- Do you have eye floaters and are having trouble adapting to your floaters? These are 5 natural life hack remedies that you can do to help you not notice your floaters.
IN THIS VIDEO
These are the top 5 natural life ack remedies to help with eye floaters.
1. Sunglasses are not only healthy for you eyes and skin around your eyes, but can help you not notice your floaters as much. Floaters an decrease the amount of light entering your eyes. Bright backgrounds make it so you see the shadows of your floaters. You can also tint contact lenses, or get Acuvue Oasys Transition contact lenses to help decrease the light as well.
2. Decrease your computer screen brightness. You can use dark mode on digital screens so you don't have to look at a bright background as much.
3. Darken your environment: One tip will be to get a large black presentation board and put it behind your screen. This will block the bright light behind the screens, which will help you adapt to eye floaters.
4. Stay Active: try and keep busy to keep your brain occupied. This will keep you brain, and your eyes, from noticing your floaters.
5. Atropine Eye drops. Diluted atropine eye drops are becoming more popular to help dilate eyes, and decrease the appearance of floaters.

I think eye doctors should stop telling patients that their floaters will go away or become not noticeable over time because thats not true for most floaters sufferer. I believe there must be a commercial reason for pharmaceutical companies not interested in developing a drug or technology to treat floater effectively and safely.
Eat healthier, avoid sugar drinks, vitamins, and exercise. It does work. Not life changing but has cut them in half for me. Your mileage may vary.
@@SensSword 🙏
Also just remembered: fish oil supplements and warm compresses (I use dryeyemask) really helped a lot w/ dry eyes. My eye pressures also dropped enough that I no longer need glaucoma medication. That might be half of why the floaters are better, as my lens is 5x clearer.
Good luck!
@@SensSword 🙏
@@SensSwordBro can we play Cricket and Football , if we have eye floaters??
In a sense, I'm glad I'm not alone with these floaters. I suffer them since my twenties. I'm almost 65. Some new ones appeared this year. This doctor is so right. All those years I have learned these tricks on my own, except the drops.
As an eye floaters sufferer, let me say that this is an amazing video.
Great, Practical tips given. I really hope the medical community finds a safe, non-invasive treatment/ cure for this terrible condition. Only the sufferers know how bad the problem is, unfortunately, more often than not trivialized by most doctors.
You are absolutely right. Thanks for this comment.
I went to see an eye doctor about my cataracts, and while there, I mentioned my first floater. When he looked, he said it was the largest floater he had ever seen in 50 years of practice! Since then, I developed a second floater, but this is in the other eye. While floater 1 seems to be smaller now, floater 2 seems almost as big as floater 1 was in the beginning. At initial onset, each floater looked circular and black with black tendrils coming from the circular center. I thought that my first floater was a spider that had gotten into my eye. The second one look spidery as well. 😖 Sigh.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 There is a way and I did suffer from them for many years. I found the way but someone erased my message when I tried to help these sufferers but to no avail as none of them followed up and followed instructions. They are just curious and not serious about getting better.
@@ElizabethLawrenceBermuda I would love to see it! My first floater was the size of a spider, it was black and had what looked like several legs in my right eye. When I saw the Eye Doc, I was sure it WAS a spider until he explained floaters to me. At the time, he’d been practicing for over 40 years, and he said it was the biggest floater he had ever seen in his career! A little over as year later, it became smaller and no longer had tendrils, but last month, a new floater appeared in my left eye, large, black with tendrils. I hate them SO much! Would you be willing to share the fix with me, please?
@@cherylmcnutt9905 Dear Cheryl, I have been responding to you but my message has been erased several times and so if you are on FB please ask for a friend request from me with the same name and picture. Thank you, my dear.
I had been ongoing my floaters and not thinking about them for a LONG time and now I'm aware of them again, thanks, haha.
Haha.. shouldn't have watched the video.
Bromelain an enzyme in pineapple can break down the protein we see as eye floaters. I found drinking pineapple juice quickly got rid of eye floaters that developed 6 weeks after cataract surgery.
No permanent changes?
@tassiedevil4206 how much did you drink per day?
@@vickijd22 These people never seem to reply back.
@@ColtraneTayloryes also there Are Artikels that there is Not much bromelain in juice
@@ColtraneTaylor yeah, unfortunately their info is false...
Thanks for the tip about the photochromic lenses. Once I looked for it but always ended up with the party lenses.
I buy glasses online where you can choose the tint of the glass. Because you always have some sparkle in the glass and the frame of the glasses, the floaters are less noticeable.
With a normal (flat)frame and 30 percent lenses, nobody will look at you strangely that you are wearing sunglasses inside.
