I very love the videos you do and started to watch them a few days ago. I wanted to ask you please. As a dry patient as well as a myopia patient what kind of spectaculars as well as sun glasses can I be wearing ? Please what platform can I contact you if I want a better feedback from you ?
my floaters were more than a year on my both eyes. should i worried about it? retinal detachment
@@miabonbon814
Eat a cup of kale daily or as least 2 or time a week. You will see the different well that if the case they mentioning the pineapple make ye salad with pineapple. about the detachment of the retina ocurrs when you will see a wow! firecrackers explosing instead lightening or stride of lights striking wether at peripheral of the eyes or over the eyebrow.
hi seen lightening streak one eye last year then this year same month same week believe or not in other .
and have larger floaters compared to the ones I had before .
however optometrist checked both my eyes said brcarful if I notice curtain like vale or flashes as Dr Audrey mentioned.
I have one fixed floater with the shape of a croissant after the collapse of my vitreous.
I have one slice of pineapple 4 to 5 times a week for a year.
The floater lost most of its shape and only remains two points.
I don´t know what influence had on the small dose of bromelain but I`m getting better.
As I know bromelain don't dissolve collagen but it slows blood clotting, perhaps it may reduce collagen fibers clumps
Either true or false, no one wants to do this research because no pharmaceutical company can make money on selling pineapples.
I started eating fresh pineapple twice a day with cottage cheese for edema in my ankles and feet. It's been three months and my edema is gone, I've lost weight. When I saw this video, I realized that my floaters are gone as well. I'm 64 yo male and had enough floaters that it was noticeable and mildly annoying. My experience isn't scientific but the result is authentic.
the vytreous floats in limbo, your pinneaple can't do shit
@@lopo8000 Why so angry? I also had positive results with pineapple.
@@alexthai4957 hello sir i was have pineapple canned for 1 month i didnt recognised any improvement 2 cheats by day do i continue
@@alexthai4957 Me to...I thought I was addicted to pineapple. Now I realized I needed them so badly. No more floathers !!
@@aymansa9662 Use fresh
I asked my doctor about the risks of eating pineapple and he agreed to be cautious. He recommended that a high powered laser be blasted into my retinas instead.
I was concerned but he assured me that it was a very profitable procedure for him. Medicine is amazing.
Pineapple bad, high powered laser good!
Thanks for your video, Dr. Tai.
A couple of years ago I had a round floater in my right eye, I was alarmed as it was severe. Through the research of my own, I deduced that it was from my optic nerve. I researched ways to treat my condition and learned that sucking out the floater to include the entire gel sac and then replacing the fluid was an option. This seemed like a last resort for me so I began eating pineapples. I eat pineapples every day for three weeks and the floater disappeared. I recently had the same thing happen in my left eye. I went back to the pineapple and it's been a week. The floater has diminished by 60 or so percent and I will continue to eat pineapples until it's completely gone. I still have no floaters in my right eye. I turn 60 this month. Due to my personal experience, I'll continue to enjoy pineapples for the rest of my life.
Sincerely,
Wow that’s amazing! Thanks for sharing!😊
Like she said in the video, most floaters naturally go away on their own.
How big was your serving of pineapples.. I just started eating pineapple and don’t know how much to eat at a time
Thank you Dr Tai.
@@TammieBuckeye I started eating three servings a day for a couple of weeks. The enzymes are concentrated in the center so make sure to include it. Since posting this the floaters I was talking about have completely cleared. Good luck and god bless!!
Pineapple has worked for me. I had floaters for years, but since eating pineapple daily 3 years ago, I'VE HAD ZERO FLOATERS.
How long did it take for them to go away ?
How many you eat pineapple per day
How much pineapple did you eat per day?
Really?!
I started eating a slice of pineapple after lunch 2 weeks ago and already the many floaters in my vision have lightened. They used to be dark spots but now they're less dark and therefore less bothersome when I'm reading.
Glad that those who tried and had positive results commented. It gives sufferers hope n those not diabetic can easily try without worry. Really hoped it will work🙏
Eating pineapple increases your protein and carbohydrate metabolic rates further if you have diabetes you may take half a tea spoon of turmeric after pineapple.
