Hi Carmen! The fact is, anybody is at risk having a floater in the eye.  To tell you the truth, everybody at some point in their lives will develop floaters in the eye because as people age, the wearing and tearing on all parts of the body due to the aging process will take its toll including the most delicate parts of the eyes.  If you are near-sighted or had an eye cataract and had it operated on, then you have a much higher chance of contracting an eye floater or two, because these eye conditions may change or damage the blood vessels and the vitreous humor or the jelly like substance surrounding the eye.

Eye diseases such as chronic eye infections and eye inflammations may also cause floaters in the eye. Same as with playing active sports so in a way, depending on how you define stress in your question, it can also cause floaters in the eye. As a safety measure, you should wear safety goggles when participating in rigorous activities to prevent eye injury.

You don’t have to worry that much about floaters in the eye. For some, they are just a mere annoyance and in some cases, they even disappear over time. The human brain also plays a funny trick with floaters in the eye once you get used to them. What the brain does is it ignores the floaters and you won’t see nor notice them as much.

Floaters in the eye causes as you can see come from various health conditions.  Probably one of the best floaters in the eye treatment is an organic diet of fruits and vegetables.  To get enough of the needed organic fruits and vegetables to put you body in healing mode is to juice and blend all your product.   You should probably get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist because various vascular problems such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal hemorrhages are the main causes of the appearance of multiple floaters in the eye and can cause more serious problems such as blindness and permanent vision loss if left untreated.  Detoxing your body by juicing and blending organinc fruits and vegetables can possible reverse this and any other problems your body may be having….giving it the tools it needs to heal its self is probably what we need most.

Again floaters in the eye are generally harmless, but if they are giving you problems go get those eye floaters checked out.