Awesome comment! Thanks for saying this.
Absolutely correct ! Reducing the brightness of my TV, computer and mobile screen made alot of difference, also wearing sunglasses, and having dark shaded walls, window screens at home n office contributed alot of comfort to my eyes ? Thank you 🙏 sir !
Wy Not closing your eyes completely.......
Having that right now . Thank you doctor
I've had the "typical" floaters since I was a kid! In recent years, more have appeared, and I also have large, opaque "blotches" which blur my central vision. If I quickly move my eyes in circular motions, they will often float on by. I'm sure that at some point in the future, a laser treatment will be safe and cost-effective! Thanks!
I hope so!
I have been eating fresh pineapple and that has actually reduced my floaters to the point I might see one once a day. Yes not focusing on them helps but the pineapple has been the go for me as I used to see plenty and now next to nothing.
How many slices of pineapple per day?
@@EulaSurtr 1-2 slices, I generally have a handful per day :)
@@EulaSurtrthere are a few videos out there and study done on pineapple. Some ate two fresh ring for two weeks and some for 3 months. I bought frozen a week ago and eat about 3/4 cup a day. Usually I throw it in my ninja with water to have a pineapple slushy. Just need to make sure you are not taking any medicine that pineapple will interfere with like blood thinners.
How to have pineapple?? Empty stomach? At what time?? Also till when you have started noticing the changes reduction in floaters??
@@shifa.khan15 I just started so no changes. In the study they did it with lunch. I make it a smoothie for a snack in the afternoon.
Thank you for another great video! I actually love going to the eye doctor because I know I'll have a few hours of relief from the floaters while my eyes are dilated
I think you might one of the first people to say they like the dilation. 🙂 But it makes total sense.
Finally someone who understands😂
Same here
Exactly😥😥
So true 😂😅
Thanks Doctor for the explaining, and what u can used to help eye floaters.
One of the best videos on floaters. TY for taking a more holistic approach.
Thank you for such a nice comment. I really do appreciate comments like this.
Thank you for this video ❤
I have Dry AMD which began 5yrs ago. I began doing eye exercises and taking eye Nutrients and stopped AMD progression in 6mos. I continue to do both practices daily since the AMD hit my eyes and I have improved my vision and eye health. The floaters I did and do have lightened up and disappearing but it's taken four years to minimalize them.
Thank you Docter..
My eye Doctor said they are vitreous detachment which can occur at any age but commonly on older people.
Thank you!
thank you so much
I was diagnosed with FUCHS dystrophy 4 years ago. Any help is good help. Thank you for the video.
ahhhh this is great thank you so much
No problem. Hope the tips help.
Ty so much for this video i had floaters fir the first time in my
Life freaked me out!
Hey if you guys struggle with them I suggest doing gentle eye massaging In outward motion and blinking afterwards 10-20 times. I’ve seen most of them breakdown and disappear just after a few times of doing it
Thanks!
Thank you so much ❣️😊👍
Thank you. 👩🏾🎨👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You're welcome again. 😄 Thanks for being so kind and watching and commenting on my videos.
That's some great tips. Thanks for always giving great info!
Thank you so much for this video.

The best floater video honest and true tips
I appreciate that!
Thanks for your video doc
You are very welcome!
@@DrEyeGuy Does pineapple make floaters disappear Doc?
I had a vitrectomy for a retinal detachment. Got rid of all the floaters in that eye.
thanks 😊
thank you Doc
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
I had high myopia in both the eyes left eye -9.5 & right -10.5 since when I was 7 years old somehow I wanted to get rid of huge number, then I went for intracular lense exchange in 2010 but doctor suggested me so many times regarding retinal detachment still I went for surgery after using continuous eye drops the floaters arrived it's mild objects moving around not so disturbing till date 2022, I am 38 years old, my biggest mistake/ regret was I could have managed with glasses or outer contact lense, hope Dr you bring some resolution in the coming days,I just saw your video, wish you all the best !!!
Thank you! I wish you the best too! Hopefully one day I can make a video about a cure for floaters or along those lines. That would be amazing.
Lonely people, anxious people and those with OCD tend to have higher emotional responses to floaters. Additionally people suffering with visual snow syndrome also suffer badly due to an over active visual cortex in the brain.
Also those who work very closely to things such as software engineers have much more narrow pupils
You know what, I almost discussed this in the video, and I was going to mention floater anxiety being a real thing. But there was so much to talk about that I am going to save it for a new video. Thanks for commenting this as well.
@@DrEyeGuy Have you done the video on floater anxiety yet? I would love to see it as I have had PVD for over a year and it is nerve racking.
