Can the eye floaters be treated?
The term “eye floaters” is very common now. The number of patients seeking treatment for eye floaters is increasing gradually. What is an eye floater? It just means “Something that floats”. The patient experiences small dark objects – dots, webs, strings, thread, etc. in front of the eyes. It is not fixed, but moving. It darts away when the patient tries to focus on it. So, the name – eye floaters.
Simple eye floaters in a small level is harmless. It is seen in without any visual impairment or any other serious symptom, especially in senile people. But eye floaters are seen as a symptom in many other severe ophthalmic pathologies such as chorioretinopathy, macular edema, high myopia, retinal detachment, vitreous detachment, macular degeneration, etc. In hypertensive retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy also, patients may experience floaters. So, a differential diagnosis becomes absolutely necessary to proceed with treatment.

A dysfunctional meibomian gland are likely to have this, but ocular allergies or even wearing contact lenses can cause this problem.

What causes the floating dust in the eye?
The floating dust you are asking about is called myodesopsia or more commonly referred to as "eye floaters." It is a perfectly common thing to experience. They are caused by specks of debris floating in the vitreous fluid (the liquid that makes up most of the eyeball). People start to notice more and more as they get older because the vitreous fluid starts to solidify (like jello) as you get older and the debris floats at a slower pace.
Can a black floater in your eye go away on its own?
I have several floaters in my right eye. I have seen an eye doctor who says that most of the time they are caused by stress. I have seen a reduction and have had several more show up depending on how stressed I seem to be. they can check for the floaters in a normal eye exam if it bugs you too much.
I have had this in both eyes for at least a decade. It does get slightly better in less stressful times. Apparently, this can be caused by very scary problems as retina detachment as well as general health issues like yeast overgrowth in the body. Since I tend to eat more sweets during stressful times, I have the feeling the floaties are yeast related.

Everyone has a string-like jelly substance in their eyes. Those strings sometimes get clumped together making a "floater". Most floaters are normal, but if you notice a lot of new floaters or see flashes of light, you should contact your Optometrist immediately. Flashes of light could be the early signs of a retinal detachment and the only way to save most of your vision is to get it taken care of immediately. You will have to go see an Ophthalmologist for laser surgery if that happens. The only way to actually get rid of normal floaters is to have a surgery where they suck out all of the jelly-like substance from your eye. It sounds seriously disgusting, but completely true. I have worked with Optometrist for 2 years now and I hear some nasty stuff.

Floaters are generally cellular debris floating around in your eye near the retina where they cast a shadow and your eye projects these magnified shadows into space. We only notice these shadows if they float near the macula. If they float away from the macula we gradually loose site of them.
What it is is called milia. It is a keratin filled cyst. It is actually underneath the skin, so you can't pop it like a normal pimple. I've had two, both in the exact same spot. What is suggested is that you have it extracted (essentially popped) by a dermatologist. However, I did it at home using a sterile needle and clean hands. This could incur scarring or an infection, so I am not necessarily recommending home treatment. Also it hurts pretty bad and, honestly, it's hard to get the needle in the right spot since the skin on top is so tough. But it worked.
Prevention methods include mild exfoliation, less make-up (or better for you makeup and like products), and less sun exposure.
Causes include heredity, sloughed-off skin, sun exposure, and clogs due to oil, make-up, and the like.
In other words, it's harmless. You don't have cancer or any sort of disease. You basically have an annoying pimple.

How can you increase vitreous humor?
Currently, there are no established methods to significantly increase the volume of vitreous humor in the eye. The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the eye and is mostly composed of water, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Maintaining overall eye health through hydration, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and regular eye check-ups can support vitreous health, but any attempts to artificially increase its volume should be approached with caution and under medical guidance. Always consult an eye care professional for personalized advice.
What could be a good remedy for eye floaters cause by injury to both eyes?
For eye floaters caused by injury, it's essential to consult an eye care professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. While there are no guaranteed remedies, maintaining eye health through a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, staying hydrated, and protecting the eyes from further injury can help. In some cases, laser treatment or vitrectomy may be considered for severe floaters affecting vision. Always seek professional advice before pursuing any treatment options.
