I have floaters only, and started getting them in my mid 20s. Just a small amount and very small floaters. No flashes of light. I’m 64 now, and have been getting annual eye exams. I only see floaters or notice them when I look at a solid white or light color wall or look up at the sky. My doctor basically is monitoring and told me to let her know if I start seeing flashes of light. Though many have this due to aging, healthy foods also plays a role in good eye health. The American diet including chemicals and pesticides in the water and air plays a part in our health.
😊Since I’m stuck with those floaters,, they need to start paying rent😂😂
LOL
I agree! 😅
Yes with rent goimg up & everything else going up got to get it from were ever. Thanks
😂
Lol hahahha for real
I’ve had floaters for some time. When I get bored I sometimes play with them by moving my eyes left & right. Kind of like playing pong.
Hahahahaha
😅
Me too😆lol
You can see them real good when you look up at the sky 👍
Lol, so funny! I do the same thing, my wife thinks I am crazy 🤪 how I move my eyes sometimes lol 😂😂😅..
I’ve had floaters for so long. I hardly ever see them anymore unless I’m thinking about it.
Yep, I've had them since the early 1960s.
How old were you when you noticed the floaters has it worse. Since or have you obtained more since then ?
Same here. I noticed them as a teenager in the 80s. I have more now but they don't bother me. If I focus on them there seems to be more.
@@MG63You know you can shake them around so they're not in your way. lol
Same. Unless taking a difficult shot while shooting pool lol
Thanks a lot, Docs. I can't believe we're getting so much good information for free every week, and that too from sources legally qualified to talk about health 😄
I am 65 and have had floaters almost all my life...all through school.
👍 Me, too! What age do we need to return to for them to go away? Our mother's womb?
I had a detachment in my early 40’s. If you see flashes get to the eye doc ASAP as this is a very serious issue. I went right away, had buckle surgery, and fortunately did not lose my vision. That was 19 years ago.
I agree!! Always go ASAP if you see a flash.
I had a "flash" during covid and thought it was just a migraine aura. Had a grey haze in my eye for 7 days and finally called the eye doctor. They told me to "come in NOW" and 30 minutes later I was having laser surgery for a "significant" retinal tear. Everything turned out OK but I still have lots of floaters and a grey have in that eye.
Susan that happened to me . The floaters changed shape and became a lot bigger , fortunately I had it seen to , a detached retina . Lucky I did not ignore them like I always did

I bet you were relieved Susan
When I had peripheral flashes that started suddenly, my local eye doctor treated it like an emergency and fit me into one of the first appointments of the day. He gave me one of the most comprehensive exams I've ever had to rule out retinal detachment. Fortunately, it did seem to be just normal aging.
Same here. Just a few months ago. I also had a follow up appointment. I thought I was going blind😮.
A release of large grainy floaters and then peripheral flashes like arcs on left side of left eye. Not like the small skinny floaters I’ve had in the past. Scary at first. Got checked and just older guy problems. Scary at first. History of macular degeneration in our family.
Same. Doc was really sweet about how important it was to get checked. My niece had surgery for a detached retina in her 40s. Her husband took her in immediately, and she had a good result.
A low CARB & low sugar diet has definitely helped reduce my floaters. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks Greg.
That's interesting, thanks. 😊
Great advice for those of us who are dealing with floaters.
Thanks Docs, I have lots of weird eye floaters and blurry spots. I always get told its normal even by eye doctors. I feel lucky to have lived long enough to have age related problems.
Perhaps you should see someone one else, while you still can see someone else. There are far to many low grade doctors in all avenues of medicine.
Change your diet yeah to Keto, they will go away
@@BainsPummy I will tighten up my diet.
The past few days, while laying down for break at work, I've been very annoyed staring at all the floaters. This video being posted so soon after is a wild coincidence. Love the content, Docs
Another good one docs .
Have you done an episode on ringing in the ears ? If not plz do one .
For sure!📳...
