Hi, I am 19 years old and I have had an eye floater since I was about 14 years old. It shows up now and then and bothers me for a little while, but the past couple days, its been pretty constant. I am on the computer for many hours a day and I also play a lot of video games. Could that be aggravating the floater? Its very annoying and makes me dizzy. What can I do to help it stop bothering me so much??? Please help. thankyou!
Eye floaters are usually benign and very tough to get rid of. I have them. My brother's have disappeared since starting on Schulze's eyebright daily this year....
Happened across your message when I was looking around. I am not part of Curezone team, but I've been doing transcription for ophthalmologists and retinal specialists for 15 years, and used to work in an ophthalmology office. AT 19, it's probably not anything serious, but a sudden increase in floaters/flashes can sometimes mean a retinal detachment, which needs to be treated immediately. Your sight is nothing to mess around with - you should have it checked out by a good ophthalmologist (not an optometrist) or retinal specialist in your area. I'm a big believer in "alternative" medicine, as well, but if you have a situation where a tear, hole or detachment of the retina in the back of the eye has already occured, it can lead to serious vision loss if it's not surgically repaired (which they can often do with laser. Some people just have genetic weaknesses of one kind or another with their eyes.
The eye docs are finally starting to prescribe a certain combination of antioxidants for the prevention of progression of macular degeneration, only because there was finally an official study on it. Guess those antioxidants help the eyes after all. (well, duh!) In any case, I have a ton of floaters myself and have had for years, with no signs of any retinal "pathology," and I have read here and other places that it's sometimes related to liver stuff (i.e. do some flushing/cleansing, and look at your diet/nutrition.) Hope this helps - but go see an eye doc! It's an easy, non-invasive, non-painful exam, they will probably tell you it's a benign floater, and then you can go from there.