Dark mode on the computer helps. Sleeping all day and staying up all night is good too (but probably impossible for most people). I never thought to pain my walls black but that sounds like a good idea except I rent and I can't do that. Dark mode on the the computer while helpful isn't supported by all apps and PDF files in particular are kind of stuck in whatever color the original document was (probably white background).
I'm trying eye patching this weekend. I tried it in the past and decided it wasn't a solution but I was only patching the "bad" eye and ironically I am getting more relief patching the "good" eye. But I don't know how practical it is to wear an eye patch all day.
Your every video is too informative thanks u are great💓
And thank you for watching them!
Thank you so much for this video! I have floaters due to retinal tears in my eye. They bother me the most working on the computer. I had laser surgery done so praying my retina doesn't detach because I had two detachments in my other eye causing me poor vision
Thanks for the comment! Sorry to hear about your detachments. Lets keep that good eye looking good.
@@DrEyeGuy thank you so much for replying back. Is there anything that I can do to help the floaters go away? My laser surgery was 2/15/22. Do you think they will go away or move out of my vision in time? It's so depressing. My other eye had two retina detachments so my vision is poor and distorted in that eye. I had oil placed in it to keep the retina stable and now there is residual oil in that eye. I see oil droplets
I absolutely love your videos you make and do them so well and it so professional I just love watching your stuff keep it up……
Wow, thank you for the thoughtful comment. It really does mean a lot to me.
Dr, u r doing a good job by providing us with such videos. I was crying very badly when this video popped up. Actually I was working on my laptop & if I remove my glasses, all I can see is floaters & (galaxy vision) (I don't know how else to describe it bcz when I go to doctors they act like it's a made up thing, I'll try to explain it's like moving small little shiny wavy objects & when I focus for a moment they increase tremendously & my vision gets blocked. I try my best to not focus on them)
My floaters increased tremendously in past 1 year. Actually I had a small micro wound bcz my of my friends makeup brush, it happened in Feb 2020 & it's going to b almost 2 years & I ve been to many doctors. Next one is going to be my 20th appointment in 1 & a half yrs.
For the 1st 6 to 7 months, doctors couldn't diagnose the problem & they kept on giving me antiviral medicine but then I had a tear test & I was diagnosed with dry eye disease along with blepharitis. The doctor said that I have to b consistent
Right now I'm using cyclosporine +systane for dry eye
And (blephamide) (eye ointment) for blepharitis
I saw ur video & ordered an electric eye mask bcz I checked my meibomian glands & there was a little swollen up thing, they didn't look healthy but not much progress yet.
Dr told me to b consistent & that blepharitis will be treated completely after 3 months. I'm almost at the end of 3rd month & my eye was doing good but suddenly today I woke up & my eye was again swollen, inflamed & as red as u can imagine.
Can u tell me what is this galaxy vision bcz I told my doctor & he said that ur retina is healthy without having a fundoscopy (just on the base of his experience) & what else can I do to help with my eye health. I've been crying the whole day. Plz help.
Wow, sorry to hear this. This is one of the big reason why I do these videos, because I know there are a lot of people out there like you that have a constant battle with their eyes. The galaxy vision is super interesting to me. Did you say you that your retina was ok? Did you have floaters? Have you looked into "visual snow" symptoms? I'm wondering if you have something like that?
A galaxy is exactly how I’ve been explaining how it first felt. How are you doing now? I’m three weeks in and while mine are less I still notice them daily. My optometrist said I’ll get used to them.
Good info!
Thanks Renee!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been suffering eye floater problem from 6-7 years. And now I know about the problem. I went to eyes doctors for this problem. But they said that my eyes are fine. Maybe I couldn't explain my problem to them. And from 2-3 weeks I am ignoring this black shadows. And now I understand that I have eye floaters. Now I'll try to more ignore them. Thanks again Sir for your video!
I have a question Sir
Should I go to eye doctor again?
If you have new black shadows, floaters or symptoms, then yes, absolutely go back to get it checked. If it's been longer than a year since you have had your eyes checked. Then I would go in and get them checked as well. Thanks for the comment.
@@DrEyeGuy Thank you Sir for your suggestion.
great, thanks!! a year ago I changed to dark mode all my screens and cell phone. I have floaters on both eyes and use dark green prescription lenses, I love outdoors on sunny days. I wanted to add a light tint to my next pair of prescription lense, what color or colors would be best?
I would stick with the grey tints... that will likely be your best chance at reducing contrast for floaters
@@DrEyeGuy thanks again!
How is it going?