Hy what's ur age
I had my floaters removed last year. Worked great, under light anesthesia they put a needle in your eye and suck out the sack of floaters. All gone, I had floaters since I was 20. I see my eye, Doctor yearly.
You can get them treated, the fluid in your eye can be flushed out and replaced with a clear, saline solution. There are some who also use the laser procedure to zap the floaters. Both options are expensive, not part of standard healthcare.
A very important issue. One day I had an unusual (to me) number of floaters so I contacted my eye doctor (an optometrist). He examined my eye and said everything is fine and this just happens when you get older. I was in my early 50s.. Several years later, my vision got very strange, where straight lines looked like curves to me. Went to Duke Eye Center where they determined I had had a retina detachment when I had all those floaters. I had to have a vitrectomy to remove scar tissue from my retina. Not fun. My vision in that eye has never been good ever since.
Should’ve gone to Ophthalmologist instead of Optometrist
I’ve had tons of floaters in my eye since I can remember. I am 63 now. I’ve had the occasional flash and have it checked out. If you get a bunch of flashes all at one time that is when it is very serious and you have got to get to the ER immediately!
Thanks guys, great video with good info.
I am 64 and recently experienced flashing arc lights in my left eye as well as increased floaters.
After a check up, all is good, just getting older.
Very helpful videos! Thank you all!
Good information Drs. As always I can’t miss a video.👏 I get floaters before a migraine comes.
The fountain of youth is in St. Augustine, Florida. They used to give out tiny cups to drink. I guess it didn't work for me 😊
I've never been to Florida, but it probably would have aged me. 😆 🤣 😂
I have a posterior vitreous detachment that was diagnosed a few years ago. I see my eye doctor every 6 months to have it checked. They also check for glaucoma. Thanks for the wonderful and informative videos.
Sounds exactly what happened to me in February. Very scary at first.
It's anecdotal but bromelain, which comes from pineapple, supposedly helps w/floaters. It seems to have helped diminish mine.
I had flashing like a laser beam in one eye so went to the ER Sunday morning. I was seen by an ophthalmologist the same day, and was told it was posterior vitreous detachment. Whew! I was also told it was “age related”. 🤬 🇨🇦
Very good information about our eyes there’s so much to learn.😊
i love your program very informative! i truly appreciate it!! please keep it coming. love to you both from sunny southern California
I had never heard of vitreous detachment so when I got the flashing i thought it was a migraine aura that was persistent. My neurologist office sent me to urgent care and they didn’t recognize it but when I called to schedule ophthalmology the scheduler knew what was happening. The ophthalmologist told me the other eye would do the same thing within the next year and unfortunately they were right. I wish I’d known what it was prior to having it happen so I appreciate the video!
My flashing started over the Christmas holiday and I had to wait 4 days to see a retina specialist. I wish I had known about vitreous detachment so I wouldn't have been so freaked out. I had black dots and jelly fish floating around too. Scary when you don't know what's going on!
👋It's the floater that looks like the roads map from Cando to Bismarck ND that is mind boggling.🤔👍
My floater is shaped like a boomerang. I have seen it, and it shows on the xray at my eye doctor's.
Hi from uk 🇬🇧The biggest of my several floaters is shaped like the ebola virus pictures.
LOL. I have those squiggles too, but I live in Michigan.
I'm 73. I had my cataracts removed, then in 4 years got a post cataract. Got laser surgery and the doctor said I have floaters but he does too. I mostly ignore them. I see him twice a year and am doing all right. I also have dry eyes, but with a Bruder mask and eye drops, am coping.
Great video, doctors 😊
Thank you for this!
I’ve had floaters, not so much anymore 🧐. I do have flashes and they are annoying! Thanks for this video. I did see a specialist who didn’t seem to know much about them.
Thank you, wish I watched this a few years ago. Great video that helps!
Great video I was just talking about this to my wife. Because I have a floater in one of my eyes. This chilled me out on the issue thank you Docs.
