Natural Eye Floater Cures - My Journey...

Floaters are basically little blobs of protein that float through the hollow sphere which is filled with a thick, gel like fluid known as the vitreous humor. They are formed in many different ways, for example, bits of protein that are left behind in the eye during the processes of embryonic development. However, most floaters are formed through the processes of aging. Floaters can also be caused by the detachment of the vitreous humor from the retina.

In my personal case, I did not suffer from a detached retina. Eye floaters were something that I began to notice in my early 30's and they continued to get worse until they were unbearable just a few years later.

Although a lot of people will tell you that surgery is the only viable option for curing eye floaters,I wasn't about to trust my eyes to the surgeon's knife (or laser). I don't know what it was, but the thought of surgical procedures, especially on my eyeballs, never appealed to me. So, instead of opting for the surgery route I started doing some research online about natural methods that I could use to cure my eye floaters. In my view, this was the only option for me.

And I was really motivated to find a cure as quickly as possible as I have been suffering from my eye floaters for some time and it was causing me a lot of anxiety and was becoming quite depressing.

Let me say first of all that if you are experiencing any pain or flashes of light, you should see your doctor right away this could be a sign of a serious eye condition which should be treated immediately. However, if your eye floaters are not causing any pain, then read on.

As I began my research for an eye floaters cure, I noticed that one theme kept coming up time and time again - nutrition. What I learned is that proper nutrition can not only prevent new eye floaters from being formed by can decrease their appearance as well.

While there is no proven way (as of yet) to stop the formation of eye floaters, there are many ways to strengthen your eyes that will help to prevent the formation of new floaters and will also promote the eyes natural healing process which, in turn, will reduce the appearance of eye floaters.

The first way to strengthen your eyes is through good nutrition. In particular, you should eat as many water and vitamin rich vegetables as possible. Although "eat your vegetables" sounds like a cliché, it really is one of the best pieces of advice when it comes to treating eye floaters. Eat lots of vegetables which are rich in vitamins A, C and D. Spinach, sweet potatoes and carrots are particularly good choices. In addition, you should consider taking daily supplements to get additional doses of those vitamins in your diet.

Also, consider drinking a glass of red wine each day. Not only has red wine been shown to be a good for your heart but, in moderation, it is excellent for your eyes as well.

In addition to vegetables and the odd glass of wine, keep your consumption of fats (particularly saturated and trans fats) as low as possible. While a little bit of fat is a good thing, excess fat is not only bad for your body in general but particularly hard on your circulatory system and, in turn, on your vision. Instead of red meat which tends to be higher in fat, consider eating lean meats like fish and chicken.

In summary, a low-fat diet which is high in lean proteins and nutrient rich vegetables is an excellent start to curing your eye floaters naturally.

Next, we'll talk about exercise and how that can help you eliminate your eye floaters as well...

After changing my diet to a much healthier one, I noticed some improvement in my eye floaters but what really put me over the top was changing my level of physical activity.

In my younger years, I had always been quite athletic and played a lot of sports. However as I got a little older my level of physical activity decreased to the point where my lifestyle had become very sedentary. Eventually, it got to the point where just going up a flight of stairs would have me completely out of breath. Although I had never made the connection between my lack of fitness and my eye floaters, the more research I did, the more i noticed a common theme - eye floater sufferers were often out of shape and in poor health. I also noticed that several people in discussion forums reported that increasing their physical activity had really helped.

Armed with this information, I embarked on my own plan to increase my fitness. I started off with some moderate exercises like walking on the treadmill and doing some light weights and eventually increased my activity to the point where I was running for about 20 to 30 minutes three times a week.

Right away, I noticed results. Coupled with proper nutrition, exercise really enhanced my overall health and reduced the appearance of my eye floaters. I can't fully explain the physiology behind it but the overall improvement in my cardiovascular well-being made a huge difference. Instead of constantly suffering from eye floaters, they were reduced to an occasional nuisance.

The last thing that finally helped me conquer my eye floaters once and for all was the addition of a few key herbal supplements. I learned about these in an eye floater cure ebook that I came across when researching nutrition and how it can have an impact.

A couple of them worked extremely well for me personally and I've heard a lot of other people say that they have had similar results using some of the other herbal remedies described in the book. I won't talk about all of the herbal remedies here but these are the ones that I tried and the results were impressive:

Blueberry:

Blueberry extract is a natural herbal solution that is used for numerous applications and has been found to be particularly helpful in preventing and treating eye floaters by increasing the supply of nutrients to the retina. Blueberry extract also works to reduce the degrading of the vitreous humor and strengthens the tissue underlying the retina which helps the eye to heal and also prevents tears in the retina which can be caused by eye floaters.

Milk Thistle:

The second herbal remedy that really worked for me was milk thistle. Like blueberries, Milk thistle contain high levels of antioxidants which help regenerate new cells within the eyes and promote healing of the vitreous humor, restoring its original gel - like consistency. this prevents the eye floaters from moving around as much so that they become much less noticeable. With the amount of movement decreased, your brain is much more easily able to filter out the eye floaters.

I found that within a couple of weeks after I started supplementing my diet with large quantities of blueberries and milk thistle, the appearance of my eye floaters decreased to the point where they were no longer noticeable.

As I mentioned, there are a lot of other herbal remedies that many people have reported great success with, but these were the two that I tried and they worked great for me.

In summary, I have had great success in treating my floaters by making a few simple modifications to my lifestyle and introducing a couple of dietary changes and key supplements. If you've been suffering from eye floaters too, all I can say is don't give up! Although it took a lot of research, I was able to discover a few key secrets to getting my eye floaters under control and I know from my own experience and from talking to other sufferers that you can do it too! I really hope that my story can inspire you and help you along in your journey towards a cure.