Great video. I'm a 20 y/o with anxiety and the floaters that appeared in my vision earlier this year have caused me lots of distress. Like you mentioned, the tpyical advice is 0 to 100, where first its ignore it and then if not that then a dangerous surgery, so I really appreciate the realistic advice provided here. My floaters aren't too awful, my optometrist says they likely will only slowly get worse over the course of decades, but it's still something I worry about frequently. Do you anticipate that medical developments will be made in our lifetime to safely eliminate floaters? Thanks again!
You can try low dose atropine. It doesn’t get rid of the floaters but it dilates your eye so the shadow is less noticeable.
I saw floaters on nov. 28 2023 for the 1st time I'm currently 27 y.o
I did a lot of research on eye floaters
So I'm currently eating one half boiled egg, boiled carrot and beans vitamins I got form the doc I also put castor oil on my eye lids and my floaters are becoming lighter
I feel happy that I can go out ,it was so bad last month my head hurt everytime I went out
Vitriolysis worked for me however there are limitations. The doctor can only zap what he can see, meaning only large dense floaters such as Weiss rings can be treated. The small particles and filaments cannot be treated. Also the floater can’t be too close to the retina or unintended damage to the retina may result.
That's actually true. I've had first session 2 weeks ago for my right eye, it helped a bit but still have flying shit. Unfortunately the doctor said that I should wait 2 years and go again (right eye). I'm going in 2-3 months for left eye though. My left eye if way way better and 1 session should be enough to life normally. Hope I'll do more session on right eye sooner like this year and that he will be able to catch them all (as much as possible). Wish me good luck
You can find a new info on an experimental treatment when nanoparticles are injected, cling to your floaters and then YAGed by a quite weak longer YAG exposure by the particles actively absorbing the YAG wavelength and thus nor requiring a “short zap” - rather “cook” it slowly. It also does not require the “aiming”. Most probably there will not be even a need for a laser, just a lamp with a certain wavelength that will be absorbed by the nano-particles and go right through the clean parts of vitreous. Hope this will be available sooner rather than later.
@dariuszz2842 was this procedure painful?
Neal what kind of mic are you using? Sounds perfect. Great info
Thanks, it's just a takstar boom mic hooked up to a zoom h1n recorder.
Hi, it is possible to get atropine eye drops and there are some studies supporting it’s effectiveness. The eye doctor in the US has zoom consultations and will ship it out. In the U.K. it’s trickier but some ophthalmologists will prescribe it.
Did you find anyone in the UK?
Your awesome doc
Thank you!
Tan mal puede salir una vitrectomia?
Thought I was going to find a holistic way to get rid of it!
bought some " blue light eye supplement" Going to be seeing if it works. Started them yesterday.
I'm not familiar with this, what brand are they?
@@DrEyeGuy @@DrEyeGuy I found it in the health food store. That's the name. You could Google it. Apparently it's just eye vites that are good to have. If you focus on blue light from a device screen. Anyway, I'm hoping it helps me. Time will tell.
@@Anjanya1948 how did it turn out?
Transition contacts?!
Yaaaaaaay
Yeah, kind of cool huh?
Thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks thanks thanks
Splash water on your eye(s) 3-4 times at one go and tilt your head back after each splash. Do this everyday and your eye floaters will minimize. Just try it!
I can't tell if you are serious or not. If you are serious, that's amazing.
This is so not true.
BS
No it's dangerous. Having fluid behind eye causes retina to build up which may result in permanent blindness or lines in your vision
I hold my eyes into the cold water running down the faucet one eye after another to increase circulation in that area
Heyy! I need an urgent professional advice of yours. I have been seeing eye flowers more these last few days and also more yellow and blue lines in the dark. Something called phosphenes ig. What is your advice? I am 20 years old male.
I woke up with a blue tint in one eye and thought it might be a floater, Im headed to eye doc this week but im traveling and wont be back for a couple weeks. Its looks like a round tint with a some blurry to it, anyfeed back would be well appreciated . It fades out but its always there, woke up like this. pretty annoying tho
Can you help me, please? I have been waking up every day with trembling vision, and it is notorious when I look at white surfaces. After a few minutes the vision is better and it's not shaking. I went to the ophthalmologist and he prescribed me a magnesium food supplement to take for 1 month, however, I did not notice any differences. Can I have a serious illness? Could it be cancer?
Funny thing happened to me on the way to the ground. I used to have really bad floaters. Then I fell off the roof of my butchershop, a about 30’ onto a concrete sidewalk. I flipped over, landed on my feet and walked away fine. But, I started having massive floaters. I went to my Opthamologist who diagnosed doing the dilations. It turned out I had ripped the vitrus fluid in my left eye away from the retina causing it to bleed internally. Apparently with age the fluid gets stiffer, I am 61. Two followup visits each with dilations showed the fluid cycling. Six weeks later the new massive floater was gone completely and I have almost no floaters. Now three and a half months later I have virtually no floaters. The theory is the fall jarred my head so hard that it caused the fluid to shift which ripped the retina. The healing cycled it cleaning it. I have had floaters all my life and had not known they could be gone. My vision is much better.
