I developed a floater in my right eye and it came with flashes in the night, but the flashes went away and the floater is lessening. I hope you were talking about flashes not going away that would be a big concern? I think it is the bio-flavanoids in the pineapple that give nutrients to the eye & floaters than appear less noticeable.
No matter if they flashes went away I would recommend going to an ophthalmologist. You could have had a minor retinal tear and you won’t know it unless they dilate your eyes and look. It’s a relatively easy fix with a laser procedure. If not treated, the vitreous can build up behind the hole and push more of the retina to detach.
I suspect that excessive sugar consumption causes those (bright white flashes). Sugar found in mainstream candy bars, soft drinks, white sugar that people put in their coffee, donuts, cakes, etc, etc. Restrict yourself to a sweet treat once or twice a week; and the sweetener that it contains should be RAW sugar, NOT white sugar. Raw honey, real Maple Syrup and Rice Syrup are ok; there are lots of organic candy bars now; and you'll find these things in organic food stores, like Whole Foods Market; and many main stream food stores carry these things. (White sugar) is dangerous and destructive.
Well the body is made up of water, the eye is made up with water, so why can't they empty the fluid from the eye, clearing out all the old fluid replace it with new fluid... I'm sure I've seen someone do that.
There's no safe cure (or even a cure at all) for A LOT of things. What does the year have to do with it. Compared to a hundred years ago, the things available now are borderline miraculous.
@@theworldthroughmyeyes26 they can remove the vitrious, but it brings risk of retinal damage with it, macular swelling, and possible infection, all of which are a hell of a lot worse than floaters. Not to mention this would be too expensive as an elective surgery for most people.
Just posted my own floater story and RUclips deleted it after a few minutes. I have no idea why. I think this story is important, though, so I'll summarize in one sentence: Severe floaters can eventually cause permanent neurological deficits as your brain, learning to ignore them, will eventually learn to ignore real visual information as well.

@@amiraamoloria They fade if you drink water. But if you see some flashes in your eye. Immediately visit a doctor. If their only white and dots or black dots is ok. You can still check them if you are worried.

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.
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.
@@CheckMateMate10 I think I will end up getting a vitrectomy. There seems to be a lot of treatments in the works now but they are at least 3 years off.
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!

Hi. Thanks for your feedback, I can absolutely see where you're coming from. I made another video about floaters and I talk about some of the studies for treatment and acknowledge the impact it has on people's lives. Here's that video: ruclips.net/video/jKKOXUar3nQ/видео.html We as a medical community tend to downplay floaters since they don't pose an immediate threat to sight. However, there is a mental health impact and we need to be better about recognizing that. In addition, please know that the title and thumbnail were not to make light, but instead an attempt to get seen in RUclips's algorithm so that more patients who suffer will see the video. But I will definitely keep your thoughts in mind as I go forward.
you need to remember, a floaters only vitrectomy has a 95% success rate, so when she says she doesn't recommend it, that's shameful on her part as it would help so many. The fact that many like her are hesitant is absurd considering people are fucking suffering. To tell a person just ignore them is simply barbaric.
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 🙏🏽💜
I’ve been having those things in my eye since I’m 17, the first one I had is like a worm, it moves and changes shapes, sometimes it curls up like a snake eww and it distracts me! Later on I started seeing cobwebs, then donut shaped little black dots, that appear very intense the brighter my field of vision is, then a new worm shaped floater appeared in my left eye, and new more little donuts are floating around in both eyes, but not hundreds, maybe about 20, but they’re extremely distracting, sometimes I fantasize how I would destroy them with my fingers if I could… I really wanna have a clear vision again.
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.