They're making a great series of videos
My aunt was visiting Mom in Hlx, from L'Ardoise (pronounced Lord's Ways), Cape Breton, had just seen a documentary on retina detachment, took mom to hospital as she was complaining about eye problem, it was Easter, they flew in the specialist from PEI. Doc arrived in his suit as he was on his way to church ⛪ when he was re-routed, must be 15 yrs ago, mom's 86 and all's good!
I have had floaters since I was 6 years old and I'm 70 now. When I first noticed them I imagined they were like parachutists descending. They haven't increased and I hardly notice them unless I am super bored.
Good job ! 🙏👍
I get the floaters and occasionally the flashes. I see my Opthalmologist yearly because I only have good vision in one eye and she likes to keep an eye on things to ensure no huge problems come up.
Thanks for your video
Thank you guys you guys are the greatest thank you
This is fantastic because I had a detail straight not and I had to have surgery the next day with a post op on the following day and I do have. Floaters and flashes but I don't I see my optimologists specialist that takes care of it for me. Thank you for this I really appreciate it. You have a great day and keep the videos coming.
Glad it helped you out!
Very important topic. I sincerely enjoyed the information. I am 68 years old. About two years ago I experienced this condition. While it is painless I was concerned. Being a diabetic I see an ophthalmologist 3 times a year. He examined my eyes and found I do not have a detached retina. I had flashes and floaters for about a year. My doctor monitors me and reassured me it would go away. It did go away and I have no other symptoms. I am grateful to my doctor for such good care. I enjoy you both and look forward to more videos. I especially appreciate the informative guests. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Those three stooges obviously never had flashes. They are definitely accompanied by pain and discomfort in the eyes, sinuses and even forehead bones. And as that little doc sarcastically said to find a fountain of youth, I got flashes and floaters in my early thirties when I certainly wasn't old. This is not an aging caused condition.
They can make new missiles and bombs but can't find a cure for a tiny problem like floaters
You're talking my language. Had flashers and floaters. Got it checked out. It was a good thing I did. I was referred to an eye surgeon that very day who repaired the retina.
I have a large floater! The Dr said nothing can be done.
I'm glad there is some part of the body that can't feel pain. That might be an interesting video, to go over what parts of the body don't feel pain, on the other hand, I think it could be a nightmare. Yeah, I'm just going to rush over to where the fountain of youth is and fix all my medical problems. On the other hand, maybe another interesting thing to think about is, if you could, would you go to a fountain of youth and be young again? I'm not sure I'd want to go through this again. Great video. Lots of good practical info. ❤
Great topic. Do one on “kaleidoscope eyes”
dear docs, watching your videos has a positive effect on my b.p., lowers my stress, and medical related anxiety - so thanks to you I´m tiptop, except for: I´m a 62 y/o bloke thinking about having a neck lift - when you have time could we have 10 minutes about that topic? thanks a million
Dr. Bindlish hit the nail on the head. I experienced as situation like sparkles in my eye a few years ago. It turned out to be a huge floater that drove me nuts for a few months until it broke up. I immediately went to my OD and he told me that it was common, but that if it ever happened, to get myself into my eye doc to have it checked out immediately because it could be a detached retina and if so, get myself to an OD asap.
I used to go every 6 months when I was first diagnosed with Diabetes. I moved it to once a year after awhile. Blood sugars is kept under pretty good control and no issues yet! Hopefully never. Have a good day 😊❤️🇨🇦
Thank you.
I have had floater for yrs now and get my eye checkups every yr dont miss no retinal detachment as i know of. Im sure my optometrist would have told me. Thanks docs once again yall r a hoot! Love u guys thanks!! ❤❤
When I was diagnosed with Central retinal vein occlusion of the left eye, I also found out I had high blood pressure. Yes, indeed, you are in charge of your own health.
Very helpful
Lower your sugars/carb intake. Add more proteins and foods with vitamin A.
