Eye Floaters?

Question

My husband is 36 and is very near sighted. He recently starting seeing a lot of floaters in both eyes--worse in his left. He's had occasional ones but he says this is like trying to see through a snowglobe. He saw an opthamologist and he said my husband is just getting old. The dr. did rule out problems with his retina. Since the increase in floaters seemed to come on suddenly, my husband's not convinced it's just his extreme old age (I had no idea 36 was old!). Has anyone else had this problem? What were you told and what did you do about it?

Answer 1

I'm 22 and I have a few floaters as well (more than an average 22 year old would have). I have seen 3 ophthalmologists and they all say that thorough eye check up once/twice a year is important to make sure that the retina isn't under any stress or tension. But my floaters started showing up gradually over 10 years, if your husband noticed floaters of that amount within an year or two, than something serious is going on in his eyes. You need to take him to an ophthalmologist, who is willing to examine his eyes with patience, using a slit lamp and perform ophthalmoscopy (which should take 10 minutes at least), which enables the Dr to see directly at the retina through a lens with light shining through it, a healthy retina is supposed to look orange (kinda bright orange). If you are really resourceful you might want to have an ultrasound examination of his fundus as well.

You might need to check your husband's diet as well, if he isn't taking all the vitamins and minerals required for the nourishing of his eyes (like Vitamin A, B12, etc) then his eyes will become weaker and weaker. You will have to make him eat liver friendly food as well, i can't recall at the moment what food items are good for the liver, but Google it up/ask a doc, and add that to his diet. Liver friendly food might help him get rid of his floaters as the eye ball is filled with a vitreous gel (which is mainly protein (like an egg white)) so if you liver isn't in good condition then the protein in the eye (vitreous gel) starts to liquidate slowly but surely and that causes friction between the eye and the gel which in turn causes the cells of the retina to pull and fall apart from from parts which end up floating in that gel and cast a shadow on the retina. A few floaters won't do much harm, but if you get lots of floaters than your retina is more prone to detachment from the eye ball, which would cause (probably permanent) blindness (after causing flashes/shadow in vision etc for a short period of time). So.....if his liver can keep that protein in gel form than his floaters might settle down lower in the eye ball outside of direct vision and the gel state of the protein may hold it in that place even when the eye rotates. And last but not least, if your husband uses a computer for more than 20 minutes a day, get him a LCD monitor (if you haven't already) because CRT monitors are always stressful on eyes regardless of how many years you have been using it for. Same goes for an TV that you guys might have.

If you want more precise knowledge on this topic, I would recommend you to read this book :
http://www.amazon.ca/Ophthalmology-Textbook-Gerhard-K-Lang/dp/1588905551/ref=sr_1_2/701-0040367-8968315?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194147487&sr=8-2
You don't need to read the whole book, just read the chapters relating to retina and examinations, it is a great wealth of knowledge, it cleared up alot of questions in my mind.

Keep in mind that in this era, eye transplant is not possible, as no one has figured out how to connect over a million nerves correctly to the optic nerve. There are lots of misguiding articles online stating about some orphan kid getting an eye transplant, whereas the kid would have received something else like a pupil or something, not the whole eye ball!

Save your husband's vision while you can!!!!

So..
If you got eyefloaters and you are looking for some very effective remedies you should check this site:

Here is some some clinical info about your condition.


Anyone can get eye floaters. Indeed, some people are born with them, possibly as a result of a traumatic birth. Others have a condition wherein the vitreous humor (the jelly-like substance inside the eyeball) does not form correctly, and this will also cause eye floaters to be present at birth. However, eye floaters are more prevalent in people over the age of 45, and the chances of getting eye floaters increases with age. This is because the liquid inside the eyes starts to lose its shape and consistency, and it may even detach itself from its correct position. In addition, the protein in the vitreous humor may get damaged, and this will cause it to aggregate together and cause the appearance of floaters.
Bye Bye

Answer 4

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!

He needs to see another doctor. Having that many floaters is not due to his age. Yes, it is true that having a lot of them is characteristic of extreme nearsightedness. I'm more than a decade older than he is and I'm also very nearsighted. I do have floaters but they aren't a major problem. The only time I really notice them is when I look at a blank wall or at the sky. He's got another problem that should be checked out as soon as possible.

Answer 9

Your husband should see a specialist. I had some visible floaters in my left eye a couple of years ago. They lasted for about a month, and then went away. I actually wasn't sure if my eyeglasses had a serious scratch or if I was having trouble seeing. I finally went to the eye doctor a few months later. He dilated my eyes and then referred me to a retinal specialist.

It turned out that I had toxoplasmosis that traveled to my eye and caused retinal damage. Fortunately, the infection was no longer active, but if I had taken care of it right away, I probably wouldn't have permanent scarring.