I would like to add that retinal detachments will often follow the lesser known vitreous detachment that most of us will experience as we get older. Sometimes the vitreous detachment will tug on the retina and tear it. That happened to me. I saw not so much any more floaters but got frequent flashes from the side of my eye. Went to 2 eye doctors who didn't see anything wrong. Finally one said to see a retinal specialist. I did and he found my tear. We did laser surgery that minute. So, two regular eye doctors didn't catch the tear, but the retina specialist guy did. My experience suggests passing on the other doctors, go straight to a retinal specialist. They have way different equipment and ways of looking for the tear. Mine was so old it was starting to heal on its own. I was very lucky it was in a place that was at the extreme edge of my vision. I honestly can't see where I am missing my vision that I lost.
Holy crap! I've been seeing flashes for quite some time now and my optometrist looked at my retina and said it was fine. Now I'm worried he might have missed something. I'm going to see opthamologist next.
@@yousufalharthi2960 Nothing. The opthamologist didn't see any issues. Said my retina was fine and sometimes people see flashes for a long time with a PVD. I can still see well so I guess I'm OK. I hope so!
I think I'm having night vision in my left eye. My eye stays kind dark and I can barely see out of it. My right eye was that way a bit when I would turn a light off but it cleared up. I am 68 years what can do about it, It's really annoying. It is hard to read out of that eye. It is really mostly a shadow I see of letters. 😞
Hello, I have a couple eye floaters only so far and I am notably nearsighted. My question is can exercising make eye floaters worse? Or does working out have no effect on eye floaters?
How to know if flashes or floaters get worse? Ive been checked out about it last friday my eyes seem fine.... but then just seen a flash like firework in 1 eye ? What should i do? Im picking up new glasses soon just dont want waste someones time... just want know what to do...
Its honestly never wasting anyones time if you have a new flash. Let your eye doc know! They can triage and see you/dilate you if they deem it necessary. But don't ever feel like its not worth it to tell us. We're here to make sure everything is ok with your eyes!
Mam my eyesight is -2.75 and i saw floaters and flashes when i saw towards sky but normally i do not see any flash and someone recommends me to do LASIK surgery for 6/6 vision and remove the glasses permenantly too.
hello doctor i am 18 years old and i have eye floaters. When I am at home I do not see anything when looking at a white wall or a shiny surface, but I see it wherever I look outside, what do you think is the reason for this? (my eye floaters ain't black, my eye floaters are transparent and ring) will this disappear by itself?
It's common to see floaters against plain backgrounds. My floaters are transparent, too. They will likely come and go, depending on what you're looking at and if you look for your floater you should be able to find it.
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.
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD As I stated before I thought it was a good demonstration and example when you did the video once of The Dr getting an exam. Very good demonstration
Cheers for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Franaar Spectacular Look Formula (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for curing eye floaters minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
It is common knowledge that, as we age, the parietal cells of the stomach produce less HCL. It is also true that, as we age, we are also prone to eye floaters; moreover, an older person ( with, coincidentally, less stomach acid ) is more apt to RETAIN the eye floaters acquired. My theory is the two are related. Inadequate stomach acid levels have been associated with a number of health conditions; could eye floaters be one of them? If so, could a proper blood pH ( normally between 7.35 and 7.45) contribute to the natural absorption of floaters?
I have had eye floaters since I was 13. However, I am not near sighted. The floaters don't obstruct my vision either. I have noticed I have a few new ones.
@@amiraamoloria That's interesting. For some reason, I have seen (at least) 3 more new floaters on each eye respectively. I heard they are harmless for the most part though so I'm not that worried. I just don't like the way they look. I feel like the eye floaters make my eyes look ugly. 😔😔😔
HI what if you see only a couple dark spots like just 2 or 3 is that serious? And the rest are just regularly floaters I'm also near cited as well and always had one floater at some point but lately I been having more so should I get a checkup?
pineapple 🍍 has definitely helped my vision problem is when I stop taking it they come back. But I would say after stopping taken them for a month they are not as dark!
I'm 25 years old and have eye floaters but went to my doctor she said my eyes are healthy :) I don't mind them they don't bother me but I'll always keep a look out and go back if I get any new symptoms Gotta keep my vision :)
Hello and thank you for the video it’s great to say doctors explaining it. I heard MSM drops work do you have any opinions on that?

