I have floaters since 4 years and the best treatment for this is to ignore and adapt it Soon u could have no issues with it
-
I have this since I was teen! But I only became near sighted in my 20's.. I never looked or asked about it, but it is nice to finally know what it is!
-
I really enjoy this video.....This video should go viral I love the way you broke it down so people can clearly understand what is going on. Thank You 🙏🏽💜

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!

Love ❤ your explanation. Please take care, Dr. D.
-
Lady. Lady. You are subtly humorous, I love it.
-
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.
-
Thanks very much for such detailed explanation
-

Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼

Thank you for this I’ve had floaters as far back as I can remember. I have never found anyone els with them so I had no clue it was an actual thing. Mine look like perfect tiny bubbles floating around but they have never really bothered me, I also have sever ADHD with helps me block them out anytime I’m not directly thinking about them.
-
Thanks so much for the floaters explanation
-
I just started having floaters in my right eye but only notice them when driving or in the sun, will try the pineapple
-
They can be extremely debilitating and destructive to ones life. I've personally had a suicide attempt due to the level of stress caused by them. It's easy to say ' thry aren't harmful ' when in reality they stop you enjoying basic things in life like going for walks, to the beach, playing sports.
-
You are wonderful. You explain it so well.Thank for sharing..<3 God bless you
-
Awesome video, glad I watched it! A word, to all of you that had floaters for a long time, think of them as an organic compound that derived from you, don't make yourself feel invaded by that. True, they can annoy and distract, but at the end of the day, you know how to overcome that, if you had them for a long time.
