Floaters: Floaters are protein clumps from the fibrous part of your vitreous fluid. Typically brought about from oxidation. Focus more on anti-oxidants and look into a low glycemic diet.

Muscae Volitantes: Floaters (MUSCAE VOLITANTES) are benign & no treatment's needed nor can they be PREDICTABLY prevented. PATHOLOGICAL ones can be treated more aggressively. If your condition has CHANGED or is DISABLING then, visiting your ophthalmologist is a GREAT idea. CAUTION if buying COSTLY MIRACLES. Few if any are proven.