Had a Laser Peripheral Iridotomy performed 4 months ago that immediately resulted in floaters and flashes. Retinal detachment was ruled out and have had follow up visits. As a healthy 50 year old nearsighted male Glaucoma suspect with a pressure of 18-20 mm at it's highest and Glaucoma in my family was this procedure worth the trouble it has caused?
I have floaters and flashes especially at night but a slight snowing effect if made aware of it. My eye sight is good but there has been a slight mottling for some time. Have you any advice particularly regarding the mild snowing effect. Thanks
I've had floaters since around 30 and they come and go. Now 45. Lately they've been worse, although I had a eye scan in January and it was all clear from any serious issues. So not sure if I should just ignore it or start freaking out.
Without AGE (advanced glycation endproducts) - breaker, it's impossible to effectively treat and reverse eye floaters. Nano-grade eye drops, real AGE-breaker, should be the last-ditch treatment for eye floaters. All glory belongs to God !
My right-eye vision is like looking underwater or foggy. This has been like this for a couple of years now and I've got used to it, but on Sunday morning when I woke up, I noticed a near circular-shaped floater in my left eye. I thought it would go away but it is still with me 4 days later with no signs of disappearing! 😟I am male 61 years old.
Hi doctor thanks for the explanation very informative, I have question is there retina detachment without the tear? I had the light flashing and floaters / cobwebs like in the eye but I should go to hospital straight away if I get lots of floaters.Very confusing?
Just started noticing them last week in my case it’s my heightened stress anxiety, dehydration and diet that’s causing them. Lately I’m learning how to ignore them instead of panicking does vitamins or MacuHealth work?? I have a mild case 🙏🏽
Probably they are not dangerous, but they're extremely annoying, at least for me. I was thinking about reading or working with my computer, for instance.
I called. I have floaters and flashes. It took me 4 weeks to be in. I’m going Friday. I had a few quick flashes at night. It’s happen several times in the past 4 weeks.
Greatly appreciate your explanation about floaters; one week ago a floater appeared in my eye, I thought something was in my eye yet I couldn't get it out. After some research and following up with your video, I have a better understanding of what's going on. And yes, I made an appointment with my eye doctor, I'm drinking more water and I'm going to give the pineapple a try, nothing to lose. Thank you again.
@@mehrihuseynova6059 Since introducing pineapple into my diet I've noticed the floater is smaller, not sure if the pineapple had anything to do with it or if it just naturally became smaller. Nevertheless, I like pineapple and it has other nutritious properties so I will keep eating it.

Hi, great video thanks. I've heard a lot about putting 2 drops of castor oil in the eyes to fix floaters and cataract. Even if it's not backed up by research, can it be damaging for the eye at all or it's safe to try it (organic cold pressed of course)? I'll try pineapple as well but the more the merrier if it works. 🙂

Later on I started seeing cobwebs, then donut shaped little black dots, that appear very intense the brighter my field of vision is, then a new worm shaped floater appeared in my left eye, and new more little donuts are floating around in both eyes, but not hundreds, maybe about 20, but they’re extremely distracting, sometimes I fantasize how I would destroy them with my fingers if I could… I really wanna have a clear vision again.
Wow holy run on sentence. I could barely understand you.
You don’t have to understand it, but glad you did at the end.
Did you went to eye specialist?? Please tell
Does it gone now? I have it right now and I’m so scared I’m also nearsighted
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.
I would like to add that retinal detachments will often follow the lesser known vitreous detachment that most of us will experience as we get older. Sometimes the vitreous detachment will tug on the retina and tear it. That happened to me. I saw not so much any more floaters but got frequent flashes from the side of my eye. Went to 2 eye doctors who didn't see anything wrong. Finally one said to see a retinal specialist. I did and he found my tear. We did laser surgery that minute. So, two regular eye doctors didn't catch the tear, but the retina specialist guy did. My experience suggests passing on the other doctors, go straight to a retinal specialist. They have way different equipment and ways of looking for the tear. Mine was so old it was starting to heal on its own. I was very lucky it was in a place that was at the extreme edge of my vision. I honestly can't see where I am missing my vision that I lost.
