Lifestyle has a huge impact besides genetics on eye or any body part health. Eating all the good foods and herbs especially with fats, proteins, fiber, and the list goes on will affect this PVD issue along with other issues. Besides the surface of our body and eyes our insides need to be supported and detoxed on a regular basis. An overtaxed liver does not function well and does not allow us to digest and absorb well, by the time we notice, these symptoms have arisen and the damage was done. The key is to start off healthy and stay healthy. It's not too late to ever detox and support and heal the body, even the eyes and teeth, its all living tissue, it may get harder as we age but it still happens or we would be dead. Collagen is taken in also, it helps the gut so the body can get its nutrients and keep functioning better. So make chicken soup or bone broth or collagen supplements of good quality as well as all those beautiful fresh fruits and veggies. My life experience and research has shown me this over decades. Blessings and good health.

I've had large floaters since I was in my mid-30's (now 72). Had them "blasted" by YAG laser by a doctor in Ft. Meyers, Florida. Since insurance didn't cover it, had to save up $1800 per eye. Totally worth it, as I couldn't read a book before the treatment. I've read more books since the treatment than in the previous 20 years. The floaters in each eye would sometimes merge and blot out a stop sign or traffic light while driving. It's now been over a decade since I got the second eye done, no regrets. I worked for a laser company in the 70's so I understood what they can or cannot do.

Had them for about two months now. I'm scared because i constantly thinking what if i have retinal detachment 😨. But based on my Google research these are rare but idk Google ain't an eye doctor.

Had a PVD incident about 7 years ago, but don't recall having the large floater issue, but rather a small very dark floater that mostly stays out of sight in the upper left area of my vision in the left eye. What I experienced was while shopping at night, after a very long drive, I had a circle of flashing white lights...plenty scary when you're away from home and have only ever heard of retinal detachment. Thankfully was able to visit a local vision care facility on an emergency basis, where it was diagnosed, with a follow-up a few days later upon returning home. That eye has never "felt" the same since. More recently I'm noticing it is sending to feel somewhat 'goopy' though it is an eye that tends to dryness. Even prior to this incident I had to stop wearing contacts because of the dryness. I also just watched your video on macular degeneration as my (deceased in 2014) mom had one eye with dry, and one eye with wet and I know she would get an injection in one of them. Her mom had macular degeneration to the point of being legally blind, and was taking classes in Braille, so I am a bit fearful of (and need to get in for an exam - it's been since pre-Covid lockdowns!). I keep the lined grid on a wall...no wavy lines! Thank you for your informative explanations.

Dr. Allen, thank you very much for all of the great information you share with all of us regarding eye care. As some of us get older, we tend to develop all sorts of ailments that gradually contribute to making life more troubling/disabling than simply just feeling annoyed. I already have an annual eye exam scheduled with my Opthamologist in 2 days. I will certainly ask him about my floaters and some of those other symptoms that you covered. Your effort to explain some of these symptoms has proven to be invaluable. Thank you sir!

Enlightening, helpful information,very detailed and in depth explanations. Understandable, well done and I subscribed immediately. Thank you.

You are an excellent teacher; thank you so much for this informative video. I’ve never had my eye floaters explained as well as you have.

Thanks Doc. Great informative video. I named half of mine “The Floaters” (70’s R&B group) who had a hit song “Float On” and the other half “The Drifters” (50’s doo woop and R&B group) and their hit song “Rockin and Driftin” and “ Under the boardwalk”. Just trying to have a little fun 😃 with a condition that for me is a nuisance at times but for others is much more serious. I have “neuro-adapted” to my floaters over the years and really don’t notice them till I notice them. You and your work are GREATLY appreciated. Folks my age did not have this technology to keep us informed. Keep doing what you do.

Finally! I was so curious about the new video when I saw the story on instagram with the eye drawing.

Thank you so much for these videos. I work at an eyelab that uses telemedicine. So basically our exams are virtual. Watching your videos has educated me in being able to better explain what our doctor notates about our pts conditions if they have any.

