Why is there still not one invasive and safe treatments for eye floaters if doctors know that they are invasive. This is incredibly frustrating. Every optometrist will say that there's nothing you can do to make them disappear. It really sucks that no one is researching safer ways to treat them.

@wakeywakey2910 2 года назад

Just to say THANK YOU for this! I had flashes and floaters come on suddenly, (I am 56) two days before, and went to my optician straight away that day after watching your video. They did an in depth analysis and thankfully, found nothing wrong! In fact, they commented on how healthy my eyes are! It was odd seeing such an in depth picture of the inside and back of your eyes! This was four days ago and they are still there, one floater and occasional small 'flashes' around the corner of my eye, nothing really has changed, nor gotten worse, so am hoping it will be less noticeable as time progresses. My optician did say that these things can be brought on by stress and lack of sleep, which I have been suffering from of late. So thank you so much and to others, don't be scared to make that appointment!

@EyeSchoolwithDrD 2 года назад

I did get a bit worried at first, but then I got this quite excited feeling once I made the appointment and SO PLEASED to note I was in good eye health. Since then this has also led me to make other healthier lifestyle changes, as this came on as I was 'thinking about' these changes and it was almost like the Universe was saying to me/giving me that little push to say....'do it...make those healthy improvements...' and am feeling way better all round. Strange how things work out. Many thanks again :-)

@cellgrrl 2 года назад

I would like to add that retinal detachments will often follow the lesser known vitreous detachment that most of us will experience as we get older. Sometimes the vitreous detachment will tug on the retina and tear it. That happened to me. I saw not so much any more floaters but got frequent flashes from the side of my eye. Went to 2 eye doctors who didn't see anything wrong. Finally one said to see a retinal specialist. I did and he found my tear. We did laser surgery that minute. So, two regular eye doctors didn't catch the tear, but the retina specialist guy did. My experience suggests passing on the other doctors, go straight to a retinal specialist. They have way different equipment and ways of looking for the tear. Mine was so old it was starting to heal on its own. I was very lucky it was in a place that was at the extreme edge of my vision. I honestly can't see where I am missing my vision that I lost.

@bluejay9890 7 месяцев назад

Holy crap! I've been seeing flashes for quite some time now and my optometrist looked at my retina and said it was fine. Now I'm worried he might have missed something. I'm going to see opthamologist next.

@ladydy9563 3 года назад

I developed a floater in my right eye and it came with flashes in the night, but the flashes went away and the floater is lessening. I hope you were talking about flashes not going away that would be a big concern? I think it is the bio-flavanoids in the pineapple that give nutrients to the eye & floaters than appear less noticeable.

@jayelliot 3 года назад

No matter if they flashes went away I would recommend going to an ophthalmologist. You could have had a minor retinal tear and you won’t know it unless they dilate your eyes and look. It’s a relatively easy fix with a laser procedure. If not treated, the vitreous can build up behind the hole and push more of the retina to detach.

@keyaireeboos7026 2 года назад

I suspect that excessive sugar consumption causes those (bright white flashes). Sugar found in mainstream candy bars, soft drinks, white sugar that people put in their coffee, donuts, cakes, etc, etc. Restrict yourself to a sweet treat once or twice a week; and the sweetener that it contains should be RAW sugar, NOT white sugar. Raw honey, real Maple Syrup and Rice Syrup are ok; there are lots of organic candy bars now; and you'll find these things in organic food stores, like Whole Foods Market; and many main stream food stores carry these things. (White sugar) is dangerous and destructive.

@NewsHistorian 3 года назад

Had a Laser Peripheral Iridotomy performed 4 months ago that immediately resulted in floaters and flashes. Retinal detachment was ruled out and have had follow up visits. As a healthy 50 year old nearsighted male Glaucoma suspect with a pressure of 18-20 mm at it's highest and Glaucoma in my family was this procedure worth the trouble it has caused?

I cured my floaters 100 percentage using following way in 4 months --- Most important - 3 big slices of pineapple 2times a day for 2 month then 1 slice for 1 time to avoid any side effects of pineapple overeating -- 1. Drink lots of water 2. Drink 1 glass of water before sleep & in between sleep if you awake drink water 3. Sleep for 9+ hours 1/2 + hour afternoon & sleep without pillow 4. Keep eyes always hydrated (not dry) use water to wash eye (6/7 times a day) to hydrate 5. Fasting (no food) one day per week.. fruit+water allowed 6. Don't squeeze or use fingers or any eye related exercise.. just keep natural eye movement. Should not give any stress on eye.. also don't cough heavily to avoid eye pressure 7. Avoid tv/mobile/laptop as much possible 8. Add fruit in dailt - I eat 5 fruit everyday 9. Run for 15 minutes everyday 10. Take 1 spoon of ghee everyday 11. Start Ayurvedic Treatment (mostly specialist in eye) 12. Sleep on face down posture for 1/2 hours every day

It is common knowledge that, as we age, the parietal cells of the stomach produce less HCL. It is also true that, as we age, we are also prone to eye floaters; moreover, an older person ( with, coincidentally, less stomach acid ) is more apt to RETAIN the eye floaters acquired. My theory is the two are related. Inadequate stomach acid levels have been associated with a number of health conditions; could eye floaters be one of them? If so, could a proper blood pH ( normally between 7.35 and 7.45) contribute to the natural absorption of floaters?

I have had eye floaters since I was 13. However, I am not near sighted. The floaters don't obstruct my vision either. I have noticed I have a few new ones.

@@amiraamoloria That's interesting. For some reason, I have seen (at least) 3 more new floaters on each eye respectively. I heard they are harmless for the most part though so I'm not that worried. I just don't like the way they look. I feel like the eye floaters make my eyes look ugly. 😔😔😔

@hopeandfaith7848 3 года назад

hello doctor i am 18 years old and i have eye floaters. When I am at home I do not see anything when looking at a white wall or a shiny surface, but I see it wherever I look outside, what do you think is the reason for this? (my eye floaters ain't black, my eye floaters are transparent and ring) will this disappear by itself?

@EyeSchoolwithDrD 3 года назад

It's common to see floaters against plain backgrounds. My floaters are transparent, too. They will likely come and go, depending on what you're looking at and if you look for your floater you should be able to find it.

I want to know how to treat my eye floaters, so I searched the way to treatment with internet in Japanese. But Japanese website has little information about eye floaters. Then I watched in this video, I learned stay hydrated is effective. I haven't found this information never before, so will try to this way. Thanks. But I cant understand basis for this method. When someone tell me about, I am pleased. Thank you for reading this far in poor English.

Any time you're concerned about your floaters, you should definitely contact your eye doctor to have them checked out.

I have acquired 2 fairly large floaters, light brown or dark yellow in color. This after 5 weeks of cataract surgery. The 2 floaters cover about 20% of my vision. They're very unlike other floaters which are cobwebs or spots of black. What could these be and should I be concerned ?

@EyeSchoolwithDrD 3 года назад

Were you seen for your 1 month post op at 4 weeks and they appeared after (just within the last week?) this close to surgery I’d want to take a look if I were your doc. It’s not necessarily a problem but call your doctor and describe what you’re seeing.