I was having a bad problem with floaters for a while and then my doctor told me about pineapples so I started eating them pretty regular and the floaters have almost disappeared. I had no idea but it did work for me
Ahhh bullshit. She literally explains in the video how scientifically it couldn't work. If the enzyme dissolved the protein in floaters it would also dissolve your eye.
you're joking right?
Nope, sounds weird but it works for me, anyone can argue with me but I know better cuz I can see the proof, no pun intended
I will definitely try eating pineapple.
@@sharonsingam5355 might as well try it, after reading some of the comments,it sounds like it didn't work for everyone. I have ischemia in my right eye which is a loss of blood flow and I only have 5% as a result in that eye but my left eye is still 20/20 but the event left me with a lot of floaters in my good eye. The enzyme in the pineapple helps me quite a bit and pretty much eliminated about 90% of all floaters in My overall vision, at least that's the way it seems to me. My guess is that it probably depends on why you are seeing floaters. My guy is a neurosurgeon and works with military fighter pilots for night vision issues.
Nice video Dr. Tai, keep going..! 👩⚕️
My understanding of bromelain is that it is a proteolytic enzyme which is an enzyme that clears out "damaged proteins, including collagen" from body tissues that contain damaged proteins and collagen, whereby, if you supplement with collagen, eat collagen rich foods (and/or foods rich in building blocks of collagen), then the damaged collagen that is cleared out is replaced, where needed, as appropriate.
Bromelain is sold separately as supplement at health food stores, and my understanding is you take it on empty stomach with water if you want to experience proteolytic enzyme benefits, or take it with food if you want to use as a digestive enzyme.
Also, bromelain in pineapple is mostly found in the stem of the pineapple, not much in the pineapple flesh and juice, so supplementing with bromelain will get you to higher therapeutic dose than eating pineapple flesh..! But don't stop eating pineapple, as it is very healthy and relatively low on glycemic index..!
The lack of clinical study funding for additional studies on this topic most likely because you can't patent pineapple... and big pharma is not quick to fund big/expensive clinical studies with treatments that can't be patented (e.g. food). Thus the major downfall of clinical research field that focuses only on pharmaceutical breakthroughs (instead of food based wellness), so they can patent lab created pharmaceuticals, make megabucks, then treat and manage patients with them until the cows come home... paying off their condo in Bali... 😟
Of course seek the advice of informed health care professional before taking any supplements..!
Blessings🙌🙏💞
Dont worry , If pharma discover clear evidence that pineapple cures floaters they will publish a report that Bromelain causes terrorist activity and they will get it banned , synthesise it , patent it and sell the treatment for $ 8000 per program. (kidding okay)
@@heartobefelt Haha... Amen to that..! Taking charge of our own health is where it's at... I'll never take any pharmaceuticals, always pursue natural treatments and remedies... and you never know, the ways things going I may start growing my own food too... 😃 Blessings 🙏💞
@M H Thank you 🙂
Good man! We are all unique and pineapple has been known for many centuries to be a great healing fruit.
1 small study says it is not...I wonder who paid for that outcome 🙄.
Yes! I use Serrapeptase in practice.
I have experienced reduction in floaters since I began eating pineapple. Over 3 years only one of seven floaters remain and it is much less obstructive than it was. Thank you very much for all your information about eye disorders and treatments.
how often did you eat pineapples, when, and how many slices.
When you have no diabetes. So eat pineapple. I will try to eat pineapple to cure my eye floaters.
@@luisalvaro5601 about one ounce each day, on an empty stomache
7? Just 7. That’s laughable.
if digesting bromelain via the means of eating a natural whole food in the form of fruit, try the western way then and get your bromelain via a lab created supplements. 500 mg 3 times a day.@@anthonyhales4192
I just wanted to congratulate you for a clear and well explained argument against pineapple and vitreous floaters!
Geez! and you are an anterior segment specialist! None of my guys went through this!
Thank you!!

I had posterior vitreous detachment for 2 years. Looked like cobwebs. It would come and go every few weeks to few months. It almost seems like it would reattach itself after a few weeks. I discovered a paper that linked the condition with diabetes. I do have type 2 diabetes. I went on a keto diet, I took extra collagen and I used hyaluronic acid drops in my eyes. They condition has not returned, knock on wood. It is now been over 2 years.
