I have one fixed floater with the shape of a croissant after the collapse of my vitreous. I have one slice of pineapple 4 to 5 times a week for a year. The floater lost most of its shape and only remains two points. I don´t know what influence had on the small dose of bromelain but I`m getting better. As I know bromelain don't dissolve collagen but it slows blood clotting, perhaps it may reduce collagen fibers clumps

Either true or false, no one wants to do this research because no pharmaceutical company can make money on selling pineapples.

Thanks for your video, Dr. Tai. A couple of years ago I had a round floater in my right eye, I was alarmed as it was severe. Through the research of my own, I deduced that it was from my optic nerve. I researched ways to treat my condition and learned that sucking out the floater to include the entire gel sac and then replacing the fluid was an option. This seemed like a last resort for me so I began eating pineapples. I eat pineapples every day for three weeks and the floater disappeared. I recently had the same thing happen in my left eye. I went back to the pineapple and it's been a week. The floater has diminished by 60 or so percent and I will continue to eat pineapples until it's completely gone. I still have no floaters in my right eye. I turn 60 this month. Due to my personal experience, I'll continue to enjoy pineapples for the rest of my life. Sincerely,

[@brucemattingly6476]

Nice video Dr. Tai, keep going..! 👩‍⚕️ My understanding of bromelain is that it is a proteolytic enzyme which is an enzyme that clears out "damaged proteins, including collagen" from body tissues that contain damaged proteins and collagen, whereby, if you supplement with collagen, eat collagen rich foods (and/or foods rich in building blocks of collagen), then the damaged collagen that is cleared out is replaced, where needed, as appropriate. Bromelain is sold separately as supplement at health food stores, and my understanding is you take it on empty stomach with water if you want to experience proteolytic enzyme benefits, or take it with food if you want to use as a digestive enzyme. Also, bromelain in pineapple is mostly found in the stem of the pineapple, not much in the pineapple flesh and juice, so supplementing with bromelain will get you to higher therapeutic dose than eating pineapple flesh..! But don't stop eating pineapple, as it is very healthy and relatively low on glycemic index..! The lack of clinical study funding for additional studies on this topic most likely because you can't patent pineapple... and big pharma is not quick to fund big/expensive clinical studies with treatments that can't be patented (e.g. food). Thus the major downfall of clinical research field that focuses only on pharmaceutical breakthroughs (instead of food based wellness), so they can patent lab created pharmaceuticals, make megabucks, then treat and manage patients with them until the cows come home... paying off their condo in Bali... 😟 Of course seek the advice of informed health care professional before taking any supplements..! Blessings🙌🙏💞

[@heartobefelt]

Dont worry , If pharma discover clear evidence that pineapple cures floaters they will publish a report that Bromelain causes terrorist activity and they will get it banned , synthesise it , patent it and sell the treatment for $ 8000 per program. (kidding okay)

I have ischemia in my right eye which is a loss of blood flow and I only have 5% as a result in that eye but my left eye is still 20/20 but the event left me with a lot of floaters in my good eye. The enzyme in the pineapple helps me quite a bit and pretty much eliminated about 90% of all floaters in My overall vision, at least that's the way it seems to me. My guess is that it probably depends on why you are seeing floaters. My guy is a neurosurgeon and works with military fighter pilots for night vision issues.

I was about 13 years old when I first saw floaters. I thought they were living things I was seeing while using my microscope. I never told anyone because I did not know what to call them except things moving across my sight when I turned my eyes. Many years later I heard someone call them floaters,(Posterior Vitreous Detachment). You are my first to refer to them as PVD. Thank you. I never knew there was a treatment for them. I am watching your videos because I have been scheduled for cataract surgery in both eyes.

Hi Doctor! Nice to hear from you! Proud of you!...

[@sh-wasmichbewegt]

The first time, I experienced eye floaters is about 20 years ago (I’m 67 now and retired). Over the years I have seen up to 5 floaters in my left eye. I didn’t had a healthy style of living and had a too much stress work related and too less sleep - constantly exhausted, not to talk about alcohol consumption. Anyways, my live got more in order, less stress, healthy eating and more sleep over the last 5 years 🙂 The floaters are almost gone, I only see 2 sometimes but very transparent compared to 15-20 years ago. I won’t draw a conclusion out of that, but since my life became calmer, my floaters may decided to hide somewhere away out of the field of view 😉 from my perspective - they almost disappeared 🤔

[@BryanJohnson1969]

I had posterior vitreous detachment for 2 years. Looked like cobwebs. It would come and go every few weeks to few months. It almost seems like it would reattach itself after a few weeks. I discovered a paper that linked the condition with diabetes. I do have type 2 diabetes. I went on a keto diet, I took extra collagen and I used hyaluronic acid drops in my eyes. They condition has not returned, knock on wood. It is now been over 2 years.

Then you will get a lean liver quickly and you can begin a journey towards much better health. You may experience improvements from ailments you didn't even know you had.

[@AndersWelander]

@@MyLawrence04 By the way, it wasn't any of my doctors that told me to cut down the carbs, it was a nutritionist. The doctors just wanted me to inject a poison called Ozempic and they were hinting at giving me insulin which would have been another way to kill me.

[@fazergazer]

A great video. I had posterior vitreous detachment and a retinal horseshoe tear which was tacked down. There are different classes of floaters. One, are the vitreous gel floaters caused by collagen clumping during syneresis or formation of liquefied vitreous. A more serious type are caused by posterior vitreous detachment…hyaloid membrane surrounding the vitreous pulls from the retina, and parts of that can cause more obstructing floaters. If the hyaloid pulls too hard, causing traction and visual flashing lights, the retina can tear. Many hundreds of dark tiny floaters can accompany this. Flashing lights, dark curtains, and loss of acuity signals possible retinal tears. These can generally be tacked down right away with a laser…a barrier is formed to prevent further tearing.

