@@bitcoinbuyscar7875 summer time and my floaters are way less of an issue without the glare of snow. I’m living with them now and making the best of it.
This post showed up in my youtube feed this morning, thought I'd offer my own experience, for whatever it's worth. I'm 63; I first started noticing floaters in my early twenties, was told my best course of action would be to live with them, which I have. In my case, my right eye is stronger, dominant, has always done most of the work, whether drawing or driving; my left is less strong, has generally been along for the ride, contributing peripherals, etc. Coincidence or no, the eye I rely on most always had many more floaters, which suggests that in my case at least, usage may be a component. Your comments on fasting and inflammation are insightful. An eye doc I saw early on suggested depressants may play a part in floaters formation, worsening, etc. No clue if this is the case, don't doubt it, but as you said, a cleaner diet will likely help as well. Minimizing refined sugars intake helps with so many issues. Over the last few years I've learned to use my left eye when doing close work. I'd suggest you look into supplements like eyebright, blueberry, etc if you've not yet. Sorry for the ramble; hope something of this may be useful. All best.
Thanks for sharing. For me, my non dominant eye has all the floaters. I want to look into the supplements a bit more. I take omega 3 and a vitamin but that’s it right now. Which ones do you find helpful?
Omega 3 is good. I take 3-6K daily. Taurine, minimum of 1 gram daily. Quercetin, min 1000mg. If you check those out, do your own research and learn what intake levels are tolerable and benefit. Puritan's Pride makes an Eyebright with Blueberry I've taken recently. I liked that one. I'm trying another combo, Eyebright with pumpkin seed. All those are good things, but wish I could offer something specific that's been more lifechanging. Mostly what I notice is the cleaner my intake- I minimize refined sugar, replaced with honey, apple cider, etc; no western over the counter painmeds, acetaminophens, etc, and minimal alcohol use, etc- the better my vision. Better sleep helps as well. When I was in my early twenties, I worried I'd go blind in a few years if floaters progressed as they'd begun. Forty years later, thousands of hours of close work, the floaters are still there, still a challenge, but they're not a lot worse, either. Hope at last that's of some encouragement. All best.
Thank you for your information! I have floaters and webbing in both eyes, they are bad. I have just been trying to accept the situation. I thank you and appreciate you putting out information. Sometimes I wonder if these seed oils are playing a part in it.
Hey Brett. I started getting floaters a little over a year ago. You need to see an Opthamalogist to make sure you don’t have the beginnings of a retinal detachment. I got laser procedures and the floaters are gone. You don’t need to live with those. 👍
I got the vitrectomy surgery 4 days ago. My floaters were horrible they look like spider web blocking my vision field. I was like you using sunglasses everywhere. The Vitrectomy improves your condition from 70% - 80% which is good. I’m 28, I still have like 2 or 3 tiny floaters after the surgery. If you need a doctor that can support you in this process let me know. My surgen was super transparent and helped me make the decision. I know what you’re going through. It’s really difficult. I think this condition is one of the most invasive and annoying conditions out there.
Avoid getting laser. It won’t help. It’s actually more dangerous because they can hit the retina and cause permanent damage. The only solution is replacing the Vitreous. The surgery takes 30 minutes. It is much safer now to get the surgery than before. Just make sure the doctor who’s performing the surgery use 27 gauge needle. It’s ultra slim and less invasive.
Thank you for your video. I'm dealing with floaters in both eyes - pretty heavily. They seem to be getting worse. Doctors are no help. At this point, I would be skeptical of any Dr even willing to do the vitrectomy immediately, so many doctors don't want anything to do with it. The consensus is that the surgery will likely cause a posterior vitreous detachment and early onset of cataracts. That is why most of the vitrectomies occur in older people who have had a natural detachment and who already have cataracts or have had replacement lenses. I love to jog and have to do it mostly at dusk or night-time as being outside in sunlight is so annoying. The overhead lights at the grocery store are like big orbs in my visual field. I find using a dark screen option on the computer helps... and as crazy as it sounds... wearing dirty reading glasses helps my mind not obsess on the problem. But if it's mid-day and the sun is bright and a neighbor happens to strike up a 5 minute conversation - my mind is constantly on the floaters... it's a burden for sure. They say they are not harmful - but they destroy moment to moment quality of life. It is helpful to know other people are in a similar situation and that I'm no alone. So thank you again for taking the time to post. On a side note: I have heard people who have used extreme fasting or carnivore style diets state in passing that their vision became extremely clear as well. Jordan Peterson mentioned in a talk or a podcast that his visual field cleared up considerable while on a meat-only diet to deal with inflammation and depression. So there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to confirm your personal findings.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Totally sucks, man. I agree about the glasses. I prefer my scratched up older ones these days. Fasting does clear things up a bit. It’s all about inflammation, so the eyes get better when that goes down, giving the appearance of floater fading. I feel like a carnivore diet would give me other problems. Also, I don’t really like meat that much. But that’s interesting, for sure.
I have them starting up in past few months with ear infection. I have heard of autophagy working for some people and also rubbing castor oil on and around the eyes. I am going to try this. Especially since I think I now have an eye infection too. Weird.
@@guunnuu hey, I’m not sure. First of all, I had to cut my fast short, to 49 hours. But after the fast, and with all of the snow melted away, my eyes feel pretty good and I’m not noticing the floaters as much. Another note is my side to side eye movement reveals my floaters, but up and down not so much, which is a nice thing while driving. I plan another 48 hour fast in the next month. 72 is just too much for me right now. Good luck!
It is a mind f___. I guess dealing with this as you get older is easier since cataracts and PVD's come with age. Everything is a trade off, IF it bothers you that much think about the ultimate options. Get a vitrectomy and then deal with PVD and cataracts when they happen. I am huge believing in self healing and very optimistic, however I think there is zero chance to fix floaters via fast, eating, medicine, etc. Find the right doctor, they are few but they exist.
You're entitled to experience your troubles and want them fixed. There are options but with tradeoffs.

Honestly, if they're in your dondominant eye, that's a huge blessing. Wish that were the case with mine! >

Thanks! I’m curious about seed oil… what do you mean?
Thanks for making this video it’s very helpful 🙏🏼

Have you got Yag laser ?

Thanks for sharing. The price tag for that surgery seems to be big. Not sure I can look into that at the moment. Glad it’s helped you!

I should go for vitrectomy man.
I have them starting up in past few months with ear infection. I have heard of autophagy working for some people and also rubbing castor oil on and around the eyes. I am going to try this. Especially since I think I now have an eye infection too. Weird.
Caster oil? I have never heard of that method. Good luck to you!
Did you get results

What yr condition with fasting
the bigger the pupil the less the floater but it can fire back with sun glasses
Have your tried carnivore diet? Looks like it helps. Search eye floaters and carnivore on UA-cam
