Eye Floaters

Short-sightedness is an increasingly common eye condition in the modern population. In of itself, it is easily reversible with corrective lenses and surgeries. However, several severe eye conditions are correlated with myopia, and if you've ever suffered from floaters, you might have wondered if they fall into this myopia-associated category. In this article, we've examined the latest peer-reviewed scientific journals to see if there's any association between short-sightedness and floaters, as well as any changes you can make that might lower the impact of both.

Floaters are a common nuisance, and for some they can become debilitating. Yet, there is a lack of available treatments for floaters which are effective and without side effects. We'll look at the approaches already available and why many people avoid them, as well as how science is developing new approaches which avoid the harmful side effects. We'll also examine the research on nutrients which target floaters, potentially removing the need for surgery. Table of Contents Introduction What are eye floaters? What current treatments exist?