Holy crap! I've been seeing flashes for quite some time now and my optometrist looked at my retina and said it was fine. Now I'm worried he might have missed something. I'm going to see opthamologist next.
@@bluejay9890hello, what happened ?
@@yousufalharthi2960 Nothing. The opthamologist didn't see any issues. Said my retina was fine and sometimes people see flashes for a long time with a PVD. I can still see well so I guess I'm OK. I hope so!
I think I'm having night vision in my left eye. My eye stays kind dark and I can barely see out of it. My right eye was that way a bit when I would turn a light off but it cleared up. I am 68 years what can do about it, It's really annoying. It is hard to read out of that eye. It is really mostly a shadow I see of letters. 😞
Me too i had afloater in my eye.after my Len inplant and cataract surgery..black particles .
Hello, I have a couple eye floaters only so far and I am notably nearsighted. My question is can exercising make eye floaters worse? Or does working out have no effect on eye floaters?
I just started having floaters in my right eye but only notice them when driving or in the sun, will try the pineapple
I have flashes of light and billion floaters in my eyes and I been seen by eye specialists and they all said my eyes are fine.... I don’t get it
Same here i had flashes and floaters in one eye 😥

How to know if flashes or floaters get worse? Ive been checked out about it last friday my eyes seem fine.... but then just seen a flash like firework in 1 eye ? What should i do? Im picking up new glasses soon just dont want waste someones time... just want know what to do...
Its honestly never wasting anyones time if you have a new flash. Let your eye doc know! They can triage and see you/dilate you if they deem it necessary. But don't ever feel like its not worth it to tell us. We're here to make sure everything is ok with your eyes!
For how long you experienced flashes? I had the same problem😓
Mam my eyesight is -2.75 and i saw floaters and flashes when i saw towards sky but normally i do not see any flash and someone recommends me to do LASIK surgery for 6/6 vision and remove the glasses permenantly too.
I'm also in the same situation as yours
I have dots that is following my vision, i dont know what to do 😓😭😢
Go watch austin goh's floater exercise. It helped a lot
I have floaters in my left eye and my eye is getting blur what should I do?
Contact eye doctor
hello doctor i am 18 years old and i have eye floaters. When I am at home I do not see anything when looking at a white wall or a shiny surface, but I see it wherever I look outside, what do you think is the reason for this? (my eye floaters ain't black, my eye floaters are transparent and ring) will this disappear by itself?
It's common to see floaters against plain backgrounds. My floaters are transparent, too. They will likely come and go, depending on what you're looking at and if you look for your floater you should be able to find it.
It stay in Ur eye for life.
I have blephartis I some times experience eye floaters is it normal? And also does blephartis and Mgd cause any vision loss to the eyes?
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.
i got a lot of floaters in just 6-8 months... like from 5 to 100.. :(
What's worse, my tinnitus or my floaters.
Floaters are also a good reason for a Preventive Maintenance Yearly Dilated Eye exam, :)
Yes!!!! One thousand percent!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD As I stated before I thought it was a good demonstration and example when you did the video once of The Dr getting an exam. Very good demonstration
Cheers for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Franaar Spectacular Look Formula (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for curing eye floaters minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
It is common knowledge that, as we age, the parietal cells of the stomach produce less HCL. It is also true that, as we age, we are also prone to eye floaters; moreover, an older person ( with, coincidentally, less stomach acid ) is more apt to RETAIN the eye floaters acquired. My theory is the two are related. Inadequate stomach acid levels have been associated with a number of health conditions; could eye floaters be one of them? If so, could a proper blood pH ( normally between 7.35 and 7.45) contribute to the natural absorption of floaters?
Great question!
Yes that's why ppis affect your eyes
I have had eye floaters since I was 13. However, I am not near sighted. The floaters don't obstruct my vision either. I have noticed I have a few new ones.