Many eye problems are caused by high blood sugar 👁 🧐
@@jamescalifornia2964 Insulin resistance and high blood sugar are causing so many health issues.
I’m suffering from the same I have the fatty liver
@@MyLawrence04 I had fatty liver several years. All they ever told me was lose weight, which is like something I always tried anyway. But then finally when I had T2D they told me to cut down the carbs. That is the key. Do that and fructose in particular, it absolutely has to go. Then you will get a lean liver quickly and you can begin a journey towards much better health. You may experience improvements from ailments you didn't even know you had.
@@MyLawrence04 By the way, it wasn't any of my doctors that told me to cut down the carbs, it was a nutritionist. The doctors just wanted me to inject a poison called Ozempic and they were hinting at giving me insulin which would have been another way to kill me. And then they were so amazed how all my labs improved by low carb diet. I recommend you check out Ben Bikman, Ken Berry, Sten Ekberg.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback, great information 😊👍
I'm 75,and never heard of this till this video. I had been experiencing increasing floaters over past 20 years. For the last year I've been eating about 4 tablespoons of crushed pineapple daily. Since watching this video I stood and stared at a mildly lit off white wall for 15 minutes, and did not see a single floater. Where as ,say a year ago there would have been dozens,if not hundreds in the same time frame. The weirdest thing about it is that I didn't even notice the change till seeing this video. But now that I have YAHOO!!!!
Do you use fresh pineapple , canned or frozen? Thank you for the good news report!
Amazing!!
What led you to start eating 4 tablespoons of crushed pineapple daily?
If the doctor doesn't believe it, it can't be true. I believe you, but I'm not a doctor.
If one doctor could solve issues there wouldnt be teams of them in a building.
Hello. Thank you for your time.
I just got my eyes looked at and a prescription filled. Roughly 2 weeks. With a typical optometrist.
In the last 2 years.I have experienced all three symptoms you described. Exactly how you described them. I’m also sensitive to bright lights.
6 months ago I did see an ophthalmologist. Because of what is best described by your third symptom. Nothing abnormal was found. Thank you.
Thanks so much Dr. Tai - I've always wondered about the floaters and now you're helpful video has helped greatly.
the most truly stated video about Pineapple and Bromelain for eye floaters
The first time, I experienced eye floaters is about 20 years ago (I’m 67 now and retired). Over the years I have seen up to 5 floaters in my left eye. I didn’t had a healthy style of living and had a too much stress work related and too less sleep - constantly exhausted, not to talk about alcohol consumption. Anyways, my live got more in order, less stress, healthy eating and more sleep over the last 5 years 🙂
The floaters are almost gone, I only see 2 sometimes but very transparent compared to 15-20 years ago.
I won’t draw a conclusion out of that, but since my life became calmer, my floaters may decided to hide somewhere away out of the field of view 😉 from my perspective - they almost disappeared 🤔
I took bromelain and it helped me tremendously. Take for at least 6 months. 500 mg twice a day on empty stomach.
Did they disappeared or became thin and transparent?
Yo any updates
Wonderful and very informative presentation. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Great update! Thank you so much for your videos on Eye Floaters!
A great video. I had posterior vitreous detachment and a retinal horseshoe tear which was tacked down. There are different classes of floaters. One, are the vitreous gel floaters caused by collagen clumping during syneresis or formation of liquefied vitreous. A more serious type are caused by posterior vitreous detachment…hyaloid membrane surrounding the vitreous pulls from the retina, and parts of that can cause more obstructing floaters. If the hyaloid pulls too hard, causing traction and visual flashing lights, the retina can tear. Many hundreds of dark tiny floaters can accompany this. Flashing lights, dark curtains, and loss of acuity signals possible retinal tears. These can generally be tacked down right away with a laser…a barrier is formed to prevent further tearing.
Nice video

Hello doc, pineapple is one of my favorite fruit... I use to eat them regularly.. Maybe that the reason why i dont experience floaters at all.. I am almost 60 and still dont have eyeglasses.. I eat pineapple even early mornings when my tummy has no intakes yet... Thanks doc for the knowledge u shared... Luv u doc....
