Another way to deal with floaters blurred vision

You noticed lately that there seems to be some dark spots or shadowy shapes that appear in your line of vision especially when you look at something bright or against the sunlight. They float around your vision but when your eyes stop moving, they disappear. Sometimes they seem to settle below the eye and linger there. Actually, what you are experiencing is what is called as floaters.

At first, floaters maybe few and you can ignore them or you learn to live with them. But later on, they may become numerous and bother you eventually. Worse could happen when there is vision loss. How does this happen?

Our eyes has a gel-like substance that makes the eye maintain a round shape. This is called the vitreous which is normally about 80% of the eye. As we age, these can shrink and become stringy and the strands cast tiny shadows in the retina giving that floating impression. Of course, aside from age, there are other causes of floaters such as diabetes, infection, injury to the eyes, cataracts surgery, inflammation and retinal tears.

Floaters are caused by clumps of proteins in the gel, as it breaks down, that settle. When light passes through the eye and hits the clump, it is perceived as spots. While there is no pain or other side effects from this condition, a check up with your eye doctor is recommended. This is to be sure that the retina (at the back of the eye) has not torn. For those who are a bit young, floaters are generally particles in the fluid of the eye. When light passes into the eyes, floaters are seen.

Usually, floaters are just ignored. But if there are so many of them that they interfere with vision, some would agree to undergo surgical procedure that removes floaters from the vitreous. A vitrectomy removes the vitreous gel, along with its floating debris, from the eye. The vitreous is replaced with a salt solution. Because the vitreous is mostly water, you will not notice any change between the salt solution and the original vitreous. This operation carries significant risks to sight because of possible complications, which include retinal detachment, retinal tears, and cataract. Most eye surgeons are reluctant to recommend this surgery unless the floaters seriously interfere with vision.

If you happen to have floaters that are already dense and yet you are reluctant to undergo surgery, you may try Bright Eyes drops. There are claims that it helps reduce floaters especially if the floaters is primarily attributed to age. How does this happen?

Bright Eyes Drops contain a naturally occurring compound. This is called N-acetyl-Carnosine or NAC. In the L-Carnosine form it is better known as Ignotine which can be taken as an oral supplement to address a number of health issues. NAC is a very powerful antioxidant and anti-glycating agent. The levels of this compound in the body decrease with age. When applying the NAC drops to the eyes, it is adding it back to the body. Cellular senescence or biological aging is slowed and even reversed. Bright Eyes Drops also protect the eye from light and further free-radical damage. Another advantage is that it is 100% hypoallergenic.
