What does it mean when you see floaters in your eyes?

In an older person Posterior Vitreous Detachment. In middle age the Vitreous Gel inside the eye begins to degenerate and shrink, which can cause a separation of the vitreous gel from the retina at the back of the eye. This normal ageing condition leads to "floaters" or "spiders" in the field of vision. Associated with the condition are flashes of light in the dark. Your vision is otherwise not affected. There is very little, other than wearing dark glasses, that can be done.

What does it mean when you see lights flashing out of the corner of your eyes?

Flashing lights (or fireworks) just outside of your field of vision can be a symptom of a retinal detachment. If the "lightshow" has occurred more than once, it would be wise to make an appointment with your eye doc or primary care doc immediately.

Retinal detachment is repairable if caught early. Making the appointment could save your eyesight!

What is a sqiggle line in your vision?

There is a substance called Vitreous Humor and Aqueus Humor in your eye, (keeps your eyes shape) The Vitreous Humor is a gel like substance and can sometimes start to shrink or dry up (happens more with age) and some of the cells will clump. This is what creates the lines or dots you see, which are actually shadows of the clumped strand of vitreous humor onto your retina. This can alo happen from various kinds of damage to the eye besides age.

How do you cure the floaters?

Floaters are annoying but you can't really "cure" yourself of them. There are a few things you can do to minimize their effects. If you exercise, try to do low-impact work. Think of your eye as a snow globe. The more you shake it up and down the more the "snow" is noticeable. You can also try sleeping with your head slightly elevated. This allows gravity to work overnight and pull the floaters down to the bottom of your eye out of your field of vision. Hope that helps!

How do you get floaters out of your eye?

Hi there my name is Daniel and I'm not a Doctor just a plain old 11 year old kid who has tons of floaters as well as you may have. Now the bad news is that you can NOT get rid of floaters your self however one thing Please Do NOT have surgery these are your eyes were talking about not a games console etc. I woke up today and more floaters appeared and I got extremely upset and the best things are to do to decrease your floaters are quite simple:

1. Drink Plenty of Water not tap water mineral water only!

2. Do a lot of exercise about 80 minutes a day!

3. Don't go near junk foods or to much meat. Eat tons of vegetables this is a extremely important rule!

4. One of the most important step and the hardest... ignore them. There not worth it!

5. Drink a glass of red wine every 2 nights however know your limits and if you are young like me do not drink any alcohol!

6. If it gets any worse or you experience flashes of light please get medical attention straight away! And also visithttp://www.aboutfloaters.com/cure.htm

and do not ever get surgery because firstly it can cost $5,000 or much more. Secondly it is very risky because you could easily get blind from it.

7. Forget them and live a good life because ''the longer you had them the less you think about them and see them!''

Thank you and I hope this helped and remember your exercise and veggies! :D