Always good to question & check.
Thanks Dr.
I am now a fan. Thank you for your these valuable postings.
I went on a low carb diet for 2 months and experienced a vast improvement in my floaters
Thankyou Audrey, You have confirmed my suspicions about eating pineapples. Especially as I have type 2 diabetes and floaters which do seem to be reducing naturally.
Hallelujah! thank you so much. very helpful... good video!!
Hi Dr Tai, enjoy your expert help about the eyes. Blessings
🍍 are so good for many reasons, especially having great enzymes for digestion, & weight loss!
I used fresh pineapple once a day and it did cleared my floaters.
How long did it take?
Lies
Hi Doctor! Nice to hear from you! Proud of you!...
Thank you for confirming what I have experiencing by eating pineapple.
I use pineapple to treat a bursa in my shoulder. For those that can't eat pineapple because of the high sugar content, pills of extract are available. They are often sold as digestive enzymes, or bromelain. I'm not sure the effectiveness of the extracts. But I can attest that when I eat a lot of papaya or pineapple helps in general for any injury or bruises. If you're an athlete, not a bad idea to reduce inflammation on off days.
I am so glad to find your channel. I am 62 and I just got my cataracts removed and put trifocals in. I was so frustrated and depressed that I had a floater in my right eye. Didn’t know what it was til I researched it. Now I can eat pineapple and it might help it to decrease. I have hope. Another surgery to remove it is not an option and like my Ophthalmologist would tell me to ignore it
Wow, I just stumbled onto your channel. I am a very well controlled diabetic. I have learned more from you than the current eye Doctor that I vist every 6 months. Ill be watching all of your videos.
Thank you!
Thanks for your honesty. I had floaters: real problems, like it was acting on my nerves I can't say when it disappeared.When I take off the lights I see patterns on the floor and on the walls .
Thank you for the information. As a kid I used to distract myself during long car rides trying to look at my floaters directly. Which was impossible since as my gaze shifted the floaters floated away. Good times. I rarely notice them these days unless I actively look for them. On a side note, I'm quite fond of pineapple especially grilled and baked. Glad it doesn't affect my old friends.
so much for "old people condition" crap...
Yeah, I've had floaters since I was a little kid in the 70s. Tried to explain to an opthalmologist, who didn't believe me - were floaters a recognized phenomenon then? In my 50s now, with early posterior detachment; seemingly stabilized, but a clear blue sky will never be actually clear....
@@TheChipMcDonald I remember having them as a kid too and just finding it fascinating trying to lock my vision on them and trying to control the movement so they'd float into the center of vision lol. Dunno where this old age idea comes from. I think perhaps people just dont notice them.
Pineapple/bromelain did nothing for my big and annoying weises ring after a PVD.
Eventually I found someone who did laser treatment (YAG laser). One session yielded probably the best quality of life improvements I’ve ever gotten from a medical intervention.
@@paulcramer5671 I live in New Jersey and there were a few practitioners. I finally chose a guy in Cliffside Park, which you’ll easily find via Google. Total cost to me was in the neighborhood of $600 (OOP - deductible)for the initial exam and the laser session. Only one caution: my regular eye doc said I was developing a “growth of cells over your macula” which was “idiopathic.” It’s probably not due to the lasering but “ya never know.” I still see better out of that eye than before the procedure.
Thank you so much, and I wish I had an Opthamologist like you to care for my eyes. Many Blessings for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🥰
Great review of the claim. Thank you!
Thanks for your video, Dr. Tai! You made a lot of sense! I had cataract surgery (eye #2), on July 28, and have seen floaters in that eye ever since. I was told by the surgical team that the floaters where normal and would resolve in time. Hopefully that's true, as the floaters are annoying. At least I don't have flashes, so that's a good thing. Oh, and by the way, I won't be rushing out for pineapples! Thanks, again!
I had my cataract surgery about 4 years ago and soon after I started getting the blurry effects of a floater. One day while laying at the park looking up at the sky I could see the floater drift right in front of my vision. I define it like the size and shape of Prince Edward Island and it has been a source of aggravation ever since.
