A Natural Approach To Health
Living With Floaters
I had a question the other day about floaters.
Eye floaters are small moving spots appearing in your field of vision.
They may be especially noticeable when you look at something bright, like white paper or a blue sky.
Eye floaters can be annoying, but they generally don’t interfere with your sight.
Occasionally a particularly large eye floater may cast a subtle shadow over your vision.
But this usually happens only in certain types of light.
Most of the time people learn to live with eye floaters and ignore them.
And they often improve over months to years.
Only rarely do floaters become bothersome enough to consider treatment.
But sometimes floaters are a sign of a more serious condition.
You should seek immediate medical attention if you notice a sudden increase in the number of eye floaters.
Immediate medical attention is especially important if the floaters are accompanied by flashes of light or a loss of side vision.
If you have these symptoms, see an eye doctor right away.
Without immediate treatment, you can have permanent vision loss.
These symptoms may be caused by:
>Retinal detachment
>Retinal tear
>Bleeding within your eye
Floaters move as your eyes move.
They generally appear to dart away when you try to focus on them.
Floaters can appear in many different shapes, like:
>Black or gray dots
>Squiggly lines
>Threadlike strands, which can be knobby and semi-transparent
>Cobwebs
>Ring shaped
Once you develop eye floaters they usually don’t go away, but they tend to improve over time.
Most floaters are caused by small flecks of a protein called collagen.
The back compartment of your eye is filled with a gel-like substance called vitreous humor.
As you age, the vitreous and its millions of fine collagen fibers shrink and become shred-like.
Shreds can accumulate in the vitreous.
This can cause a change in the amount of light hitting your retina — the light-sensitive tissue in the back of your eye.
This change causes the symptoms of eye floaters.
These changes can happen at any age.
They most often occur between ages 50 and 75, especially in people who are very nearsighted or have had cataract surgery.
If floaters are bothersome, you can move them away from your field of vision by moving your eyes.
This shifts the fluid in your eyes.
Looking up and down is usually more effective than looking from side to side.
If floaters are so dense and numerous they affect your vision, your eye doctor may consider a surgical procedure.
To deal with floaters it’s beneficial to:
*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily.
*Include the following in your diet: broccoli, raw cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, green vegetables, squash, sunflower seeds, and watercress.
*Eliminate sugar and white flour from your diet.
*It’s normal to see a few floaters at times, but if you suddenly see a large number of them, consult an ophthalmologist. This may be a sign of developing retinal detachment. Delaying treatment can result in a detached retina requiring lengthy surgery.
*Avoid smoke-filled rooms.
*Eliminate toxic cosmetics, eye care, and personal care products.
*Eliminate chlorinated shower/bath water, which could be irritating.