Did you do (or eat or drink) anything special to help it heal?
@@vickijd22the only thing was drops the dr put in my eyes. I do not know what they were.
He said something about it loosening the vitrus fluid which would cycle.
@pubwvj my vitreous detached from days & days of crying!! In the midst of one of my bouts, it was like a floodgate of floaters appeared, which I never had before. Dr said all the constant pressure in my head from crying most likely was the trigger for the detachment. All bc the a-h that killed my husband wound up getting a $1.6M settlement & myself & our children got NOTHING. You know the saying, "Life sucks then you die." Well, it's true.
@@vickijd22😢 sad 😢
Hi Dr EyeGuy,
I have an unusual issue with my vision in one eye and hope you can share your expert opinion. I thought I was seeing a giant floater at first but then realised it's more like a liquid cloud covering the lower half of my vision. Literally looks like a glass half full of water with a straight line between normal and obstructed vision. Really is as if I'm seeing the gel in my eye as I can see it swirling and moving etc. Heard about something called a 'vitreous hemorrhage' recently and that seems the closest to what I'm experiencing but I can only guess.
Any idea what I'm dealing with? Appreciate your opinion or any recommendation you have that can help.
Thanks
It could be a vitreous hemorrhage, but are seeing any slight color with it...brown or red? I would for sure get it checked out by your eye doc. I do wonder if there is something going on with your vitreous, maybe some traction/pulling on the retina.
Against a white background it does have a slight cream color if I focus on it, but any other time it's just grey with lines through it as if I'm looking through stained glass. Liquid stained glass even since the lines move around. It's been a couple of months now so yea I need to get it checked. I have an autoimmune disease called sarcoidosis that causes sever dry eyes and uveitis so I'm guessing that's the root cause.
Vitreous detachment
Go see an ophthalmologist.
All over the net, many sights claim that some/most floaters will shrink / fade over the course of time. What is your experience with this? I've started to notice the one floater I have (popped in around 2.5 months ago, optometrist mentioned prior that I had floaters, but I never 'saw' them) -- it has shrank/faded to some degree, though it becomes more insistent if I don't sleep well and/or am tired. The fade is pretty perceptible, just lighter overall and "fuzzy" whereas it was first rather defined.
Floaters don't shrink or fade over time, but they do move. Just remember what floaters are and why they form as we age.
They don't necessarily shrink or fade, but our perception of them can "fade", but the floater doesn't necessarily fade.
@@DrEyeGuy For example, I went outside and looked at the sky. A floater sort of popped in, and then disappeared. It didn't 'flick away', it just disappeared. Is it moving through the eye? I've never seen this one before btw, just today for like a second. The other one I was talking about just seems fuzzier and less intrusive, after 2-3 months from when it started to appear in my vision. This one flickers into view in when I move my eyes to the left, and disappears if I flick my eye to the right. If I'm tired or stressed it appears darker, but overall it is lighter and fuzzier (less distinct). So my brain is starting to compensate for the arrival of the dark spots, and 'fading' them? Also, my left eye (where I'm seeing the floaters) is suffering dry eye/digital eye strain for the past few months, and I sometimes feel pressure from the tissue around the eye (swollen/strained eye muscles), does this contribute to the appearance/frequency of the floaters? Thanks for responding.
@@DrEyeGuy
My ophthalmologist is the #1 doctor in Florida (maybe in Country?) He was Professor at US Shands. I saw him yesterday for a very bothersome circular floater that has developed recently and he said he wants to give it 3 months to see if it "goes away" before he uses the laser.
He said he thinks it might go away on its own. Everyone here is of the opinion that they don't go away but that we merely don't notice them. I am praying that you are all wrong because there ain't no way I will get use to this. It's a big circular blob of gel moving back & forth across my center of vision and I can even see it with my eyes closed.
@@DrEyeGuyThey drift down to the lower retina 👁️ away from the field of vision.