Since I am completely blind in my other eye due to injury, this has become a huge frustration in my life.
My 2 eye surgeons I have seen, the one who did my surgery and another for a second opinion seemed to completely ignore me as if I was seeing things.
Which I am, seeing things and obviously they can't unless with the procedure the doctor on here suggested.
@@mrv6968 I’m sorry to hear about your floater situation, April! It must be very frustrating that your doctors aren’t doing anything for you especially since you rely on one eye! Maybe check out the laser procedure Dr. Tai talks about in this video. If my floaters don’t go away, I’ll be looking into it! Good luck!
So?
Since there's no down side to the pineapple treatment, it seems reasonable to give them a try.
I am aware of many good natural treatments that have been suppressed by the medical community to keep from impacting their expensive drugs, treatments and other profitable items.
Why no pineapple? Did you not read the other comments?
Pineapple helped get rid of my floaters. Haven’t had pineapple the last 3 months. They’ve just started coming back but not near as bad as before. So I got fresh pineapple again. We’ll see how it goes!
How it's going?
So far so good! They’re not as bad as they were before but I’ve only done 1 pineapple. Time to get another 🍍
Yes I took pineapple 🍍 and they worked for me untill I stopped taking them but might have been just a quicidrnce but I'm going back to take pineapple I took a slice a day at breakfast but I will now try lunchtime
@@pamela2750 how much of a pineapple did you eat a day?
Approximately between 3/4-1.5 cup/day.
Thank you Dr Tai. Very clear concise & easy to understand teaching. The pictures ale don’t helpful for us visual learners. God bless you. Thanks for emphasizing Prevention.
Thank you Dr. Tai for sharing this.
Finally got the name of my problem, i thought this my problem was something rare, very good video.
I'm blessed to have found this channel. I'm from Bangalore, India. I do have floaters since sux months. I got my retina by dilation.. All seems to be ok. I wish I get rid of this problem soon. I hope to hear some positive remedy from you SOON.
Tried pineapple?
?
Thank you for the reasonable analysis.
I noticed a significant decrease in eye floaters when I started regular eating of pineapple, thank God!
how long did it take?
I tried pineapple and it definitely helped with my floaters. Pineapple is a healthy safe treatment for floaters in my opinion.
Can you use canned or must it be fresh pineapple?
lol I was wondering about that too?? can or fresh pineapple is the most effective pls help?? thanks 😊
@@deehope9477 Its the same. Just buy canned. Easier.
@@UniDeathRaven sure, thanks!!
What kind of floaters you had?
Thank you Dr. Tai 😊 for such informative information
Thanyou so much. I have been experiencing all those symptoms and followed your recommendations. The symptoms have eased and flashes stopped. I have no idea why, but it is reassuring
I had some floaters but just realized they don't affect me anymore perhaps gone, however l do know pineapple 🍍 dissolve Kidney stones within less then a week including uric acid stones.
One needs to take half a pineapple 30 minutes before meals and alot of water.
You will need something for the mouth like Bonjela otherwise you'll get sores.
This treatment worked on me after litrotripsy treatment failed since l had Uric acid stones that cannot be seen on screen unlike calcium oxalate stones.
When l mentioned this treatment to my doctor his only comment was he would go broke if everyone knew about it.
If this helps anyone please share
I think your analysis of why pineapple is not likely an effective remedy for floaters is very persuasive. And the information regarding effective treatments is very helpful as well. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you very much!
The surgeries can create complications. Try pineapple first
@@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon what about the bothersome oily film, formed by the lubricant used in the anti-vegf injections, that emerges from the hole in the eye created by the syringe? How can that oily film be washed off from the eye's surface?
Thanks in advance.
Very clear information. Thanks,
I have a lot of floaters and after my cataract surgery there seemed to be more floaters around. Thanks for the information. You are beautiful too!.
When I heard about it a year ago. I tried it for four months and never noticed a difference. But I sure like pineapple.
I have been eating pineapple like 7 months already and i believe (probably placebo) that the small non intrusive floaters have become really transparent but the big dark ones are the same, at this point i am addicted to pineapple i no longer care about the floaters, pineapple is so good for digestion after eating meat, so i would probably keep eating it XD.
