    I have suffered from eye floaters for the last 30 years. For the last five years it got worse and even if it´s not dangerous it can be really annoying. One year ago I started with intermittent fasting mixed with longer periods (3-4 days) of water fasting and now my floaters are are almost completely gone :) When your body enters the state of autophagy it actually starts repairing itself, incredible.

    I just want to share my experience with others, in my case I started to see a lot of floters at once, I guess it is because I use a lot the confocal microscope. I went to the Dr. He said that my retina is fine as well as my vitrous, which is fine because when I was a kid I lost my left vision because of an accident. I started to eat 300 grams of pineapple every day in the morning before breakfast, and after four weeks I noticed that 60% of the floters are gone thanks to God. I am Christian soy I believe in miracles as well, then when I went to visit the Dr. He was surprised that my vistreous is quite clear now. ❤❤

    I was diagnosed with PVD three weeks ago. I have a ring floater. Started taking 500 mg of Bromelain once a day and I would say the floater is half way gone. It’s no longer that noticeable! I had a hard time reading the first week. Incidentally, I learned that Bromelain could help before seeing the eye doctor, so I asked her if there was any supplements that could help with this and she said no, there’s not. Glad I’m a DIY kind of guy and saw your video.

    For everyone who has eye floaters and are currently in panic: keep on reading.
    I first encountered floaters when I was about 19 but somehow they moved out of my field of vision, then at 27 I suddenly had a bunch of them. At that time I also had bad anxiety, stress etc and I couldn’t stop looking for the floaters that it became a daily obsession. But: I overcame it. It WILL get better! Try to find the core of where the anxiety comes from, maybe with a little more help like therapy or someone you trust to talk to. Strangely, I still have floaters but I barely notice them because I’m not scared of them anymore. The mind can be a powerful ally or your biggest enemy. If I can do it, you can do it too!

    I got my 1st floater at age 12 and the eye doctor explained what it was and assured me that by the time I was in my 50's it would settle out of my line of vision and I would no longer see it. Well, over the years I developed more of them in both eyes and now, at 65 I have about 6 in my left eye and 3 in my right making it hard to see as I have to wait for them to float by when trying to look at something close. (Each one is surrounded by a border that is opaque.) I will try the Bromelain to see if that helps so, thank you. I have always wondered why there is not a treatment where the eye fluid is pumped out and sent through a filter then back into the eye (sort of like dialysis) to eliminate these things? It seems to me this type of procedure would not be hard to do and would be very effective but then, of course, I am not a Doctor so I really have no idea. Thank you for the info about Bromelain, I will look around for some supplements and see if that has any positive effects.

    That would be interesting, since I have eye floaters for more than 55 years and I always thought I was the only one having trouble with that. I love pineapple (or ananas as it is known over here) and I still have eye floaters. Especially in summer it's worst, since the abundance of light makes them easily visible. You're talking about people with 1, 2 or 3 floaters? I have many more.
    By the way I recently visited an eye doctor and she said that we're seeing the shadow of the floaters, not the floaters themselves. I never knew that. Sometimes when you're looking into the far at night and towards a light in the distance and you squint your eyes you can see the form of the floaters quite clear. So I'm wondering if they are part see through.
    Oh question: does it need to be fresh pineapple or can it also be pineapple in those little cans?

    Wow great explanation and fascinating information. I have had floaters for several years but I am young and it happened when I was a hair stylist and a bottle containing just mixed hair color in a syringe type bottle with almost a hydraulic mechanism that suddenly exploded and the color went in my eyes. I promptly rinsed it but my eyes got irritated and sticky after and I got antibiotic eye drops to treat it. It worked great but after several days floaters appeared. It is not clear whether they are just ordinary floaters or possible corneal scarring from the trauma. Would bromelain still work for something like that ?

    I went to the hospital and they checked it out, the retina was not detached and the specialist said that the floaters would settle down eventually. I am 57 years old could this be something to do with the virus I had or the cough I have or is it just because I am old?

      But it will cause vitreous synergy and there will be fluid movement all over the eyes. It will seem like you are looking through a clear tape or cellophane and floaters swimming everywhere. I wish there are research on how to thicken the vitreous humor because i am 31 and currently experiencing this. @@DrRupaWong

      Thanks so much for this video. Interestingly, pineapple has been in my daily morning diet. So I have noticed floaters for the past week but they are not only clear, they are also black dots and some seem attached to small pieces of tissue, all manly concentrated on the left side of my eye. Why so many black dots?

    Great post, thank you. I will try it (with organic pineapple ...if I can find it). Concerned with the genetic modification of pineapple (and most other natural food crops). Big ag/pharma are taking out whats good and trying to put in things to make you sick. (BT in many fruits and veggies... gives gut issues, HIV put into corn). Also, pineapple is heavily sprayed with pesticides. Are you allergic to the pineapple or the pesticides? Lastly, does the bromeline breakdown collegen in joints ... and GIVE joint pain? I suppose like everything there is a happy balance. Thanks again.

    @johanneshalberstadt3663 Год назад

    I have another question regarding this topic: Not ony do we not know if any Bromelain gets to the eye, but does it end up in your blood and metabolism at all? Does it even get resorbed by the gut? Enzymes are proteines and large proteins get broken down into peptides and aminoacids by the proteases in the stomach and denatured by the stomach acids. Which is a problem with many oral supplements snd medicatuons, right? So: is there any reason to believe, that any Bromelain stays intact and gets into your cells by just eating pineapple? I don't find it plausible.
    Also, als ypu said: we need collagen in so many tissues all throughout the body. Wouldn't a medication that just breaks down collagen also do a great deal of harm and wouldnt it be indifferent to where it breaks down the collagen? How and why would it go specifically to the eye (and attack specifically the floaters there) and not everwhere else?
    To me this research seems like whishful, magical thinking after just hearing two pieces ofninformatiin without knowing the conplexities around it.