Sir I see a hole whenever I see light coming from bulb ,torch and other sources.what is this
I have had floaters for years, they are annoying more than anything but recently after waking from a nap I had a bright jet black floater in my cataract surgery eye. All other floaters in my eye are more of a faded grey, but this floater stood out. Next morning, there was a gelatinous rather big floater that would float past my field of vision then disappear only to return when I would change direction with my eye. I went to the ophthalmologist as I was very concerned. Macula looked good, no retina detachment. She said, "I've no idea why you developed this floater" I asked, "what is that jelly like substance that floats across my eye?" and she says it is the tail end of the black floater. I have never experienced this in my life. So I ask her," ok, so what is the treatment?" and she says that there is nothing that can be done. Sometimes the body absorbs it and sometimes people just live with it. I was shocked to hear this. This was 2 weeks ago. Today, the jet black floater has faded to the usual faded grey similar to the others but that jelly like floater remains. Has anyone else experienced this?
yes, I experienced. Floaters are accumulation of proteins, So that, sometimes they are getting together or seperate.
I notice mine more when i lay down, as if they settle in one place and accumulate.
hi , can i book you for private consultation? my floaters have destroyed my life and my eye exam tests have come back all good
I would prefer to know how to prevent them from getting worse or something to decrease them.Mine just appeared few days ago, it is like a moving transparent ball of jelly stuff dusted with some black power (like few thin coffee grounds) collecting on the lower edge and spot inside, Can sun exposure, too much pc (not moving the eyes balls and been bombarded by those rays for too long, not drinking enough water, poor circulation or poor diet increase the chances of developing them? Can eye exercise and massage, help inner circulation of the eye? I hope you can suggest more efficient methods to deal with them while curing them with appropriate approaches.
I am working on videos related to this. It's tricky and under served in this area of floaters unfortunately.
I am an illustrator, and I need light to work properly. I work on light colored white paper. this is my profession and after my cataract surgery, this has been disastrous for me . The floaters move across my vision from left to right when I am doing portraits from photography. Any thoughts?
Have you tried wearing an eye patch over each eye to see if that helps? I've found that it reduces the strain for me. Every time the floaters appear my eyes seize up trying to make them go away again but if I'm wearing an eye patch and it's only one eye this doesn't happen. Of course there are drawbacks to wearing an eye patch (mono vision isn't great).
What about using Caster Oil?
I’ve had these floaters for 3 days and I’m already going absolutely crazy. The optometrist confirmed no retinal tear or detachment. Driving me insane
Same here - floaters just showed up( left eye) 7 days ago. Was told by ophthalmologist they may show up in right eye too🙄😬
@@oceanbreeze6589 went to see my optometrist and eye specialist. Its gotten worse since I went no detached retina or any retina tear. They are so bad now my left eye is totally blurry. Absolutely driving me crazy
I put castor oil on my eyelids I eat 1 half boiled egg boiled carrot and beans vitamins given by doc ,my eye floaters is becoming lighter
I'm 27 y.o and saw floater for the 1st time on 28 nov 2023
@@oceanbreeze6589how old are you ?
@@HectorBaculard why?
I noticed flashes of light in my left eye ,after seeing my optometrist she said that it is caused by floaters in that eye
She didn’t really say how to treat this condition
I’m feeling very worried about this
Hoping it is nothing too serious
It is vitreous detachment. Normal with aging but scary as hell when it first happens to you. You will adjust to the new you, but it still sucks. Good luck.🤗
I have a “curtain” since my cataract surgery and then the laser thing after. When I look down then back up and then back down (like reading something I need to type) I have this curtain that comes down over my eyes that look like a cataract and slowly goes back up. Very annoying when doing a lot of work. Would this be considered a floater?
Yes, it could be. Have you had an eye exam to get that checked to make sure?
@@DrEyeGuy I have. I was not told what it was but was told it didn’t really matter because I’m blind in the other eye so the risk of treating it was not worth it.
Blind in one eye here too (retina detachment). I now have a floater in the other eye somewhat similar to you. It's likely a floater / breakdown of the vitreous and doctors state it's too risky to treat via vitreous replacement or laser. It's annoying as heck but the risks of full blindness are in no way worth it.
Hi, doctor, I'm from Indonesia.I have eye floaters since long time ago. I forget when I first saw that. Since I remember at the beginning it only 1 small black dot. I also didn't know since when my eye floaters increase. But the amount didn't increase suddenly. It's stable for years. Sometimes I can forget about my eye floaters. But when I remember, it make me uncomfortable and worry about my eyes. I just wondering if the amount of my floaters increase or not, sometimes I focussed to see them. But it makes me got headache.My question is, is eye floaters will increase more or just stable? I'm 47 years old now. Hoping so much you reply my question. Thanks!
It really depends on the person. The floaters could stay stable. But you can also develop more down the road.
@@DrEyeGuy Thank you!
