How to Treat Floaters in the Eyes

　　In general, floaters in the eyes may be caused by age-related factors, poor eye habits, eye fatigue, myopia, uveitis, and other factors. Depending on the specific situation, treatments such as general management, surgical intervention, or medication may be employed to manage or alleviate symptoms. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, identify the underlying cause, and undergo symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. A detailed analysis is as follows:

　　1. Age-related factors

　　With aging, the vitreous humor is prone to liquefaction, which can lead to condensation and aggregation, resulting in floaters. Medications such as iodinated peptide eye drops, which contain organic iodine, may help promote microvascular circulation in the eyes, aid in the absorption of vitreous opacities, and improve symptoms of floaters.

　　2. Poor eye habits

　　Poor eye habits may contribute to myopia, which can lead to the development of floaters. It is advisable to maintain good lifestyle practices, such as looking into the distance and closing the eyes to rest, which can help relieve floaters. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamins can provide antioxidant effects, protect the retina and vitreous of the eye, and help maintain ocular health.

　　3. Eye fatigue

　　Prolonged use of the eyes can cause sustained tension in the eye muscles, leading to temporary floaters. Appropriate eye exercises can improve ocular blood circulation. For example, eye-rolling movements and blinking exercises can strengthen the muscles around the eyeball, promote blood flow, and help distribute tears evenly across the eye surface, providing lubrication and nourishment to the eyes, which can aid in alleviating floaters.

　　4. Myopia

　　Myopia may be related to genetic, environmental, and unhealthy visual habits, and may lead to vitreous degeneration, thereby causing floaters. Symptoms may include decreased vision and visual field defects. Patients can use medications such as phospholipid-complexed iodine tablets, sodium iodate injections, and Mingmu Dihuang Pills under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms.

　　5. Uveitis

　　Uveitis may be associated with infections or autoimmune diseases. Inflammatory exudates may enter the vitreous body, causing cloudiness and resulting in floaters. Symptoms may include eye pain, photophobia, and tearing. When vision is significantly affected, vitrectomy may be considered, in which the cloudy vitreous is removed to treat floaters.

　　In daily life, one should avoid rubbing the eyes with hands to prevent infections that could worsen floaters or lead to other ocular complications.
