eyes, not big, translucent. They did not bother me too much. However, there was one ver small black dot which moved around just like the floaters.
I have been taking D3, K2 and zinc for 3 months now and they have disappeared, at least for the time being.
I got eye floaters from eye exercise. What is the best treatment?
same as all other floaters.
My floaters are large and very blurry.
They literally block my vision in one eye.
I can move them by shaking my head but only a little and they float back.
I recommend not moving your eyes to get the floaters out of the optical path. That movement turns to a jerky shake, and theoretically, it can cause a retinal detachment, which you certainly don't want or need.
Bromelain might help them get active

Hello Dr. Ive had a corneal transplant on 1 eye. And collegen cross linking. I am diagnosed with Keracotoma. I'm not sure if i spelled that right. Lol But I also have floaters. Yhey began about 2 years ago. Age 51 when they began. Over time they have lightened a bit. They are so annoying because i alway think a bug is flying in my face. Smh. Would any of these treatments help me?
I would start with the vitamins. Since you had a Corneal transplant, you must see your doctor frequently. Make sure he does a dilated exam at lest once a year.
Hello! I am 36 years old and in the past month, my floaters increased . They hadnt increaded since I was 28 years old. I have been to 3 doctors already, they checked my eye and all told me my eye is perfect. My question is... When does this stop? Do I need to keep checking my eyes everytime i feel I see new ones? I used to see only one, and now under the sun I see many with both eyes, like scattered.
I would recommend to stop worrying about it. I don't think it is anything you doing wrong that is causing the floaters.
I have floaters on my right eye more than in my left. I also still have a strange kind of flashes where the flashers appear as a bright laser scribing a circular arc on my right to bottom of my right eye.
Vitreous detachment is possible
Make sure you get checked by Retina Specialist to make sure you do not have retinal detachment
How are you now? Did you go to Dr.?
hi sir , iam just 18 years old and i have mild floaters it makes me to feel irritated when i see the sky . what can i do ?

Hey doc, does digestive and gut issues can cause this? and actually bromelain is good for the eye i guess
No obvious connection.
How to get Atropine Drops prescribed? I asked 10 doctors in germany. No chance
If they know about the research they should not have any problem prescribing it, unless the proper concentration is not available in Germany.
How do u capture thess
Time allows floaters to fade, your brain adjusts to them naturally... So to say these suggestions work would mean no tests for at least a year AFTER the floaters appear.
Please make video how to cure weak eyesight
Thank you
It's there all the time, how can I not notice it? This came after the cataract on my left eye was removed. My eye is and was never the same again. This clearly was sloppy work.
Unlikely. Cataract surgery unmasks the already existing floaters that cannot seen due to cataract blocking the light.
How do we eliminate floaters cause by hemorrhaging . I have retinopathy and had an episode recently and have a “ring” of floaters
Hemorrhage in the eye resolves on its own with time.
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Have u tried supplements dr since u mentioned u have eye floaters? So based on wat u say these methods are effective in treating eye floaters !!
I had the floaters long before it was known that the supplements could help. By then, I didn't care about it at all.
if the floaters are in the middle of your sight and annoys you, you can try turning your head left and right quickly 20 to 30 times to get them off centre.
Is the eyes surgery safe ?
You need to discuss the risks and benefits with the surgeon.
What do you suggest to take for cataracts.
I got floaters a couple weeks after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is one of reasons cause floaters, unfortunately.
Thanks you for information doctor ! My question is different My eye is 8 can it treat please I need to know about thes
Thank you for your informative video.
I have had floaters since my late twenties and I am now in my 60s.
I have just got used to them over the years, but last August, I developed new shaped floaters and flashing lights.
Last week, I developed a very large floater (the size is about half of my eye). I decided to again just get on with it, but I still have regular flashes.
I would add that I also have keratoconus, which has been quite stable for about 40 years.
It is the size of the new floater which bothers me. It's in the same eye as the flashes.
Please see you eye doctor immediately to rule out a retinal detachment.
You're at the age for PVD
Same here it has been two years I am experiencing floaters it like it would be approximate 10 to 15% at night it's ok but at the time in bother me a lot.
