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.

As people mentioned above, use NAC eyedrops to control it. Can supplement with supplemnts like lutein + zeaxanthin/astaxanthin (stronger than lutein + zeaxanthin), fish oil/grape seed to strengthen health of the eye.

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. hmm.gif

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

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

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