Do any supplements help prevent or reduce eye floaters?

When we decide to go with a mainly whole food, and plant based diet, one of the unexpected benefits was an end to floaters.

I along with 5 of my friends have taken Bluebonnet's Eye Antioxidant formula for several years. It has elminated floaters for each of us. If we run out we get them back. I know does not meet the qualifications of a scientific study but it really works. Mostly we only take 1 capsule a day rather than the 2 recommended.

I have been using a product called Vitalzym by World Nutrition to assist with scar tissue problems. Since I've been on it, all floaters disappeared and have not returned. I am on a permanent routine of two soft gels a day. Update August 2019: I now use one capsule per day of VitalzymXe, taken on an empty stomach (usually when I get up during the night), I continue to feel no tension in my surgery areas and have no floaters.

I have been getting a series of 3 MiBoFlo flow (heat) treatments for dry eye in the winter for the past 3 years and also use a Bruder mask (moist heat) over my eyes daily. I have had floaters for many years but they have gotten more persistent and bothersome over the past few months. I wonder whether these heat treatments applied over the eyes for dry eye could be contributing to worsened floaters. Is there any evidence of this and have others experienced this?

Two subjects do not a study make, but both myself and a neighbor have recently had cataract surgery and our floaters disappeared after that. Who knows why.

Based on my personal experience, hydrolyzed collagen has eliminated my floaters and my dry eye problem.

Curious if any supplements cause an increase in floaters??

the procedure was pioneered by a Dr. at the eye institute in Birmingham Al., University of Alabama. The procedure was done in about 10-15 minutes using Versed - so not totally under - kind of dream like. No pain whatsoever. Patch off the next day and drops for a week I think. It's been about 12 years ago. I am still floater free. They were so bad I had lost ability to focus on reading...not good as I am investment advisor.

Hope that helps

There is a simple surgical procedure that totally eliminates floaters. I have had it. 100% effective. Took about 10 min and one day with patch.

There are no studies, you say, to support this, but now that you mention it, I realize that floaters are no longer as bothersome as they once were before I regularly took collagen gelatin protein. I use both Bulletproof and Great Lakes (and have no financial interest in either. Wish I did!).

L-Carnosine has totally eliminated the floaters in my eyes. My granddaughter, who has a genetic anomaly called Lattice which creates floaters, takes L-carnosine and it has eliminated her floaters. Another friend who was scheduled for cataract surgery started taking L-carnosine and he was able to cancel his surgery. These are just a few people, but it is worth a try to take it. The eye has the highest amount of L-carnosine and it is an antioxidant. So it can help in many respects.
