Eye Floaters CURE? - Atropine Eye Drops for Eye Floaters Explained

Are Atropine eye drops the next eye floaters cure? Learn how Atropine drops work and how you can try it for yourself! ///// Full explanation about floaters and other floater treatment options 👇 • What Causes EYE FLOATE...
Eye floaters commonly develop as we age and can be very bothersome for a lot of people. Thankfully, eye floaters often improve on their own, but if they don't improve and if surgery is not an option, then some doctors are turning to small dose atropine for help.
Atropine eye drops are typically used as a diagnostic and potentially a therapeutic medication for eye exams and a few eye diseases. Traditionally, it has not been used for treating eye floaters but t some doctors are prescribing a low dose 0.01% atropine to help improve floater symptoms.
Being that this is a newer trend and not fully widespread, many doctors may have not heard of using 0.01% atropine for floaters and even finding a compounding pharmacy can sometimes be a challenge, meaning it may be difficult to get low dose atropine.

About this video: Are you wondering how to get rid of eye floaters in your eyes? In this video, Joseph J. Allen, OD FAAO discusses a new treatment for eye floaters. Atropine eye drops for eye floaters is a newer trend that is being used and investigated by some eye doctors as a way to diminish eye floater symptoms. Although atropine may not be a true way to cure eye floaters, it still may prove to be an option for those who are very symptomatic. If you are seeing eye floaters and flashes in your vision, then this is the eye floaters video is for you.

Dr I see floaters in dark Too ..and big giant circle..in dark any suggestions?

[@HighTailingIt]

I used 1% Atropine, 1 drop in each eye every day for 11 years for myopia as a child. Both parents had severe myopia. I never had any side effects except the dilated pupils. I used bifocals for reading and sunglasses when outdoors. I didn’t develop floaters until my mid 50’s. Interesting connection with the Atropine.

[@smokenmirrors8869]

Not sure for Atropine, but whatever eyedrop the doctors used when they examined my eyes indeed made the floaters disappear for a day or so along with the usual dilating pupils.

I’ve had eye footers for about 15 years. They’ve gotten progressively worse. I have just about every type known in both eyes. They do affect my vision on occasion. And you cannot just ignore them if they are severe. That is something I don’t think many eye docs understand. I saw a prominent ophthalmologist for them about 12 years ago, and he told me there’s nothing that could be done. At least he was nice and compassionate and didn’t think I was crazy, but he offered no help or hope. I tried the pineapple method for about a month and saw minimal improvement, but for reasons too complicated to discuss here, I had to stop. So maybe I’ll try that again. Or atropine. I don’t have the money for the laser, and I’m not sure I’d want to try it yet either.

I’m 33. I was born with cataracts and had my lenses removed when I was a few weeks old. Floaters are a common complication of cataract surgery and I started experiencing them about a year ago.

For everyone who has eye floaters and are currently in panic: keep on reading. I first encountered floaters when I was about 19 but somehow they moved out of my field of vision, then at 27 I suddenly had a bunch of them. At that time I also had bad anxiety, stress etc and I couldn’t stop looking for the floaters that it became a daily obsession. But: I overcame it. It WILL get better! Try to find the core of where the anxiety comes from, maybe with a little more help like therapy or someone you trust to talk to. Strangely, I still have floaters but I barely notice them because I’m not scared of them anymore. The mind is the magic! If I can do it, you can do it too!

I wish there was a cure for these awful things that didn't involve eye surgery!! I just can't abide the thought of that. It's like my worst nightmare. Thankfully I don't usually notice my floaters much unless I'm looking at a bright background on my computer or if I'm outside in daylight. I do have this one though that is like a very dark speck in my right eye in the far upper outside part of my vision. Sometimes I think it's a wasp flying toward me (it even has little wings!). I have a phobia of wasps so that's always fun especially in public LOL! Please keep getting the word out that we need more research on how to get rid of these things easily and safely! Eye doctors don't seem to think they are a big deal but I assure you that to some of us they very much are! To be so common it is amazing that attention on this issue is almost nonexistent.

[@effentjes]

Glad you have a sense of humor about it. I have the big fibrous clumpy strands dancing the tango. I suffer from anxiety and depression because of these floaters, since 2018, due to a PVD in both eyes. Cannot get used to them. I am also an amateur photographer. I had vitreolysis on my left eye that greatly reduced my floaters, but my right eye turned bad, and the doctor that did the vitreolysis moved to another state. Nobody will touch my right eye now, as I developed glaucoma and have a lot of other stuff going on such as CNV. There is something like a limited vitrectomy, less invasive and risky than a regular one. I am considering that if they will take me. In the mean time, maybe I give atropine another try. I used it once, but my eye dilated more than I expected. It unsettled me a bit.

[@ricksimpsonisstill]

So I wanted to tell you what helped for me. I noticed the floaters about 5 years ago and i lived with it. I read a lot of info and watched lots of videos. I had a bit of encouragement when I tried the pineapple suggestions and I believe I saw a minor improvement. Now without focusing on the floater I began taking a multivitamin, an iron supplement and B complex. I would say its been about a year and a half and i realize that the floater is about 10% what it was. I was actually looking for it one day and couldn't make it come back . Obviously I could provide a lot more detail but as an overview that's all I did so ignore or draw your own conclusions.

