Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 About 6 months before I went into a hyperthyroid crisis and was hospitalized, I developed a floater in my eye which blurs my vision and I must continually move my eye to keep it out of my line of vision. I asked my doctor, who sent me to a specialist, who told me there was no connection. He said it was due to the natural aging of the eye. I feel as you do, however, that this is very directly related. I have had small floaties all my life but this one refuses to go away. It has been almost three years and is very annoying. If you hear of any research having been done or presently being done, please let me know. I want to present it to my doctor for his evaluation and if it is viable, I want it done! thank you Floaters >Does anyone have any info about floaters?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Mona, I personally don't know of a way. But there's a homeopathic college in Del Mar, it's California Naturopathic College, 800-354-8166. You might check in with them. Good luck! Lynn Floaters Does anyone have any info about floaters? Someone emailed me once about how protein-binding can possibly cause this problem. After extensive research I have not found any reference to the ATDs causing this problem. The floaters got considerably worse several months after I was diagnosed in 1996. Is there any natural way to prevent further problems? I undetstand there is not an easy surgical procedure to correct this problem. I'm looking for a homeopathic path - any advice/guidance/info is greatly appreciated...thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DON'T HATE YOUR RATE!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 This is some info I have found about floaters. No Candida connnection is mentioned here. Any ideas? Floaters Myths: Nothing can be done about floaters. Facts: There may be treatment and prevention through proper diet and supplements. Overview: Floaters are an appropriate name for these small dark shapes that appear before your eyes, because float through your field of vision is precisely what they do. They are clumps of protein. These spots may look like dots, squiggles, strands or any of a hundred other shapes. Though annoying, floaters are harmless, and there are ways to prevent them through proper diet. Warning: If you suddenly become aware of new spots in our vision, see your eye doctor right away to rule out serious problems. Symptoms: * Little dots or dust floating around your eye Causes: Most floaters are the result of bits of cells that remain in the vitreous humor after birth and float around when the vitreous becomes more liquified later in life. Over 50% of people over 70 years of age report seeing floaters. Most floaters are age-related. The vitreous humour thickens and clumps as we age, and floaters result from the clumped vitreous gel. Other spots can be caused by little bits of protein trapped within the eye during pregnancy. Trauma to the eye or breakdown of the vitreous humour may also cause spots and floaters. Many floaters remain in the eye for long periods of time before they gradually disappear. Floaters are commonly found in nearsighted people and people with food allergies and candidiasis. Vitreous detachment is also common in diabetics, but the highest rate of complaints of floaters is in people over the age of 70. This is when the prevalence of a vitreous detachment jumps from 10% of the population to 63%. From a Chinese Medicine perspective, floaters are an indication of congestion in the liver, kidney and colon. The herbs and nutrients we recommend below are chosen for their abilities to eliminate congestion in these organs in order to keep the vitreous of the eye clear from these annoying specks, as well as to help strengthen the retinal tissue and integrity of the blood vessels. Finally, we believe chronic stress in one's life may also play a role in the generation of floaters, so having a daily routine of relaxation and meditation is very important. IMPORTANT NOTE: A sudden increase of floaters can be an indication of a vitreous or retinal detachment. People who are very nearsighted and/or diabetic are particularly prone to floaters and retinal tears. If you suddenly new floaters, make an appointment with your eye doctor immediately.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Laurel, Cheney aimed a small flashlight in my eyes and said I had some speckling on my irises. He said that was caused by mercury. Not that my condition was caused by mercury but that because my body wasn't detoxifying properly the mercury was going to my brain and I assume optic nerve or eyes. Steve B.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I have floaters, but no diabetes and no retinopathy as of my last exam two months ago. I was under the impression it was a part of CFS, although I know of people with FMS that have them also.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Laurel asked: Does anyone here have floaters/spots in their eyes as a result of their CFS. Annette's reply; Hi Laurel, I have acute onset viral-like ME. Floaters were pretty steady during the first 10 years or so of this illness. For the last 8 years or so they appear in the mornings sometimes and are a pretty good indication that my health (never good)is about to plummet quickly. ____________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 Hi, That's a good question. I've asked two doctors about this and they both said there is nothing to be done,that eventually the eye gets used to them being there and we don't notice it anymore. So far, it's true.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Dr. Schulzes eyewash will eliminate floaters (and cataracts, and pretty much any other eye problem). It may take longer for some than others, but you will notice the gradual diminution after a couple of weeks time. The only thing is, you must use it consistently. they will not go away with just a few washings. This eyewash really makes the eyes feel great, too! > Re: Floaters > > Hi, > That's a good question.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Hi, Yes, I did. It was normal. I suddenly had a " light show " in one of my eyes. Very scary. My optometrist saw me immediately. She explained about the particles becoming disloged and becoming floaters. The main concern was the potential of a detached retina, I believe. I was told to head for the hospital if it continued. I was on alert for a few days, but all is well. I'm sure the floaters are still there, but I'm not conscious of them anymore unless I'm extremely fatigued. I can't imagine how eye drops would impact on them. Once the particles break away, it's a done deal.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Hi Vilik Haven't corresponded with you for a long time but still do read all your interesting posts. Floaters is not a torn retina. A torn retina can cause floaters. This is usually the first thing the ole Doc checks. Next is excessive eye pressure. Lowering the eye pressure usually alleviates the condition and sometimes even eliminates it for awhile. Eye drops are used to lower eye pressure which is similar to the treatment for glucoma.This is not a cure. My medical sources say they do not know what causes floaters, it is not limited to seniors and do not usually self correct.And yes, they sometimes just go away. But no one knows why. However, if your information is correct it would be just wonderful. I've had them for 10 years. BTW,have you seen lighting flashes yet? Also IMHO none of this accupunture, tai chi, qi gong will help. wONG In a message dated Wed, 7 Nov 2001 12:58:32 AM Eastern Standard Time, Vilik Rapheles writes: > Wong wrote: > > There is no known medical evidence that floaters can be eliminated, > which would mean cured.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Hi Vilik Haven't corresponded with you for a long time but still do read all your interesting posts. Floaters is not a torn retina. A torn retina can cause floaters. This is usually the first thing the ole Doc checks. Next is excessive eye pressure. Lowering the eye pressure usually alleviates the condition and sometimes even eliminates it for awhile. Eye drops are used to lower eye pressure which is similar to the treatment for glucoma.This is not a cure. My medical sources say they do not know what causes floaters, it is not limited to seniors and do not usually self correct.And yes, they sometimes just go away. But no one knows why. However, if your information is correct it would be just wonderful. I've had them for 10 years. BTW,have you seen lighting flashes yet? Also IMHO none of this accupunture, tai chi, qi gong will help. wONG In a message dated Wed, 7 Nov 2001 12:58:32 AM Eastern Standard Time, Vilik Rapheles writes: > Wong wrote: > > There is no known medical evidence that floaters can be eliminated, > which would mean cured.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Sandy I can imagine what you experienced. The first time I saw mine was like a fire work display. My friend has gotten so bad he quit driving. He's had 'em for about 15 years. My wife recently saw bright flashes and I see lightning besides the usual dots. Apparently high eye pressure had something to do with her situation. When the pressure was brought down to near normal,the flashes disappeared,although occasionally she sees spots. The eye drops, in her case, were used to lower the pressure but since you're o.k. in that respect it would be of no use to you.