Eat carrots and boiled eggs for snack.
good information
Good information, thank you! Had a retinal tear a year ago which manifested as sudden floaters. Retina specialist did cryopexy to repair. The floaters are here to stay unfortunately.
Aloe Vera is wonderful to treat it’s symptoms. 😊
Great advice,still waiting on a talk about ORAL LICHEN PLANUS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Docs. You might want to also comment on jagged circles that appear in an eye for several minutes. My ophthalmologist says these are indicative of a very mild migraine and are not harmful.
My floaters have been with me for 60+ years. So I don’t understand why they’re saying it’s part of aging.
Everyone is different. Obviously the age range when floaters begin can vary and unfortunately for you it was when you were young.
I've had mine for 50+ years. They're just there now.
Started getting them at 20
I’m 34 and I’ve had eye floaters for about 10 years
I really don’t notice them unless I’m really looking for them. I think some have even gotten smaller. Does anyone else have floaters in just one eye?
I’ve slapped my self silly thinking it was a bug! The floaters are still there, but I’m slapping myself less 😂
Oh no! Dilemma: lol, do I sell my shares of Fly Swatter Inc. or buy more because so many people are aging.
I had my floaters in one eye....and now it in the other eye 👁....these things really getting on my nerves...
Thanks for info, I get the floaters sometimes
Lions mane mushrooms- myth or fact that it helps with arthritis and inflammation? - great video on floaters, it is scary when it happens and important that it is addressed and not ignored 😊
Stress impacts on the floaters and flashes they are worse during periods of stress.
Thanks for this, Docs. I'm close to 60 and have experienced floaters for at least 20 years. I can instantly see them looking at a plain coloured wall etc. I have a game where I try to fix on one and follow it around. Damn critter always escapes. I've also has flashes a year ago when looking sharp left or right (keeping the head still), they've not repeated thankfully, yet. New to my list is a dry right eye, particularly noticeable when ready for bed and the first few minutes when waking up in the morning - it goes away during the day. Eye doc says "it's your age" and I told her "I'm hearing that more and more!". I'll not bore you with the rest of 'the list'. Getting old is 'fun'.
For about 9 months now I've had a large floater that is attached to my retina directly in my field of vision. My work is 100% on the computer and it's really become a struggle to read the monitor. I had a retinal scan at the optometrist and it confirmed the attachment to the retina but no signs of retinal damage. I was referred to ophthalmology but the soonest they could see me was summer 2025! I'm reassured by this video but it's also a bummer to hear that nothing can be done.
I've had several floaters in one eye since I was in my early twenties.
Did it start with flashing .mine did.
Thank you for the fantastic information! Can you do a segment on sodium? What does the latest science recommend for a performance athlete or a regular individual? Seems like the guidelines are being challenged lately.
I just went to the optometrist for this exact thing. I'm in my mid-50's so there you go. It is unsettling to all of the sudden see flashes and floaters.
I had my first flashing as I teen. I am now 59 and still get the flashings. Dr. Bindlish forgot to mention that headaches often occur during or after an episode of flashing, including migraines. I've also had my floaters since 16 years old. Fun, fun, :)
I had floaters, ended up in the hospital overnight because my eye Doc thought I was going to have a stroke! Ran all kinds of tests, I was fine!!!
Great new content. Guys could I ask you to get your eye specialist to work on some new videos about the subjects of CSR and management of partial and full depth macular holes ? Thanks 😊 EDIT Also , i have seen some recent studies which link the use of CCBs (common hypertension med) to greater likelihood of developing glaucoma. I wonder if your eye specialist has read about this ?
Great suggestion! We will discuss that for sure
I've had floaters since I was in my 30's. I've had them checked.
Hope it's ok
I have them often.I was told by a specialist that was silent migraines.
