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.
How to Remove Eye Floaters
Posted by: | CommentsI believe I have these so called “floaters” on my right eye and I’m getting quite annoyed with it. How will I be able remove them?

Hello Darla. These so-called “eye floaters”, as we call them, have many different causes which may range from natural aging or when the wear and tear in the retina causes vitreous syneresis, being a symptom of eye abnormality such as near sightedness, injuries from eye surgery after a cataract surgery, laser surgery, Toxoplasmosis, and Tubercolosis; eye tumors due which is associated with leukemia and lymphoma, and eye infections due to diabetes. Floaters are classified depending to their causes.
Eye floaters are not dangerous so you don’t have to worry about them. But it is annoying for people who have them because it is more difficult for them to do everyday tasks such as driving or staring at something plain such as a white wall or a clear blue sky. Some eye floaters reduce in size and visibility over time and they may also move around the eye and can be a relief if it happens to get out of your field of vision. The shapes and colors of eye floaters may vary from being dark spots, thin lines, foggy and irregular, to being transparent streaks. Furthermore, the highly adaptive human brain becomes used to the eye floaters and there are times you will forget that you have them.
Although there are no medically tried and tested methods to remove floaters, there are certain vitamins, herbs, and iodine-based products which have been believed to reduce their effect. Unfortunately, there are no known oral or eye drop medications to fully cure floaters. If your case is a serious one, some doctors may suggest vitrectomy but it can be quite expensive.
