Can you really 'address' annoying eye floaters with a supplement?

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, June 29, 2023

They are known as floaters or, more formally, muscae volitantes – Latin for flying flies.

Key Points: 
  • They are known as floaters or, more formally, muscae volitantes – Latin for flying flies.
  • A recent article in the Mirror, Eye floaters: What causes them and how to get rid of them naturally, claims to have a solution.
  • Despite the promise in the headline, Dr Brewer does not talk about getting rid of floaters.
  • With age, the vitreous – a clear, gel-like substance inside the eye – starts to thicken and shrink.
  • With age, it’s normal for the vitreous to pull away from the back of the eye, a process called posterior vitreous detachment, and this causes more floaters.

What about other solutions?

    • But this surgery poses risks to a person’s vision far more significant than the floaters themselves.
    • Zapping floaters with a laser (known as a YAG laser) is another option, but not all experts agree that this is safe.
    • But while slowing ageing in the eye would be great, it’s not proof that it will stop people from getting floaters.
    • You’re more likely to get floaters if you are shortsighted, had cataract surgery, or if you’ve had eye inflammation (swelling).

The verdict

    • Can supplements and lifestyle changes slow the ageing process in the eye, delaying the onset of these age-related floaters?
    • Dr Brewer makes excellent recommendations about nutritious food, hydration and sleep – all great ways to maintain your health.