Sameeeee
@@auroradili-hiller696 I have then and it’s annoying!!
@@Trygvhkikkkhg ueahhh!! Omg i was going to poke my eye.
I had it also since I'm 13. But I don't see new onces
@@amiraamoloria That's interesting. For some reason, I have seen (at least) 3 more new floaters on each eye respectively. I heard they are harmless for the most part though so I'm not that worried. I just don't like the way they look. I feel like the eye floaters make my eyes look ugly. 😔😔😔
I have floaters and it drive me crazy
Please help me, I have floaters and life is miserable. It's not possible to ignore them.
HI what if you see only a couple dark spots like just 2 or 3 is that serious? And the rest are just regularly floaters I'm also near cited as well and always had one floater at some point but lately I been having more so should I get a checkup?
I see one dark spot and sometimes a white sparkle. I'm scared :( do u still see them?
pineapple 🍍 has definitely helped my vision problem is when I stop taking it they come back. But I would say after stopping taken them for a month they are not as dark!
Sir is that really helpfull for floaters..?
And daily 1 full pineapple or less than that.
Did they help? Will the eye floaters go back if you stop eating?
Pineapple treatment is a joke
Please make a video on the Eye Laser Treatment. I m 38 now. Can i get eye laser treatment. Does it hurt...My both eyes vision are weak 1-1/2
I've got a "surgical options for floaters" video coming in the next few months!
I'm 25 years old and have eye floaters but went to my doctor she said my eyes are healthy :) I don't mind them they don't bother me but I'll always keep a look out and go back if I get any new symptoms
Gotta keep my vision :)
Hi how are u now please reply
Love ❤ your explanation.
Please take care, Dr. D.
Don't eat pineapple if you are diabetic.
Hello and thank you for the video it’s great to say doctors explaining it. I heard MSM drops work do you have any opinions on that? I know it’s hard to give an opinion as I am not your patient and I do not hold you responsible just was hoping to get an opinion on those drops? Thanks again have a great day and thanks for the video
Hii! I wanted to ask if it’s normal since i’m only 17, i see eye floaters since 5/6 yrs. I’m scared because they got kinda bigger and there’s more :/
Any time you're concerned about your floaters, you should definitely contact your eye doctor to have them checked out.
have them from a serious concussion feel so frustrated about them
How long have you had them now? I have a new video coming next wednesday about surgical options for floaters so stay tuned for that!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD had them for about 1 year and had my concussion about 2 years ago
Had a Laser Peripheral Iridotomy performed 4 months ago that immediately resulted in floaters and flashes. Retinal detachment was ruled out and have had follow up visits. As a healthy 50 year old nearsighted male Glaucoma suspect with a pressure of 18-20 mm at it's highest and Glaucoma in my family was this procedure worth the trouble it has caused?
I have floaters and flashes especially at night but a slight snowing effect if made aware of it. My eye sight is good but there has been a slight mottling for some time. Have you any advice particularly regarding the mild snowing effect. Thanks
its called visual snow syndrome
I try to swat my floaters out of the air 😂😂 it never works
Very Good Demonstration....I also have floater in my both eyes but I ignore it
What's ur age
@@mr.ravagepulse4932 28
I've had floaters since around 30 and they come and go. Now 45. Lately they've been worse, although I had a eye scan in January and it was all clear from any serious issues. So not sure if I should just ignore it or start freaking out.
How many you had when you were 30?
The science world has not done enough to resolve the floater issues medically.
I just recorded a video on the medical interventions out there for floaters! Coming in the next month or so!
@@EyeSchoolwithDrD l 'll be eagerly waiting for that video.
I agree
Can I do physical exercises with eye floaters?
How are your floaters now
Without AGE (advanced glycation endproducts) - breaker, it's impossible to effectively treat
and reverse eye floaters.
Nano-grade eye drops, real AGE-breaker, should be the last-ditch treatment for
eye floaters.
All glory belongs to God !