I've had detachment of my vitreous body in my right eye in August 2019, I was 20 years old. I've begun to have a lot of eye floaters. It was a big shock for me. I got depressed I didn't know what to do. It was very painful. So I went to my doctor and she prescribed me 0.1% Atropine to use once per week at night, one drop in each eye. I have been using the drops for a little more than a year and I've had amazing results. Atropine relaxes the ciliary muscle and that relieved my pain. It also helped me see less eye floaters, now I barely see any. I believe it somehow sharpened my vision and stabilized my diopter because in a recent check up with my doctor she told me I've never been better during my eye test. I think I only got one number wrong. I was pleasantly surprised so was she. I'm studying Pharmacy, this is my 4th year now and we have a compound Pharmacy at our Faculty, that's where I have been able to purchase my Atropine eye drops. A few weeks ago I even learned how to make them. So to every doctor who hesitates to prescribe the drops to a patient - don't. These drops helped me so so much, they saved my life, and my mental health. They also made my condition a little bit better.

[@Ghost00_14]

I’ve noticed that my eye floaters in my right eye is connected to what I eat there’s days where I don’t see it and other day where I do see it. Ive also been curious about this because I was talking to my Aunt who is diabetic and asked her because she recently began to lose her eye sight and asked questions about seeing eyefloaters and she confirmed that is what she sees. I connected one and two together considering that eyefloaters is connected to our nutrition. That being said I’ve had them floaters for about 3-4years since 16/17 . It wasn’t until now 20 that I’ve looked into nutrition for some help. Completely changed my diet up went from High Processed carbs to higher fats (Keto) plus doing research on Vitamins(A,K,D) + Nitric Oxide (Beets,CACAO powder, Spinach) plus I’ve also observed that eating starch bread pasta makes the eyefloaters move faster because it spikes insulin levels when your insulin levels are under control they move much slower and are less visible. Also learn if your insulin RESISTANT and many of us are because of what we eat your goal is to become insulin SENSITIVE taking cinnamon and ginger after eating HEALTHY CARBS(Sweet potatoes oatmeal etc) will help you become insulin sensitive that way your bodies insulin levels don’t go out of control. A big suggestion to those eat your vegetables because they contain a lot of vitamins that we don’t get in our diets if you got to supplement do it that way you protect your eyes in the long run hope this helps it’s what I’ve done and it helps a lot. Also wear Polarized glasses because I noticed the light causes more eyefloaters it’s crazy but if you look at the reflection light from a car or metal it makes your eyefloaters worse. Hope this helps if you really want to get more detailed info look up Thomas Deluer+ Dr Berg there really the best at what they do I forgot to mention working out aswell and staying fit helps with eyefloaters .Hope this helps someone

[@Ghost00_14]

Forgot to mention 16/24 fasting helps a lot and 24 hours fasts to let’s your body rest also take fats+protein in the morning and protein + carbs later when the sun goes down because you see eyefloaters less when it’s dark vs the morning this really helps

I agree that nutrition has a lot to do with it but keto isn't a cure. I always got mild floaters, since I was a child. I'm 50 now and been on keto for 3 years, which has cured my type II diabetes and Hugh blood pressure. Recently I started taking a supplement to try and help my hair grow, called saw palmetto. This has been the only change to my diet. It first made my skin break out in pimples and then I notice a stark increase in floaters... and worst some of them were black! I got really nervous and went to the opthamologist. He told me that any supplements or foods that mess with collagen production, either increasing or decreasing, can create more floaters. Hormones can also cause it (in your moms case blood sugar has a big effect on hormones). The floaters I had that were black he said were very close to my retina. Apparently the closer they are to the retina darker they appear. He said it's very likely the saw palmetto triggered them and if I stop taking it, which I did, they MIGHT go away. Time will tell! But it's very true that what goes into your mouth can create floaters in your eyes and probablyother problemsas well. I dont see that putting drops into your eyes that cause your eyes to have MORE sun exposure are a good thing!!

I use only one drop of this mix in each eye. It takes about 1 hours to start noticing the effects and it lasts about 5 hours for me. Some people use it before going to sleep to notice the effect the next day, so it depends on each person. It's a huge relief. I still want a definitive cure though.

@@ranjananikam7390 my dosage is 0.01% atropine and I always use 3-4 drops for extra strength. I wear contacts so the dilation doesn't affect my vision as much but that would be a side effect. You're told to only do 1 drop per day

Doctor I have anterior polar cataract in left eye and floaters in both eyes ,any suggestions plz

I’m 76 and have had floaters since I was a kid…. No big deal!😅

Did they get better I mean disappear?

[@miketheman6243]

@@Amey00077 I never gave them a second thought. I’d be willing to try something that’s safe. I’m not paying for anything. I can live with floaters the rest of my life

floaters are inside you eye in the vitreous heumor, how can eye drops do anything,
