Short of surgery I don't think you can get rid of them.

Visit a local acupuncturist and herbalist and let them give you a diagnosis and treatment.

Many people get relief from them and reduce them.

Greetings,

Thank you both for your responses.

Since I began this thread I was guided to try chrysanthemum, something I recommended just recently in another thread. I will also be looking into vitamin C. I found more info:

I have floaters in both eyes. I have tried to address them through several different means, but I still have them. They move about, but pretty much stay put in the same place. Finally it was suggested that I have them removed by surgery. I am not bothered by them to that extent. Good luck in finding a cure.

Question

I dont know if you have a serious case or not. You may also be referring to a different kind of "floater" than I am familiar with. However, I have been told in the past that if I see them to have my eyes dialated. Never had to do it so I dont know how well it works. Dont know if that would help you or not. Good luck anyhow.

Dont worry to much - you usually get them when you have been giving your Liver a hammering as the eyes are the organ connected with Liver... however go to a TCM Dr for an accurate diagnosis.

Find a licensed Acupuncturist and get properly diagnosed. Be sure to follow his suggestions regarding diet and lifestyle changes including herbs and acupuncture. Don't try to take anything over the counter and try to self medicate even with herbs.