THANK YOU THIS IS VERY HELPFUL AND PRO
I think the thing that is cool about this study as there is no real harm in trying it yourself. Worse case scenario you introduce more fruit into your diet.
Very useful to know about floaters and natural treatment. Thank you Doctor for the analysis. Respect from India.
I had a bunch of floaters, I took bromelain supplements for a couple of weeks and I noticed that the stationary floaters moved (they’ve been in my vision for a long time), which was annoying because I was used to them in certain parts of my vision, so I stopped.
Thanks, Dr, Good work🙏
I haven't noticed any floaters in my eye recently.... Until this video made me aware of them - and now I see plenty! Time to think of other things!
When I saw the title about pineapples being an effective treatment for floaters, I was skeptical. After seing your video, my skepticism was confirmed. Your approach is very gentle. Thanks for bringing in some critical thinking about scientific papers. I used to be a scientific and technical editor, and you raised the right questions.
Thank you for sharing 😀
I started getting two small floaters in one of my eyes. They looked like two small black dots. I've recently been taking an eye vitamin that contains bilberry and eating pineapples. I definitely see a difference in my vision and the floaters seem to have faded significantly. The pineapple has also helped my gallbladder, so it has been an added bonus! Love the taste of pineapple, so no complaints having to eat it! 😊 🍍
What's the name of the vitamin your taking? I also have one floater in my right eye..
@@skyeblue5669 It's called Physician's Choice Eye Health AREDS2 Inspired Formula. I got it on Amazon.
@@rumination608 ❣Thank you...
Same problem i have one black floater in my eyes. Which vitamina i used
@@skyeblue5669 same problem plz send me vitamins nme
Thanx a lot for this information that is so important.
I have one little dot that floats in my left eye, I notice it most when I blink. I’ve had it for about 2 years, glad to finally know what it is.
Actually I read before that bromelain is more concentrated in the stalk of the pineapple plant which is lower in sugar than the fruit portion. Thanks for posting the video Dr. Tai!
I've read simmering the whole pineapple has many benefits
Heinermans encyclopedia of fruits vegetables and herbs
Juice the core as well.
@@timway6839 have too much to lose.
Ingredients such as The Bromelain and Vitamin in many pineapple is weak to heat.
Exactly. The bromelain is in the core. I've had floaters since I was child-65 yrs. I love pineapple but I don't eat the core, it burns my tounge
-my tongue. I wonder if the supplements are any good.
The internet has a lot of people talking rot, and silly people following equally silly people who give out the rot. So thank you doctor for your sensible medical advice!
Yes, a lot of people are talking about their own experiences and extrapolate it. Whether it is rot or not cannot be known until you had their experience and try what they suggest. The professionals have their place but they are not gods. Thank god for free speech, instead of thoughtless mutterings.
Rot or not ? Every educated medic can give you an answer . All these wonder healers with their cheap maladies are perfect match for dummies looking for miracle remedy on TH-cam
I know someone who was diagnosed as stage 4 cancer and was given no hope of recovery by first world specialist doctors, but recovered by drinking tea made from a tropical plant. In addition, when I was in NY, USA, a specialist opthamologist after an eyebrow examination told me that I should get reading glasses because of my age but twenty years later, I still don't need reading glasses. So much so for specialists. Please note these are exceptional experiences. Generally, my experiences with medical specialists have been good.
I had guarded excitement about that study. I'm glad I saw this video to learn that no other study has been conducted and the logic regarding bromelain breaking down all parts of the eye made of collagen fibers and not just the floaters! I thought about trying pineapple to deal with my floaters(which I've gotten used to) but didn't because I don't like the taste and have to watch my sugar intake. Thank you for a very informative video!!!
Thank you for your honesty.
The carbohydrates in fruit have fiber giving them a really low glycemic index.
You are awesome. I love that you also know about nutrition. You made me contact my eye care doctor. When I got PVD in my second eye I wasn't worried since it worked well with the first eye. But this second time I have had peripheral flashes for like a year now, occasionally seen at night. I want to fix that and I also want to suck out the vitreous gel of the eyes and replace the lenses as well. I assume nobody will come up with a way to rejuvenate lenses. Or maybe they will but only after I replace mine.