Hold it right there! I had cataract surgery in 2017 and a proliferation of floaters by 2018. I was referred to a retina care specialist in Or. because they don't do this procedure here in Ca. The first thing he found was a torn retina, and he laser sutured it right there in the chair. It had to heal for a month(?) and I scheduled an app. to return for a vitrectomy, a procedure to suction out the vitreous and replace it with saline. I'm 72 and weld almost daily. Any opthalmologist should have this information, perhaps a brochure. Very short out-patient surgery, one eye at a time like the cataracts. Thanks Docs.
I had early cataracts as a result of prednisone therapy for a different problem. Over the years my floaters got so bad they caused problems daily. I’ve also had victrectomy on both eyes, a couple of years apart, and what a relief that was.
Thanks for your experience with vitrectomy. I’m 69, recently had cataracts removed and, as the doc warned me, I now see my many and large floaters more frequently. I may be looking to that procedure in the future
@@judydoyle1124 You're welcome, good luck.
@@debhinkle4413what was the recovery like from vitrectomy? Do you still have to lie flat after for extended period of time? I was recommended to have it years ago but when told about extended immobilization turned it down.
@@loriconover374 you know, I’m trying to remember back when I had the procedures. the right eye was 2008 and the left eye was 2015. I know both were outpatient surgery but I do not remember having to lay flat for an extended period of time. I remember having to keep the eye protected and covered and the many eye drops but nothing that would keep me from doing it again if need be. Just the relief of having clear sight again was worth it all.
Interesting that our wonderful Canadian Health Department changed senior examination from 1 year to 18 months last year, and this Dr. advises once a year. Once again, you are responsible for your own health.
Got a question non-related to this topic. This is regarding vascular disease. A few weeks ago I had to have an Angioplasty done for right ilio femoral artery. In 2019 I had surgery done, right ilio femoral bypass graft done. The Angioplasty was done just above the graft and a stent was also placed. I had a horrible time trying to understand all the procedure. My surgeon went in through the left elbow to the right iliac artery. What I was scared of and not understanding was how can they get there from the left elbow? I thought that he’d have to go through the heart itself. That freaked me out. I cannot find any written or RUclips videos to explain it. Everything I found went from either the wrist or elbow to the heart to place the stent. Something I didn’t expect during the procedure was that when the balloon was expanded, it actually hurt. Pain meds helped. Otherwise never felt a thing. Surgeon is hoping that this will help with cutting down pain in right calf as blockage in femoral artery is about 75% or so. I must say that so far feet are a bit warmer. Let’s hope I don’t have to go through major surgery. Thanks very much for info you always give us and I really hope one of your colleagues can explain this procedure to help others. 😊
Nothing is more vexing than trying to meditate with floaters bouncing back and forth across closed eyelids. I’m glad Dr. Bindlish explained how it’s all just a part of normal aging. And I’m impressed that he didn’t rub his watch once. He is a fast learner!
Would Lutien supplement help? Thank you for the info! ❤️🙏💐
Probably not but it’s good for other things
I have both
I have PVD both eyes. Partial Vitreous Detachment.
I’m 63 and started seeing blue lights about 4 years ago they look like burgler alarm warning lights while driving around at night but are not as they aren’t there with a second look.
I cured my floaters by eating a medium raw carrot per day. The floaters were so bad at one stage, it was really annoying. Anyway, I was looking around youtube and came across a nutrition channel, and there was a segment about floaters and the recommendation of eating a medium raw carrot a day. I was at the stage where I had to try anything, so I did, and to my surprise, it actually worked. My floaters disappeared and when I do stop eating the raw carrot, the floaters do come back. I told a friend about it and she tried it and it worked for her also.
Carrot and pineapple is good for eye floaters.
Thanks for that tip. I always wonder when we’re told to just accept it and no solution. I will use the carrots more regularly now too, I had also heard it eliminates floaters and did notice it seems to help . Someone once said look at the foods that help us, if you look at a slice of carrot, it looks like an eye and other things like a half of walnut piece looks like a brain and sure enough, it has healthy fats good for our brain. Heard pineapple is also good for eliminating floaters but it supposed to be the nutrients in the core more than the pineapple meat but both probably effective.
