Nothing doing as far as I know, sadly.

There is a Nobel Prize waiting for someone out there. Thanks for your reply My Friend.

I’m game for anything.

I just take a Lutein/Zeaxanthin supplement as that may help ward off or delay macular degeneration (which runs in my family). My eye doctor says it won't hurt.

I only have occasional floaters, usually one inparticular that can make me nuts.

Sold to me by my Eye Doctor. He’s high on it for reasons other than floaters. Thank You for your response.

I do need help with memory, like where did I leave my glasses.

The top of my head.

These vitamins are really good for eye health. Best of luck.

My floaters dropped back by about 2/3s after I started a daily dose. But we all respond differently.

Get good solid sleep and keep stress under control. I noticed the higher the daily strees the more floaters you have to contend with.

Run it by your doctor or pharmacist to make sure there are no reactions to your current regiment of assigned medications.

. although both procedures are rarely done.

Surgery to remove the vitreous. An ophthalmologist who is a specialist in retina and vitreous surgery removes the vitreous through a small incision (vitrectomy). The vitreous is replaced with a solution to help your eye maintain its shape. Surgery may not remove all the floaters, and new floaters can develop after surgery. Risks of a vitrectomy include infection, bleeding and retinal tears.
Using a laser to disrupt the floaters. An ophthalmologist aims a special laser at the floaters in the vitreous (vitreolysis). This may break up the floaters and make them less noticeable. Some people who have this treatment report improved vision; others notice little or no difference. Risks of laser therapy include damage to your retina if the laser is aimed incorrectly."

My wife is a definite, you’re not gonna have that done. And I believe it is elective.

I had it done couple times and helped get rid of them he will numb eye with drops and laser. Area few times. Used routinely don’t be afraid to do it . As a nurse I also help Eye doc during this easy procedure. You in and out in no time.

But I’m not sure about that one. I don’t think so relative to your description. If my insurance covers it he will do it. No criticism, I really like the guy and his staff. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks and your suggestion will be front and center. Thank You.

Called yag laser. They pin point the areas in your eye with flashes of laser. Doesn’t hurt takes just a few minutes. Numb eye with drops .

I'm gonna have to look this up.

Thanks for the info.

===============

One day I was seeing little black spots. Didn’t think too much about it, but googled it. Said to go to the ER. I did and they were from a tear in the back of eye. Had surgery to repair it. Went back to the doc 10 days later and had to drive 80 miles to a different surgeon for more surgery.
It got fixed, but now I have normal floaters. I can live with them after the sugery to remove them was described to me.

There are often reasons for floaters. For example, I had my first outbreak of them just before my first flare of uveitis. For me, it was all the pigment and white cells being kicked up by the disease. Nobody thought anything of it until uveitis went from 0-60 in hours and I was in danger of going blind. Since then, I’ve been on an antiviral and prednisone eye drops. No floaters. But if I flare, they’re my first clue.

Find out WHY. There is always a WHY. Most WHYs can be addressed. See a good retinal specialist.

I’ve received a great deal of helpful information in a short period of time this evening. I’m working on a chit chat with my Doctor next month. Your input is greatly appreciated.

It works for me. Someone posted the same question and loads of people responded but one caught my attention and I thought why not try it. It’s pineapple. You eat about 6 to 8 chunks of fresh pineapple for a day or more. It worked the very next day and lasts for several days in my case. I have no idea if it works for everyone or just some.

I know it sounds like woo but I saw no harm in trying and was beside myself when it worked.

I’ll try anything.

The person recommending said....."It worked for me. There are enzymes in pineapple that dissolve eye floaters which are suspended protein in your eyes. Look it up. Eat about 9 to 10 inches of pineapple daily. My floaters were reduced by about 70 % and I had big ones".

I just picked up a bowl of pre-cut fresh pineapple from the store and some of the chunks can be really large so I ate about 8 the first time and reduced it to 6 just to see what happened and that worked for me. I had a really dark small spot and a lighter spot with some strings (not web-like). Everything went away. The dark spot started to come back a few days later but it was very light so I ate more.

Recommended by my eye Dr after floaters disrupted my art work. I’m greatly improved.

I was blown away that it worked for me. I told my brother about it. Not sure if he's tried it yet. He hates pineapple but he was considering trying it just for kicks. I don't have to eat it daily just every few days.

It helps to dissolve it.

Ask at DU and ye shall receive

Vitimin E and Fish oil.

Some discussion on high LDL levels and floaters.

If they are just mildly annoying you will just forget they are there after some months.

Unfortunately a vitrectomy is the only real solution. I've had both eyes done earlier this year and going back for one more touch up on my left at the end of August.

I can't even begin to tell you how much better my vision is. My floaters were awful for 12 long years.

Totally worth it though.

Thank You for the info.

I had floaters most of my life but they suddenly got worse about 12 years ago.

Also had cataract surgery in 2021 as a lead up to this. What a long journey this has been for me.

I really hope you can find a solution that works for you!

When this happened suddenly to me, it was optical neuritus, which is serious. I sure your Dr checked for that.

I suddenly developed a swirling gray and black scrim in my formerly better eye and was concerned abour having retinal damage. Dr says I “de-velcroed” my eyeball, as I had previously done to the other one, generating lots of debris, that is, floaters. She wants to check the retina again in a month, but otherwise there is nothing to be done. She says that laser treatment just turns a big floater into dozens of little ones, and that the victrectomy is rarely attempted as it can damage the eye badly.

So it’s another dam thing to live with.

My eye doctor is leaning to the laser stuff ever so slowly. I almost have myself talked out of it. My wife says he’ll no. Thank You again.

It’s not a pleasant situation.