Thank you for an intelligent analysis
I was about 13 years old when I first saw floaters. I thought they were living things I was seeing while using my microscope. I never told anyone because I did not know what to call them except things moving across my sight when I turned my eyes. Many years later I heard someone call them floaters,(Posterior Vitreous Detachment). You are my first to refer to them as PVD. Thank you. I never knew there was a treatment for them. I am watching your videos because I have been scheduled for cataract surgery in both eyes.
Believe it or not pineapple is a virus fighter and mushrooms fight viruses and zinc tablets you can all get at Walmart! I noticed my digestive system is much better than before after I ate the listed things above.. and I can see well as I am STILL aging! I love this 😍😎♥️ video doctor! So far very honest in her lectures!
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of your presentation and your own skepticism concerning pineapple helping with floater problems until I listened to your objections which do make sense. The clincher was when you spoke of being a nutritionist and proponent of natural remedies. You seem to be an eye doctor who shoots it straight.
I had cataract surgeries in both eyes, and last week I had to have a YAG capsulotomy in my right eye because it had began to become so blurred that I couldn't see even with glasses from that eye. It was like trying to look through a shower glass. After the procedure, I was able to see tack sharp from my right eye for 2 days, but experienced severe hazing problems and even spots from the laser when I would look at a white or near white wall.
I have been off the Prednisolone for 3 days now, and for the most part, my vision has came back to 90% of what I was seeing for 2 days post procedure. Hopefully I will get that wonderful tack sharp crispness that I enjoyed for 2 days as my eye finishes recovering, and I was told that it could take about a week for the side effects to completely disappear.
Good and informative presentation here. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment.
Dr. Audrey, I just listen to your talk, very useful to me, thank you very much!
What is my hubby have floaters and also blood pressure, how can he talk this pineapple?
Thanks in advance to you!
Great information, thank you.
I had floaters for about a year in my early 30's and they disappeared by themselves! I think my consistent wearing sun glasses with UV protection may have helped.
As you said, is there any benefit to wearing sunglasses with UV protection?

Hello, could you inform me how many months your floaters last in your eyes?
@@stuartpaddington5253 it was about a year
@@halilbey090 i am not sure but it does not hurt for you to try
So glad I found your channel. Last year I had PVD in both eyes, 6 months apart. Also found out during exam that both eyes have cataracts. I have different types of floaters in both eyes. This all has been extremely distressing. I'm 56 and trying to find natural solutions that may help. My ophthalmologist said there's nothing. I've lead a healthy lifestyle and this has been a shock. Added vitamin E and algae omega to regimen, as well as, trying to eat greens daily. My main concern is stopping or slowing progression. Thank you for all you do
Why don't you have lens replacement surgery? It's easy, painless and highly effective. I have just had both eyes done and the results are amazing.
@@paulcramer5671 Yes, you are right but I was only thinking of her cataract problems. The overall effect of my lens replacements is amazing but the floaters in one eye are more noticeable now.
@@harrygatto I had a blizzard of very annoying floaters after cataract surgery in November but they started going away a couple of weeks ago and are now negligible (fingers crossed).
@@roushanam Good news, I hope it stays that way.
@@harrygattoI can barely see with cataracts. But alas, no money for elective surgery. I’m just trying to afford food
Thank you Dr for your info. I appreciate you.
I'm glad I patiently watched your video today, it has cause me to wait, research, and see more clearly into the subject.
Peace in Christ. 🧑🏻 JB
Eating pineapple worked quickly and very well for me. If bromelain is the reason (we dont know for sure) - then, it does not affect established structures in the eye, it only affects floaters - floaters are not part of established eye structure, and are less resistance to Bromelain at these dosage levels. Bromelain can also be purchased as a supplement.
@D R I only ate the fresh kind, bought whole pineapple and cut it up myself. So, I don't know if the others would work or not.
How much time did it took? To see positive results?
@@jjharvathh how long does it take to notice improvement?