Hi doctor
Actually I am experiencing eye floater’s since last one year more ever i have eye flashes at my left eye it’s like fast moving bright light making circles around my left eye when ever I move my eyes and just to keep you posted I have see mb many doctors they checked my eye multiple time and they said luckily My retina is ok and it don’t have any tear but my eye flashes are still there and it’s even getting worse and when ever I tack a bath or do training I am experiencing more flashes so that’s why I am so worried and confused about it I would like to know you’re opinion about it .
It's good to hear you keep getting it checked. When ever they get worse, make sure you get it checked. It could be your vitreous has a tight traction or connection to your retina, which causes an excitement of those cells around it, causing the light.
Hey, did it get any better I'm experiencing the same thing
My optometrist did a full eye exam and asked about my blood pressure? It has been raised due to stress. He has sent me for eye dilation to see the blood vessels. I'm so scared that it will damage my vision. That I will lose my sight and be traumatized and get floater's?? Anyone advise?
Best video
Thank you!
I guess you could dilute the atropine eye drops 💧 your self with contact lens fluid?! But you need to be careful about it of course!
Also what about colored lights have you already done a video about light Kelvin temperature!? Maybe that would be an interesting video! 👍😉
My floaters are annoying... They are horrible on a cloudy day.... They are light in color. I've got more now that I'm approaching 40... I'm also nearsighted... When I look down and up they tend to increase.
I've been reading up on the Floaters Intervention Study (FlIES).... it looks pretty promising and reducing floaters. I'll make a video about it soon if it looks that good.
I got some floaters for the first time (I'm 62) a few days ago. It started as a if black ink was dissipating over oil. It started to reduce within about 30 seconds leaving just a few floaters. Happend after a yoga lesson so I wonder if there is a connection there.
Did you go get them checked by your eye doctor?
@@DrEyeGuyright - that one sounds like a tear
I remember the first time that I had these floaters. I thought I had something in my eye. Kept trying to dig them out. My eye got so red.lived with them for 20 years. Still bothers me. Dr said nothing can be done.
Salt water help at all?
Can floaters come in a form of eye's many eye's and light?
So quitting coffee has made a huge improvement for me. A morning cup of coffee makes my floaters 10 times worse. Without coffee my floaters disappear for the most part.
Funny, I drink more coffee to boost my mood to help me deal with the floaters.
My right eye is good but the left eye in which there was a micro issue, this problem keeps on returning again & again. I have myopia & astigmatism & my vision is - 7
How long do your symptoms of galaxy vision last?
What eye drops will be use if you experience eye floaters?please advice
Hi, what about "snow syndrome" I heard that is also a thing!?
Hey I was wondering Why are the peripheral eye floaters darker than most of the center floaters ? Im just curious and would really like to know
That could depend on the person, and the type of floater. Some people see their more central floaters being the darker ones.
Maybe cause it's in the posterior area(closer to the retina)....I suffer after cataract surgery.
Blob floater..I'm scared
It's been 11 days
@@Itsme-ni9jk yes I have the transparent blob also , but having eye floaters is normal everybody has them but some people just don’t notice them I noticed mines since I was a teenager so it’s been there for many years now. I’ll recommend you to see your eye doctor to get checked to be on the safe side since it could be dangerous sometimes like a vitreous detachment. I hope all turns out well for you God bless

mine issues came up after cataract surgery
Ahhhhh, God bless
3 parts saline, 1 drop of apple cider vinegar in an eye dropper. 1 drop per eye. It worked for me.
Hello I done my 3 months post lasik , now I have seen 2 big like worms floaters in my both eyes, is lasik laser create floaters, it will settled down automatically, doctor checked my retina he says no problem in retina
Glad to you hear you had it checked by your eye doctor. It's possible they could settle, or at least become less noticeable.
Narrow Pupil Width is another reason for floater issues in younger people
Good point, that would cause them to notice their floaters more. Thanks for the comment.
@@DrEyeGuy theres a normal
pupil range and I skew to the narrower side. Slight atropine diluted drops make a big difference with only a few mm more aperture. I get terrible pre macular bursa ones.. like huge clouds
I just had cataract surgery on my one eye I'm going to have cataract surgery on the other eye next month then I want to look into having my flote removed what I doctor told me I have more colors than anybody has ever seen I have had them on my life even as a child what would you recommend can't see real great right now because I just had a cataract surgery two days ago
cataract surgery causes also floaters
Hey doctor, i am having eye floaters for more than 6 months now i have got them checked 3 times my eyesight is clear and everything in my eyes is fine i am currently 22 i see one big floater in both my eyes but it is a bit on the right of my vision and i have alot of small separated kinda floaters in front of my vision which disturbs me alot . when i look at light i see differently then i used to see before floaters and in light i also see kinda flashes not continuously but i see them in both eyes idk what that is. And i sometimes (usually at night) i see double vision "kinda blurry but i see everything fine except double vision " when i see at laptop or mobile and in light aswell mostly from my right eye but sometimes left also and that is really annoying i hope i dont have any serious issue please lemme know
Go for a retinal checkup asap.