I'm having eye floater teen rn
My right-eye vision is like looking underwater or foggy. This has been like this for a couple of years now and I've got used to it, but on Sunday morning when I woke up, I noticed a near circular-shaped floater in my left eye. I thought it would go away but it is still with me 4 days later with no signs of disappearing! 😟I am male 61 years old.
Hi doctor thanks for the explanation very informative, I have question is there retina detachment without the tear? I had the light flashing and floaters / cobwebs like in the eye but I should go to hospital straight away if I get lots of floaters.Very confusing?
What's the update
Just started noticing them last week in my case it’s my heightened stress anxiety, dehydration and diet that’s causing them. Lately I’m learning how to ignore them instead of panicking does vitamins or MacuHealth work?? I have a mild case 🙏🏽
Probably they are not dangerous, but they're extremely annoying, at least for me. I was thinking about reading or working with my computer, for instance.
I called. I have floaters and flashes.
It took me 4 weeks to be in. I’m going Friday.
I had a few quick flashes at night.
It’s happen several times in the past 4 weeks.
So can floaters ( i get them when looking at the sky/ light blank walls etc.) not be a symptom of a head tumor?
Greatly appreciate your explanation about floaters; one week ago a floater appeared in my eye, I thought something was in my eye yet I couldn't get it out. After some research and following up with your video, I have a better understanding of what's going on. And yes, I made an appointment with my eye doctor, I'm drinking more water and I'm going to give the pineapple a try, nothing to lose. Thank you again.
Have you tried pineapple? progress has been made in your eyes?
@@mehrihuseynova6059 Since introducing pineapple into my diet I've noticed the floater is smaller, not sure if the pineapple had anything to do with it or if it just naturally became smaller. Nevertheless, I like pineapple and it has other nutritious properties so I will keep eating it.

yeah kinda interested in that too

I get I mucus and I call it floaters. So I been calling it the wrong thing. They said I have dry eyes use sustain. But that don’t help.
I’m convinced I didn’t see floaters . It was something I saw the night after I was thinking about suicide. They weren’t black or grey
Lady. Lady. You are subtly humorous, I love it.
Front optision too 👁👀optometrist upscale to🛌 surgery ,or 💊 medicine .bromelain is part of the problem not the cure. Dr j.allen your side of the pond .Nice video .but were down to stem cell technology!
I'm 40. I've tried all this with no luck or difference. It's totally driving me nuts. I'm going to try Bromaline next.
Very nice summary thanks!
Is there any psychologycal factor to see the floters because I seen one video before aftar that I satarted caocentrate on that...
Umm I’m only 16 and have had them for years I’m not near sided and as far as I know I have never hit my head or eyes hard
Pineapple = bromelain...and yes, it works.
You try it by yourself ??
@@benjaloun2012 Do you mean, with no one else in the room? It really doesn't matter. I take it every day and when you take it with NAC, it eliminates those nasty spike proteins that no one was prepared for.
@@siriusfeline Thanks for the information,
I would start eating pineapple, but i found a lot of people say it didnt work for them. How long time you follow this treatment. thanks
@@benjaloun2012 If you take the concentrated enzyme in the form of a capsule or tablet; you will get much better results. One thing, floaters occur for different reasons in different people and this may not work for you. Try the pills first before you give up, though. They can't hurt you, so you can take a lot.
@@benjaloun2012 I would also suggest you to look at Dr. Eric Berg's channel on youtube regarding 'floaters'.
Great video Doc, Thanks!
My pleasure!
I wonder how to know if floaters or flashers get worse cos im not good at noticing my visual very well quick im slow but scared if i tell wrong thing to person which that is problem 😭🤔
Where are you located at am in Washingtonstate

Hi, great video thanks. I've heard a lot about putting 2 drops of castor oil in the eyes to fix floaters and cataract. Even if it's not backed up by research, can it be damaging for the eye at all or it's safe to try it (organic cold pressed of course)? I'll try pineapple as well but the more the merrier if it works. 🙂
I think I'll make a video about this!