I had one black floater for about two years. I gave up on that it ever again might disappear. It was pretty annoying close to the center of my view, and reading on a bright computer screen became difficult. I also read the 2019 article and tried it out. Btw, the article was talking about 1, 2, or 3 small cubes. More than that had no additional effect. My floater began to shrink and eventually disappeared. Sometimes it comes back much smaller, but I continued to eat some pineapple, and it goes away again.
Had one that was in chain mode with other 2 ones. Now it's only 1
Okay sure it worked. lol
@@Resist4 The liquid in the eye is not only transparent to provide optical features. It also provides nutrition, removes cellular waste, and it probably also has a connection to the immune system. The medical extreme treatment to substitute this liquid with a dead, artificial substance seems to be horrible to me. What is the progression after that, a glass eye? The 2019 article mentioned three enzymes removing these broken proteins in the eyes. Some pineapple here and then helps > me
@@jenslanger812 Hi Jens, I'm going to try pineapple from tomorrow to get rid of floaters.. could you please tell me how much slices need and when to eat? Also did u tried any other methods along with it?
@@suhail_moideen I was reading scientific articles on a white computer screen in 2019, when a big black eye floater drove me crazy. I investigated and found that the enzyme bromelain is also available in supplements. Anyway, as pineapple you would need 1/4 slice (1.5-2cm or 1/2 inch thick) per day, but the pineapple would spoil before you finish it. It is important to do that for multiple weeks, therefore a supplement might be easier. Very important, in case of diabetes, cut your carbohydrates first. And reduce high blood pressure. Good luck!
Learn a lot from your videos, thank you for making this video
Thank you, Dr. Tai!
I’ve had floaters since I was a child. I recall closing and opening my eyes and watching how these worm-like transparent structures moved up and down in my vision.
Eat 2 slices o pineapple for 110 days for complete cure.
@@paramveerjain2464 have you tried it? Did pineapple worked for you?
@@paramveerjain2464 Pineapple ne floaters kum kiye?
Pineapple is good for Floaters.. I can see results in 2 days 😀... And i fell I have Strong Eye now.. Let God show Grace on everyone like God showed on me.. Thankyou
I'm having too many floaters like I can't read characters easily without moving my head constantly
Thank you, been having those flickers of light off and on for 40 years. Years ago somebody told me that those flashing lights was from high cholesterol. So every time I periodically would get one I would watch my diet and they would stop.
Omg... I've dealt with these floaters for a couple yrs. I had a couple slices of upside down pineapple. I saw this video and suddenly noticed... NO FLOATERS THIS MORNING... I just noticed o didn't see them, and after seeing this video... it's fantastic, it works
Bro now you are ok?
Audrey, this was very interesting. I've had floaters for several years, but just recently I got a new one. I had been out the day before on a very cold day, it was -35c with the wind chill. The next day I had a floater that was not there before. Could there be a link between extreme cold and floaters?
Can't lie, looks like you been smoking a little too much of that 🌲
I understand that the study is not giving the correct explanations about how and why pineapple decreases floaters. But, reality is that they do decrease, and there are thousands of cases being reported everywhere...I have started eating a lot more pineapple since a couple of months, and floaters have decreased a lot. I will definitely continue eating a lot of pineapple for ever...maybe in some years it will be discovered the real reason pineapple helps, but meanwhile we know it does, and that's enough ( as Pineapple is anyway a healthy food...it would not be the same if I would have to take an specific medicine with side effects)
great explanation, thanks.
hello Doctor, I have had floaters and bound that the Bromelain helps! thank you for the information and great show!!
Thanks for clarifying (no pun intended) this issue. I was a bit sceptical on the speed of how fast this would work, given how slowly any kind of process could possibly work in the eyes. Your explanation and presentation of facts helped me a lot. (I'm still gonna eat Pineapple, it's awesome)
I have experienced floaters twice in a fashion that caused concern. The first was the start of a detachment. The second was the start of a tear. Both taken care of painlessly with laser treatment.
And now you got scars , that are nothing but traumatized tissue . Ticking time bomb
THANK for telling us about pine apple .for the eyes .CURES. from paris. BRAVO 🥰❤
One of the big reason that dissolve only the floaters is because they are oxidated collagen and much easier to dissolve
