and it is making me crazy. It is like trying to see through a dancing fog all the time and gets worse when I am in stores-so trying to shop for food has become extremely challenging and having these floaters is SO stressful. Does anyone have any feedback about what can be done?

I'm 53 and had developed eye floaters about 4 or 5 years ago. The doctors told me that they're harmless, but whoever has had them knows how annoying they are. They also said that I could have them "burned off" with laser surgery, but there was no way I was going to "burn" anything off my eyes! So I kind of accepted that my floaters were there to stay.
Then I came across this system, and seeing that you were offering a full money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose well I was wrong - I did lose my floaters!! Oh my god I still can't believe my floaters are gone and my vision is as pristine as it was 5 years ago!
Getting rid of eye floaters without the high costs & dangers of laser treatments?

Floaters are generally a normal thing esp in people around the age of 45-55 as their eyes go through changes.
A huge spray of "dots" is not normal at any age.
This can indicate a tear in the retina.
Do you see flashes of lights like someone has a sparkler in your eye? This is the way the retina tells the body that there is something going on.
Are you diabetic? The dancing fog tells me that there might be some bleeders in your eye and you are seeing through the blood as you call it . . fog.
There is no true way to know exactlly what is going on in your eye unless you see an Ophthalmologist who needs to do an dilated eye exam so to see the whole inside of your eye.
If there should be a tear in your retina or if there should be some bleeding going on,an Opthalmologist is the only one who can treat it and this is usually with laser.(The treatment is painless)
This is something that should not be put off as early detection and treatment is VERY important.

Make an appointment with your opthamologist. If you don't have one, see your family doctor and he can refer you. This is very inportant. I had floaters and ended up with a hole in my macula. The floaters are peices of vitrous(the gel substance in your eye)that tear away and float. Mine tore away and tore a hole in my macula - the macule is the lining of your eye that measures distance, color and shapes so the retina can take a picture of it and send it to the brain and then you see. I had to have surgery. It was not easy. I had to spend 20 hours a day for the first week with my eyes to the floor. I could go into detail, but here I will just tell you that you need to see an opthmologist. The floaters may mean nothing, or it may be serious.

Is it possible you might be experiencing migranes? I know it might sound crazy, but I was recently diagnosed w/migranes (visual disturbances only, headaches occassionally). I suggest seeing an eye doctor to get the floaters checked out. No sense going thru life w/an ongoing problem, especially where vision is concerned.

you should see an eye specialist. (Ophthalmologist)
do your eye-floaters look like this?

a mild case of those is probably nothing to worry about, unless it causes you any trouble, but a severe case such as yours?
this might lead to a disease in your eyes that may eventualy blind you.
hope this helps and the best of luck!

See an Ophthalmologist.
It's normal to have floaters, but not so bad that you cannot see well.

See an ophthalmologist. They might be able to get rid of these with a laser.

See your optician for reassurance; I had similar and it drove me crazy for a while, but has now eased off.
