I think almost everyone of us have floaters. It's just how obvious are the floaters. Mine most probably due to aging and pressure the floaters become more annoying. When we aged, our eyes tend to have difficulty focusing especially when we want to read something on papers or IT devices. Currently I have seen there are two options, live with it or get some treatment. Normally doctors would advice to live with it. Went to Optimax to check my eyes and was informed that the floaters are normal and the doctor said his floaters are even worst than mine.

I have not seen anyone feedback on YAG laser treatment for floaters. The Tun Hussein Onn National Eye Hospital THONEH had been promoting it for quite sometime with introductory price of RM800.

They have been promoting it but according to some opthalmologists, it's not been proven to be effective. The theory of using laser to blast floaters, gets them into smaller pieces, means more "mini" floaters.

Surprise that they are not promoting NAC eyedrops. Guess NAC eyedrops are cheaper than laser.

There are lots of research backing NAC eyedrops on ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

those who started to have it recently, try to peel and cut onion/shallot. no need to do excessively until your eyes sting. just normal cooking amount once a day or once every 2 days is enough.

those who have longer might see it reduced after some time.

how does it help?

Possibly cause it have NAC. When you cut it, the NAC vapours will get into the eyes.

Is it normal for a 20-something year old guy to have these eye floaters? I have some floaters and it's even more obvious when I'm staring at a monitor screen with a white background.

ugh... can't you tell this is old wives tales? nobody can prove it, yet it might works for some, or simply a coincidence if it even work.

and do not ever ask back like this when older people tell you something ridiculous like this. it just plain rude to them. just smile and tell yourself they are just plain stupid believing something like this when all the doctors in the world already said there is no cure for it, even with that magic russian eye drop.

Anyone can recommend me a doctor/hospital for floaters? I want to check if i got detached retina.

Where is your location?

Living in PJ but don't mind traveling to KL.
