I've searched online all over the place for treating floaters in the eyes without going through surgery, anybody have any advice as to getting rid of them (home remedies, supplements, etc.)? Thanks!

I dont think there's a way, doctors just tell you to live with them. Just learn to ignore them.. I had them since i was like 6.. :/

What are eye floaters? Do they affect your sight?

[thenguyenstr]

Eye floaters are a common thing that happens to every body, the floaters are shreddings from your rods and cones of the eyes. There just shredding for a new layer to appear. The floaters will go away by themselves. Don't worry no harm.

yea i heard they go away with time but that's not always the case for some...

Anyone have advice on getting rid of them?

Oh, I saw this in an episode of House once. The little boy had to undergo surgery though. Sorry, I'm no help.

I have that like every two seconds of my life.
very annoying. o_o

[little mixed girl]

i feel like i get them more when i stare at the computer for a long time (like 5hrs).

you are talking about the things that move into your line of sight, right?
like you look to the right, and they move to the right with your eye. ??

Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye.

Causes for Eye Floaters&Spots
• are nearsighted
• have undergone cataract surgery
• have had YAG laser surgery of the eye
• have had inflammation inside the eye

Treatment for Floaters&Spots
Most spots and floaters in the eye are harmless and merely annoying. Many will fade over time and become less bothersome. People sometimes are interested in surgery to remove floaters, but doctors are willing to perform such surgery only in rare instances.

However, the sudden appearance of a significant number of floaters, especially if they are accompanied by flashes of light or other vision disturbances, could indicate a retinal detachment or other serious problem in the eye. If you suddenly see new floaters, visit your eye doctor immediately