I had my cataract surgery about 4 years ago and soon after I started getting the blurry effects of a floater. One day while laying at the park looking up at the sky I could see the floater drift right in front of my vision. I define it like the size and shape of Prince Edward Island and it has been a source of aggravation ever since. Since I am completely blind in my other eye due to injury, this has become a huge frustration in my life. My 2 eye surgeons I have seen, the one who did my surgery and another for a second opinion seemed to completely ignore me as if I was seeing things.

@@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon what about the bothersome oily film, formed by the lubricant used in the anti-vegf injections, that emerges from the hole in the eye created by the syringe? How can that oily film be washed off from the eye's surface? Thanks in advance.

[@PerrynBecky]

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of your presentation and your own skepticism concerning pineapple helping with floater problems until I listened to your objections which do make sense. The clincher was when you spoke of being a nutritionist and proponent of natural remedies. You seem to be an eye doctor who shoots it straight. I had cataract surgeries in both eyes, and last week I had to have a YAG capsulotomy in my right eye because it had began to become so blurred that I couldn't see even with glasses from that eye. It was like trying to look through a shower glass. After the procedure, I was able to see tack sharp from my right eye for 2 days, but experienced severe hazing problems and even spots from the laser when I would look at a white or near white wall. I have been off the Prednisolone for 3 days now, and for the most part, my vision has came back to 90% of what I was seeing for 2 days post procedure. Hopefully I will get that wonderful tack sharp crispness that I enjoyed for 2 days as my eye finishes recovering, and I was told that it could take about a week for the side effects to completely disappear. Good and informative presentation here. Thank you.

The internet has a lot of people talking rot, and silly people following equally silly people who give out the rot. So thank you doctor for your sensible medical advice!

[@newhorizons898]

Yes, a lot of people are talking about their own experiences and extrapolate it. Whether it is rot or not cannot be known until you had their experience and try what they suggest. The professionals have their place but they are not gods. Thank god for free speech, instead of thoughtless mutterings.

Rot or not ? Every educated medic can give you an answer . All these wonder healers with their cheap maladies are perfect match for dummies looking for miracle remedy on KZbin

[@newhorizons898]

I know someone who was diagnosed as stage 4 cancer and was given no hope of recovery by first world specialist doctors, but recovered by drinking tea made from a tropical plant. In addition, when I was in NY, USA, a specialist opthamologist after an eyebrow examination told me that I should get reading glasses because of my age but twenty years later, I still don't need reading glasses. So much so for specialists. Please note these are exceptional experiences. Generally, my experiences with medical specialists have been good.

I had a bunch of floaters, I took bromelain supplements for a couple of weeks and I noticed that the stationary floaters moved (they’ve been in my vision for a long time), which was annoying because I was used to them in certain parts of my vision, so I stopped.

[@b.b.finsclara3589]

Dr. Audrey Tai i am sooo impressed....not only are you an Eye Surgeon YOU also have a Master Degree in NUTRITION!!! WWWOOOWW!!! You actually have invested the time and effort to learn-investigate causes of diseases.....I wish i knew where you practice.... so i could be one of your lucky patients. At present i am visiting an eager-greedy Ophthalmologist who insists that most of the Old Ladies (and his Clinic...regardless of dates and days-times is packed with Old ladies ABOUT 20-30) Imagine how many surgeries he can dispense $$$$$..... Luckily i spend many months per year scaping the Winter and while at those locations i have been making it my mission to attend a goood Ophthalmologist to go over my vision....if there are any challenges......Keep up the good work, Dr. Tai!!! we need you.

So glad I found your channel. Last year I had PVD in both eyes, 6 months apart. Also found out during exam that both eyes have cataracts. I have different types of floaters in both eyes. This all has been extremely distressing. I'm 56 and trying to find natural solutions that may help. My ophthalmologist said there's nothing. I've lead a healthy lifestyle and this has been a shock. Added vitamin E and algae omega to regimen, as well as, trying to eat greens daily. My main concern is stopping or slowing progression. Thank you for all you do

I had some floaters but just realized they don't affect me anymore perhaps gone, however l do know pineapple 🍍 dissolve Kidney stones within less then a week including uric acid stones. One needs to take half a pineapple 30 minutes before meals and alot of water. You will need something for the mouth like Bonjela otherwise you'll get sores. This treatment worked on me after litrotripsy treatment failed since l had Uric acid stones that cannot be seen on screen unlike calcium oxalate stones. When l mentioned this treatment to my doctor his only comment was he would go broke if everyone knew about it. If this helps anyone please share

[@Centurion101B3C]

Thank you for this very clear and honest handling of this (to me) vexing problem of floaters. You have given me important pointers along which to seek proper treatment without being tempted to resort to the much bandied quackery that is so abundant on this medium. As with everything, patience generally works and magical/irrational solutions don't. You set this apart in a clear and professional fashion. Again for that I thank you.

You are awesome. I love that you also know about nutrition. You made me contact my eye care doctor. When I got PVD in my second eye I wasn't worried since it worked well with the first eye. But this second time I have had peripheral flashes for like a year now, occasionally seen at night. I want to fix that and I also want to suck out the vitreous gel of the eyes and replace the lenses as well. I assume nobody will come up with a way to rejuvenate lenses. Or maybe they will but only after I replace mine.