Hi doctor,I have anterior polar cataract in left eye with floaters now I'm suffering with vision problem now the floaters started to appear in my right eye ,now I'm experiencing the big chained floaters clearly, I don't know what to do ,I went to eye hospital they suggest me power glass,still I didn't found a solution for this problem day by day it is getting worse
They suggested power glass? What is that? Hopefully we have better treatments for floaters. Right now it's pretty limited sith surgery, and maybe certain vitamins and diets to and decrease floaters.
@@DrEyeGuy yes doctor they suggested me to wear power glass
Last years 10 year floaters. Now I was 24. With the retina come or not after 5 years?..
I'm not sure what you are asking?
I am wondering if it has something to do with the Oled screen, although I had floaters when I was a child, but when I 17 years old that seemed to be aggravated, I suspect it is because of using the Redmi K20pro mobile phone, idk just Guess, because if there is evidence, I will sue that lol But when I went to go hospital to ask doctor, the doctor said that it has nothing to do with floaters, i’m little confused now, and I looking for a cure btw now i used iphone 11 it’s LCDscreen
Isn't there a chance as well that big floaters will go down slowly in your eye?
Can caffeine increase eye floaters?
I have floaters on my left eye, since 3 days. Yesterday at the emergency l was told that there's not detachment from the retina. I was told also, if l'm worried , to go to an eye hospital to have a check by an eye doctor,; which l will do tomorrow. I'm in London. My question is , l don't have any flash light, but if l move very quickly my head from right to left and form left to right, especially with closed eyes, l notice like curve at the side of almost light, but l don't see that if l don't move it quickly. Is that bad?
Seeing lights or phosphenes are common with new floaters or a shift in the vitreous gel in the eye. That gel can tug or push on the eye, especially when moving quickly that can cause these lights or half lights. It's good that you are getting it checked, any new floaters and lights, even lights with quick movements, I would get them checked by the eye doc for sure.
@@DrEyeGuy thank you for replying. tomorrow l will go to the emergency of an eye hospital. But at the first hospital yesterday l was told that there's not any detachment of the retina. I don't have flashlight. Are you suggesting hat what l described might be flashlight and l might have detachment from the retina even if at the emergency yesterday l was checked and l was told there is not detachment?
I'm so worried now.
Thanks.
@@verymozart Did you go to the eye hospital? I didn't mean to worry you. I was just trying to think of different causes for you the half circle you are seeing. What did the hospital say?
@@DrEyeGuy Hi again. Just to let you know. I attended my eye hospital appointment. I was told it's all right. The retina is totally fine. It was a very accurate examination. More than one hour. First with the nurse, l was examined the eyes, the sight. Then after putting two types of eye drops l was fully examined by the eye doctor. It was very uncomfortable with the drops while l was travelling back home. What l don't fully understand is: why, in case the floaters are adjusted by the brain and it takes time, l already see them much less? Anyway thank you very much for your attention, l really appreciated it. 👍 I subscribed to you yr channel as it's interesting, and l like the way you explain things.
Have a nice evening. 👍

Am 31 and suffering from floaters as a symptom of retina degeneration..During my teenage time i was slapped by my parent several times on my face including the eyes..idk if thats the reason y i developed floaters at this age..Now Floaters are really irritating..Am taking 100grms of pineapple everyday now ..hoping i will get rid of floaters one day
Hello! Im a a 15 yr old and ive always had eye floaters (but rarely occurs during my day) i think but this week it’s been appearing a lot but its not distracting me its pretty “thin” im not sure if its because of my unhealthy diet or bad usage of devices pretty long, can u please help because im a very anxious teen
breathe in, breathe out. trust me, it's going to be okay. it's normal to have floaters and you'll be just fine
@@xmariax3186 thank u! I appreciate the advice a lot!
Does vr cause to have more eye floaters
I haven't found anything or any research that shows it can cause more floaters.
I believe applying these hacks will only cause you to not notice if more floaters appeared. Itnis important to notice when there are few or when there are more, so we can draw conclusions of what causes them (fatigue, some types of foods, etc.).
Hlo doctor I loved the way you explained the remedies
But I want to tell you my problem that I have my floater from December after Christmas when I have change my prescribed eye glass number I have started to see them and cannot ignore them and now they are just increased by 2 or 3
