Eye Floaters Prevention I (Nutrition)
You may be asking how you can prevent eye floaters from happening to you. Or maybe you already have eye floaters and are keen not to let them get any worse. Eye floaters prevention involves a holistic approach incorporating proper nutrition and protection against physical damage to the eyes.
Nowadays
more than ever, the old adage "you are what you eat" holds. Medical
research is demonstrating that with the proper diet, almost all physical
ailments can be prevented and treated, from allergies to heart disease to cancer.
Eye floaters are no different. Often the cause of eye floaters is an age-related change in
the consistency and fluidity of the vitreous humor (the liquid inside your
eyes). And, just like you can protect your cardiovascular system from
age-related damage by making sure you get the proper nutrients, so you can
prevent damage to the vitreous humor. Indeed, a main part of the dietary advice
on preventing eye floaters is similar to that on preventing heart disease.
Namely,
you want to prevent inflammation and damage by free radicals.
Therefore, make sure you include lots of seafood and oily fish in your diet.
These are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory
action in the body. If you don't like fish, you are strongly encouraged to take
a daily omega 3 supplement.
Make
sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables, as these are rich in anti-oxidants
that protect against damage by free radicals. Specifically, you want to include
foods that contain two unique anti-oxidants: lutein and zeaxanthin. These two
anti-oxidants are accumulated in the eyes and have been shown to confer a
protective effect (like a shield) to the eye. Foods rich in lutein and
zeaxanthin include kale, collard, turnip, romaine lettuce, broccoli, corn,
garden peas and Brussels sprouts.
In
addition, you should include foods rich in beta carotene and vitamin A (beta
carotene is a precursor of vitamin A). Vitamin A is crucial for safeguarding
eye health and good vision. Liver is the number one best source of vitamin A;
other good sources include carrots, broccoli, kale, pumpkin, eggs broccoli and
peas.
Three
other important vitamins for preventing and curing eye floaters are vitamins C,
E and D. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant and is crucial for the production and
repair of collagen, a connective tissue found in joints, ligaments, various eye
structures and in the vitreous humor. Most fruits and vegetables are good
sources of this vitamin, but notable examples include citrus fruits, chili
pepper, kiwifruit and broccoli.
Vitamin
E is also an anti-oxidant, but it works mostly within fatty tissues and is
found in fatty foods such as plant oils, nuts and avocados. Vitamin E helps to
safeguard the eyes against degenerative conditions, including eye floaters.
Vitamin D plays a multitude of roles in the body, including preventing the
degradation of body tissues such as the vitreous humor.
Getting
a good amount of this vitamin daily can help you remain eye floaters-free. There are only
a handful of food sources of this vitamin (namely liver, egg yolk and oily
fish), but you can synthesis the vitamin in your skin on exposure to sunlight
(but be careful not to get too much sunlight!).
Eye Floaters Prevention II (Physical Damage)
The other aspect of eye floaters prevention, apart from good nutrition, is preventing physical damage. Physical damage can cause eye floaters or exacerbate the condition. Therefore, preventing physical damage to the eyes will help you to stay floaters-free and if you already have eye floaters, will help to prevent from making the condition worse.
The
first point is to avoid eye injury, which is probably an obvious
recommendation. Injuries to the eyes are one of the main causes of eye
floaters, and often these are preventable. If you participate in contact
sports, such as martial arts, make sure you wear appropriate protective gear if
you do not want to avoid such a sport altogether.
Eye
floaters can also be caused as side effects of some medications. Therefore, try
not to take strong medications unless you really need them, and make sure you
stick to your doctor's recommended dose. Never exceed this dose and never stop
or lower the dose without asking your doctor first. Illegal drugs have also be
known to cause eye floaters, so this is another reason why you should avoid
them.
Another
thing that can cause eye floaters is rubbing the eyes. Many people do this when
they feel tired and as soon as they wake up. Not only is this useless for
shaking off the tiredness, but rubbing the eyes can cause physical damage to
the eyes.
You
may also be rubbing your eyes unconsciously when you are sleeping face down.
When we sleep, the eyes will be moving under the eyelids. If you are sleeping
face down, this will in effect cause them to rub against the eye lid with
forced pressure, which can be harmful.
Smoking
can also cause physical damage to the eyes, because reactive substances in
smoke 'burn' their way into your eye (not to mention the multitude of damage
that smoking does to your overall health). Try to avoid places where there are
people smoking, and if you can't help it, make sure you increase your intake of
foods rich in anti-oxidants (such as fruits and vegetables).
Anti-oxidants
help to protect against free radicals in the smoke. Of course there is only so
much anti-oxidants can do - hence reiterating the importance of avoiding smoke
as much as possible.
Harmful
substances are also found in exhaust fumes and in many cosmetic products. Be
careful when spraying your hair, using antiperspirants and applying perfume.
You should do so in a well-ventilated area (not in a closed bathroom!) and do
not get the spray into your eyes.

This post is from the Eye Floaters No More Program. It is
created by Daniel Brown, a former sufferer and professional health
researcher. As a professional health researcher, Daniel Brown was able to
use his background to find a permanent cure for himself when he suffered from
eye floaters. His in-depth knowledge about eye
floaters enabled him to create a credible, natural and effective
step-by-step alternative treatment plan to help other sufferers get healed,
without the use of synthetic drugs or risky surgery.
The
Eye Floaters No More Program can be best described as a step-by-step guide with
detailed instructions for naturally and permanently curing eye floaters and
other vision problems. Simply put, eye floaters are sediments found inside
the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance that fills the hollow space at the
back of the lens and helps maintain the shape of the eyes. These sediments
appear because of the changes that happen with the vitreous humor after
infection, inflammation, or severe damage to the eye. According to Daniel
Brown, the Eye Floaters No More program was designed to help you treat the root
cause of this problem without depending on prescription drugs, surgery and
other mainstream medical treatments. Aside
from eliminating all signs of eye floaters, like dots, shapes and blurs, this
program is also filled with lots of techniques and tips for treating a host of
eyesight symptoms and problems.