@@joycedagostino6074 I also noticed that since I have been doing intermittent fasting (18/6), that seems to have helped too.
I'm 65 and I had one in each eye. The first one happened a few years ago and I'd call that one an "unfriendly" detachment that I induced by hitting my head. The other was a "friendly" one that happened naturally when I was sitting on the couch. The first time I has a lot of flashes and a great deal of floaters, some of which was blood, and the infamous weiss ring floater. The more recent one occurred just a few weeks ago, involved a minor circular flash from 9 to 12 o'clock for just a few minutes. Just a couple of floaters including the weiss ring. I knew what it was so I did not panic. Both times my eye Dr. got me in the next day. Most Drs. take it very seriously until they rule out a retina tear. Light duty for a few weeks after. I'm told that catarac surgery will make floaters more noticeable.
I have floaters twice where I knew there was a strong likelihood of something more serious. Both times there were retinal detachments starting.. The first tome the doctor could not detect anything, but out of caution, had someone else take a look who was able to pick up on it.
Legally blind in one eye I could still see it even saw a specialist who confirmed it would eventually descend, it did, yrs later and thank goodness!
Im 41 and have had floaters for 20 years...theyre annoying but ya just get used to them.
I just started getting flashes a few months ago and have been to the ophthalmologist already. You have given sound advice but let me just emphasize that I am one cheap bastard but that eye checkup was the best healthcare money I've spent this last year (sorry, you all are Canadian, I'm American, everything healthcare related here is f'ing expensive).
Edit: It's one thing to have a YT video say "it's normal", it's entirely different to have a doctor do all the tests and say "yes, your case is pretty typical for your age, don't worry about it"
Government health insurance doesn’t cover eye doctor appointments unless your below a set age or above a set ago.
If your on a provisional disability it is mostly if at all is only covered is you have a health condition that affects the eyes other wise it’s not and you pay for it.
Government health insurance covers family doctors visits, hospital visits, a lot of tests but not all, and specialists but you wait a long time to see them.
It is nowhere near what a lot of people think. If you need an ambulance to the hospital you pay, you need crutches you pay or rent, again some tests you pay -some bloodwork for genetic tests, allergies, some gluten intolerance test and Morse I don’t know of.
You have to have some form of health insurance to cover some it not all of medications, dental, eye doctor, counseling, and more.
Google it pick a province and check what is covered on their Heal Insurance Plan.
@@kandymich4861in Canada there are some other cases where eye care is covered, or partly covered, where eye disease already exists or visually correction is at the extremes.
This still doesn't help with getting timely care, unless the patient is already under the care of an ophthalmologists (and one that has not already gone into retirement). In Canada this means the best options for most is to head to a Hospital's Emergency (where an affiliated Eye Care Teaching Hospital will lead to the fastest assessment).
@@weldonyoung1013 I know I said that, that would be the “health condition that affects the eyes”
@@kandymich4861 sorry, my mistake.
@@weldonyoung1013 it’s ok, I wrote it unusually odd
Have floaters and they bother me mostly when I am sunlight. I put my sunglasses on and it helps.
That’s good to hear !
I have floaters and a small round ball trickling down on perimeter of my right eye. I have my eyes checked yearly.
I have had floaters since I was 28 years old and the flashers started in my 40s
I have them as well
My ophthalmologist recommended me to use eye drops to ease dryness - it works. Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops.
Right eye checkup do
I had a very bad cough..and now I have a floater in one eye that looks like a small upside down heart..sometimes when I do my dishes..I swat at what I think is a fly but it's just the floater lol..doesn't hurt but just annoying..
I get my eyes checked once a year..I have diabetes..I'm 70..and I only need reading glasses ..❤❤
My husband has only one eye with significant floaters. A couple Retinologists have talked about doing a Vitrectomy to pull out the vitreous but he hasn’t pursued it due to the very small chance there could be an issue causing him to go blind. So there is an option but only in extreme cases.
