    Floaters! Any cure?

    Anyone know of a sup. that helps with eye floaters? You know - those things you see when you look at a large solid-color object like the sky.

    Lol. I refer to "Floaters" as something completely different. You must mean muscae volitantes

    I don't know any remedies for that. Everyone has them though, seemingly, they worsen with age. But an interesting research topic for sure so I might look into it.

    My wife was thinking of the exact same floaters as you... lol. That's what I've always heard them called. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

    I've had them as long as I can remember but they also seem to stay about the same. I figured if anyone knew something to get rid of them it would be Austinite! Oh, well - I guess he can't cure everything!

    There is a lot of discussion surrounding floaters on some of the better competitive shooting sports forums.

    Well if you want to be a guinea pig. Try a gram a day and see if it does anything to your floaters. Hopefully, it will "flush" some of them out.

    Just some research, no experience here. L-Lysine.

    Everything else I researched points to laser treatments.

    Guinea pig, eh! I might just try it. I've had 'em as long as I can remember and they aren't really that bothersome but if there was an easy way to get rid of them I don't think I'd miss them much.