Thank you, so informative. It’s also really useful to read the comments from people experiencing similar symptoms to myself.

I should get 3 credits for this excellent video. Been wearing glasses all my life and had never heard of eye floaters. Thanks for this!

You are an excellent teacher! And the visual aid was very helpful Thank you!

I just find here the explanation for my eye floaters ! Thank you so much for this explanation ! Very useful ! Thumb up of course !

great info and glad to hear that further research is happening to maybe have simpler treatments for this condition. I have have two floaters since last year, but I have to keep vigilant. thanks!

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 can be a powerful ally or your biggest enemy. If I can do it, you can do it too!

I have this kind of floater, and found this video very helpful and ... well, clear! Thanks!

Your videos here are the best ones about this problem. If you started to see flashes ( as lightnings ) in one eye then you probably will have those also in the second eye as well. In my case flashes in the second eye began with 1, 5 year difference. Of course, not always flashes lead to the detachment of retina. It can lead to only large floaters and then flashes get less and less still disappear. Yeah aging comes with such problem too, which I never imagine before! Now I check my eyes regularly.

Very helpful explanation. The Doctor has a wonderful speaking personality. Thank you.

Very helpful and informative video. I just started seeing some floaters a few weeks ago and despite my optometrist telling me it’s all good I still had some concerns this video helped a lot!

You have explained far better than my own eye specialist. Thank you for the excellent presentation.

Had this event happen yesterday totally freaked me out. The doctor didn't explain much about it other then what to look for if worsened. So this was so helpful thank you.

@@donniemoder1466 His explanation is a bit misleading though. Floaters don't necessarily mean you have a PVD. It just means your vitreous is changing and there are forming some solid lipids in the vitreous. What he is referring to here is actually less common then normal floaters and occurs past mid-age, when the vitreous is shrinking, the bag that contains it comes loose from the back of the eye and when it pulls the strong connection around the optical nerve loose, that can give a more dense, less moving floater then the floaters that people are commonly familiar with; it's called a Weiss Ring. I'm an optometrist btw, so I know.

Thank you for a very insightful explanation with regard to floaters. I was born with extreme nearsightedness and have been experiencing floaters for over 50 years. I experienced a retinal detachment twice, with positive surgical repairs, then due to blunt force to one eye and delay in eye care, after a poor prognosis for a third detached retina I went completely blind in the eye. Decades later, I wound up contracting Wet AMD in the good eye, which was successfully treated twenty years ago, however, I developed a cataract and had it repaired. But throughout all these decades eye specialist always down played eye floaters, then when I had the cataract surgery the Ophthalmologist told me that no specialist in their right mind would dare operate to remove my floaters. Luckily they are not blocking my vision but within the last two weeks I noticed a new one that pretty big, very dark and dense, and whenever I look down it shoots upward , akin to a cockroach climbing up a wall at jet speed. Making appointment to see my ophthalmologist this week.

It is so refreshing to find a young physicians that is will to explain things as he has. Unfortunately the older medical community historically has not done this.

Hey there, maybe you have heard of the VDM project. They are trying to find a safe cure for eye floaters and are still needing support and donations. Maybe a video on that project from an eye doctors perspective could be also very nice.

Great idea!

I notice them when I am reading a book, and I read everyday.

Excellent video very informative. I'm not experiencing any of these issues at this time but it's great to know this information so that I could recognize it should it begin to happen. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing this info , I just found out today I have a tear in both my eyes , its nice to see I'm not alone in this , I'm only 26 ,I am grateful that its not to serious right now, but I may have to get surgery in the future, trying to look on the bright side if life 🙏

Thanks for this great topic. I do have floaters and I'm seeing them everyday. Irritating but I was hoping one day very soon there's a cure for it.

I recently came to know about PVD after my eye doctor visit and my complaint about the floaters, this video helps me understand PVD a litter more, Thank you, Dr. Allen. Since I can control my eye floaters to go in the direction I want them to, and I see them in 3D, I can play a video game without any equipment, hahaha.

