Floaters appear before the eyes as either transparent or opaque, black objects—it's a matter of severity, generally not affecting vision. Floaters can be classified as physiological or pathological. Physiological floaters generally require only rest, reducing close-up tasks, and avoiding eye fatigue. Treatments can include using Ametiodine eye drops and Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops. If the floaters are pathological, one should visit an ophthalmologist for examinations such as an ultrasound (B-scan), intraocular pressure test, uncorrected visual acuity, corrected visual acuity, and fundus photography. Active treatment and regular follow-ups should be pursued, with close attention to vision changes. (Please use medication under medical supervision.)

Can people with floaters drink alcohol?

Floaters refer to vitreous opacities, which can be classified into physiological vitreous opacities and pathological vitreous opacities. Physiological vitreous opacities generally do not affect vision. Their main symptom is that objects floating in front of the eyes become more noticeable in bright light and less visible in darker environments or at night. Drinking alcohol does not affect physiological vitreous opacities. However, pathological vitreous opacities do affect vision and require active treatment and examination to alleviate their impact on vision. For pathological vitreous opacities, it is generally advised not to consume alcohol, to follow a light diet, to rest adequately, and to undergo regular check-ups.

Is it effective to use glasses for floaters?

Floater syndrome generally does not require glasses, and wearing glasses has no effect. Although floater syndrome involves the refractive media, it does not cause changes in vision. Changes in vision are mainly due to the curvature of the cornea, the condition of the lens, the length of the eye axis, and retinal diseases. Floater syndrome can be physiological or pathological. Physiological floaters generally do not affect vision; simply taking rest, reducing close-up tasks, or using some peptide eye drops can completely improve the condition. If it is pathological floater syndrome, one should visit the ophthalmology department for further examination and active treatment.

How to maintain health with floaters normally.

Floating specks is a common ophthalmic disease, caused by vitreous opacities. It frequently occurs in patients with high myopia and the middle-aged and elderly, typically due to aging factors that lead to the formation of dot-like or thread-like turbid substances in the originally transparent vitreous tissue. When light passes through the vitreous body and is refracted, projecting onto the retina, it casts these shadows onto the retina as well, causing patients to see floating speck-like shadows in their field of vision. Patients with floating specks should take the following measures for care: First, maintain eye hygiene, do not rub your eyes; rubbing does not alleviate floating specks and may increase the risk of eye infections. Second, eat more iodine-rich foods, such as kelp, to promote the absorption of vitreous opacities.

What will happen if the floater condition becomes severe?

Floater, also called vitreous opacity, can affect vision if it is severe. Vitreous opacity can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological vitreous opacities, generally referred to as floaters, do not affect vision. They are more visible in bright light and less visible in dim light or at night. Treatment primarily involves rest, proper eye usage, and the appropriate use of Amiodine eye drops, with regular check-ups recommended. If vision is affected, further examination in an ophthalmology department is advised, including checks of intraocular pressure, an ocular B-scan ultrasound, and fundus photography, with treatment adjusted according to the condition and regular reviews. (Please use medication under the guidance of a physician.)

Can flying mosquito disease be treated with a hot compress on the eyes?

Floaters can completely be treated with warm compresses on the eyes, but if the purpose is to treat floaters, then it is meaningless because warm compresses have no effect on the treatment of floaters. Floaters can be divided into physiological floaters and pathological floaters. Physiological floaters do not affect vision at all; one cannot see clearly in dark places, but can see floaters in bright conditions. In such cases, it is only necessary to ensure adequate rest, use eyes properly, and appropriately use medicines like Ammonium Iodide Peptide Eye Drops, or Phosphatidylcholine Complex Iodine Tablets. If it is a pathological vitreous opacity, one should visit the ophthalmology department for thorough examinations and active treatment to strive for the restoration of vision. (Please use medication under the guidance of a physician.)
