Introducing The VDM Project - Crowdfunding A Cure For Eye Floaters

[@fatamorgana_1984]

Thank you very much for your videos. I'm from Austria hoping to find a cure to the floaters. First time when I recognized some floaters I was about 20 years old. I was coping with them over the years and they didn't increase much - up to a certain point in March 2020 when Lockdown starts and I felt stressed. I visited an ophthalmologist. It turned out my pressure in the eye is too high (28mmHg). I knew it, because I felt anxious and stressed and focusing was weird .. but my ophthalmologist denied the factor, that I got stressed so much. She said, that there are no studies, that cortisol can make this happen. I found some studies on the internet, that stress can ... So I'am at all happy to found your videos and your sight on certain things - it gives me a bit of confidence! Thank you!!

Hi Morgana, wouldn't riding bike cause eye floaters increased?

[@a200vase]

My eye floaters also appeared in a period when I was very stressed at work and didn't have enough of sleep

[@fatamorgana_1984]

@@a200vase Now I know for sure, that stress is one cause of floaters. I cured mine in the last months with Vitamins (A,D,E,K) and about 3 litres of water every day. I also eat more Nutritions with Omega3 oils. Additional I reduced stress and now the floaters are a lot better. I barely see them.

@@fatamorgana_1984 hi, if you don't mind me asking. Did some of the floaters actually go away, or are you saying that you just don't notice them as much but they're still there?

[@pacattack7121]

I've had floaters from 9 years old. Started with a long thread of cells in my right eye and after a short while I got them in my left eye. My eyes are filled with them and seems like I have gotten use to them over the years. I'm 48 years old now.

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

That’s a long time living with floaters. I’m glad you have been able to cope with them, I’m sure it wasn’t easy though.

[@pacattack7121]

@@MartinTheOptometrist no i was scared. Ignoring them helps. Lately though I have noticed they have increased. Visited 2 eye specialist to get second opinion. I had both eyes thoroughly checked and all is good.

Any latest updates on this project and how it's progressing?

[@sonjah1913]

Is there any update on this project?

[@vatchetorossian7658]

I have eye floaters since May 2020, I don’t know how it happen but they suddenly appeared in my both eyes around 5 to 6 points on each eye, I went to dr and I have checked everything, fortunately my eyes are very healthy and I don’t have anything in my eyes. However I have tried to eat pineapple aound 3 months and I have been taking brolamin everyday, unfortunately I didn’t see any improvement, but I believe we should continue taking it, because everyone has different metabolisms. If anybody has seen any kind of improvement that means there is a chance. It’s matter of time. I hope !

Hey doctor ; It 's been around 3 years that i have been suffering eye floaters since 18 . I used to play basketball 4 times a week but after I visited a specialist I've been told not to do too much activity like running , balling etc .... I'm also near sighted since middle school and keep using glasses for that . Started my eye floaters treartment with Simovison tablets and Lotemax eyedrops and my doctor told me these are for stopping eye floaters from spreading and they don't do anything for cure them entirely . Is there any brand new treatment for this ? these are really disturbing during online classes and everyday life !

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with floaters. I haven’t heard of the 2 products that you were recommended before. I can’t suggest anything that will definitely make it better at the moment, keep watching the channel for any updates. Try wearing sunglasses or photochromic lenses that tint automatically, this may make floaters less distracting.

[@charris8654]

Stress makes them appear worse.

[@susanarodriguez4723]

Hello mister Oguzie My name is Susana, and I live in California, I suffer of myodesopsia and I’ve trying to get a consultation with doctor Sebag but because I have Medical insurance, which is for people of low income, they refused to schedule an appointment, even when I told the receptionist that I would pay from my pocket, because I am desperate to know if I qualify to be in the VDM project, my mental health is no good due to my eye floaters. Could you let me know what can I do, or if there are any other kind of resources for me. I want to thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Is there a way to make your videos accessible to the Brazilian Portuguese language? Can KZbin generate an automatic caption for your videos?

Not automatically, but I think viewers can add the translation. If you would like to help with this video, I’m happy to assist. I will update the English caption also. Thanks

I got floaters almost a year after FS Lasik. Is it likely to have caused mine or am I just a bad luck Myopic guy?

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

Hi. As the floaters came on one year after it, I think it would be difficult to put it solely down to the Lasik treatment, although I know some people do report floaters post treatment. It could just as easily been down to chance.

[@berkcifci8755]

Hi Doctor. Does not drinking enough water cause eye floaters?

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

It’s not considered a main cause of floaters, but I’ve heard people insist that how hydrated they are seems to affect their floaters.

A big question in the 60s I had floater I was told to go for orternive treatment which I went with scepticism. After have acupuncture it was werd but worked i don't know eyes were OK but my back became painful any I dear .?

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

🤷🏽‍♂️ not sure sorry. Where did they stick the needles, your back? Acupuncture is reported to help blood flow, so perhaps there is something in that, which you benefitted from.

[@hectorbaculard7467]

Sir i just have a question. When did you get floaters and how it happened? Because i feel so guilty for something maybe i did to have this things even if all doctors said that is just normal and i have to live with it

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

I got mine about 21 years ago as a student. I was just studying and for about 30 minutes I thought there was a small piece of hair floating in front of me. Then I realised that it was in my right eye. I don’t know why it came on either, I can only guess that sporting injuries and football years before might have caused it to come in early in life.

Do floaters start because of laser hair removal lights

I’ve never heard anyone report that as a possible cause.

[@kubrabozkurt1150]

@@MartinTheOptometrist I had laser epilation on my face. I'm very regretful

[@MartinTheOptometrist]

Assuming it was done properly, I honestly wouldn’t expect floaters from this laser epilation, especially as it shouldn’t even be pointed in such a way that it could affect your eyeballs. It could of course just be coincidence but, lasers are obviously dangerous in the wrong hands though. Sorry to hear that you’re going through this.

What about all the eye doctors, why are they no pushing and supporting this project. So many people got this problem and nothing being done except this one small part time project. What about other big countries, what are. That’s they doing? So frustrating.