Thank you for this comprehensive overview.

I could never challenge this superb information. It is the best I have ever seen and heard in my opinion and I seen have lots of these sorts of videos.

Just meet with my ophthalmologist today after experiencing lightning flashes and eye floaters continuously for the last three days. I was diagnosed with PVD. These symptoms really scared me. I already suffer with Open-Angle Glaucoma, Age-Related Nuclear Cataract, and high eye pressure. I'm 58 yrs. old. Still young. It was refreshing to hear you explain it like my doctor did. The drawings were also very helpful in your presentation. Thanks

Excellent, comprehensive, and easily understandable explanation of exactly what I have just been through, including the retinal tear within two weeks of initial symptoms (floaters, flashes, blurred vision). The tear was repaired with a laser procedure in office. Thanks for the clarification.

Excellent video. Very well explained in great details. Thank you.

Just diagnosed with this yesterday. Didn't have this education at the eye specialist appointment. Just you have PVD and I want to see you in a month. Grateful for this because I like to know all about my condition. Thank you, Dr.!

Just happened to me 3 days ago. I see your comment is from 2 years ago. How is your vision now? My floater looks massive.

Cool information! Great video effects with the floaters going over the computer screen, etc. Do floaters go away over time or are they always there once they appear?

How come no one answers this common question? Good luck.

I have a large floater at the moment. My treatment plan followed exactly as you outlined it. I’ve been back for the 4 week checkup and all is well. Floater is still there but I’m relieved my retina didn’t detach. You explained this so well, better than my Optometrist

Thank you for your video. Looking forward to watching some more content. I am 34-year-old male, legally blind. I have many floaters. Was told my vision cannot be corrected. I was 27 years old when they diagnosed me, legally blind... Have never received a 100% verified diagnosis. Central Oreo dystrophy / cones dystrophy, something in between there. Was told I have a rare genetic disease, x-link chromosome. Always trying to educate myself and hopefully find out about new treatment. It was a rough time in my life when all this happened. Would one day hope and love to be able to see properly again, go back to my career, don't think that will happen though. Thanks again for the help

You explain things so well. I have had pvd in both eyes. Then at follow up they found a horseshoe tear on the retina in my right eye and I had to have a laser procedure. I still have big annoying floaters and some light flashes seen only in the dark. Last week I had something strange and I always call my doctor when anything new happens. He believes it was an ocular migraine without the pain. It was blurry and I saw circular zigzag type stuff and it went away within a half hour. Thank you for explaining the pvd in understandable terms

Thanks for sharing Kathy! Glad they found the tear and healed it up with the laser. I get those same migraine aura's a few times a year. One of my older videos covered that, maybe it will help if you haven't seen it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoKnq5mLkbPRk9I.html

Do a video on ocular myasthenia! It took my ophthalmologists nearly a year and a half to figure out why my eyes were drooping.

Enlightening and informative thank you!

Absolutely awesome information on every eye topic.

Hello. Excellent content clearly explained as usual.Whilst doing some heavy lifting a few years ago - dark Weiss rings suddenly appeared in one eye. I got checked out at my local hospital and was told I had had an age related PVD. After a few months my brain had adapted and I didn’t see the Weiss rings any more, and have not had any problems since, thankfully. 🌞🙏🇬🇧🌞

Both my mom and dad had talked about having floaters, but I didn't fully understand. A few months ago I noticed having floaters for the first time, and it was terrifying. I was taking to shower and I happen to have a large window above the shower and it was super bright in the room. My bathroom is white and I noticed the floaters moving and had no clue what was going on or what I was seeing. I've sort of gotten used to it now and it's really only noticeable on white or light colored backgrounds for me. I have a high myopic prescription, a -8 in my right eye and -6 in the left. In the past my eye doctor has warned about retinal detachment.

Thank you for this information. Very concise and easy to understand.
