Follow these simple steps to reduce the symptoms of floaters.

Read what causes floaters in the eye and then discover how a popular nutritional supplement that treats Dry Eye reduces the symptoms of floaters.

What Causes Floaters

The eyeball has two fluid compartments:

• The aqueous humor, which is is salt water in front of the eye's natural lens
• The vitreous humor, which is thick, gelatinous and filled with protein, behind the eye's natural lens

Most eye floaters occur because of a process called "vitreous syneresis." In simple terms, what happens is that the vitreous gel shrinks. This can be spontaneous, or can result from getting older, trauma or following eye surgery. Eventually, the vitreous gel completely separates from the retina on the inner lining of the eye.

When this happens, the collagen protein, which normally is a delicate lattice on the inside, now forms "clumps." These protein clumps then cast noticeable shadows on the retina, which people call "floaters."

But as anyone who has floaters will tell you, the shadows aren't seen all day long, but only under certain lighting conditions.

When our patent pending supplement for the treatment of Dry Eye was introduced in 2002, it was not our intention to market it as a treatment for eye floaters. Yet our own customers began to report improvement in their symptoms.

You can imagine that we were dubious. After all, our supplements had been formulated by ophthalmologists who had been taught during their training that the only way to remove floaters was by surgically removing the thick vitreous gel and replacing it with salt water, a risky procedure whose benefits did not outweigh the risks.

And to be very, very clear, no nutritional supplement can make floaters physically disappear.

But optically, something was happening that seemed to work. So our staff further investigated why floaters are seen in some circumstances, but not others.

People who have eye floaters typically report that they are most bothersome when looking at a pale, light colored background, such as clouds in the sky, or a blank wall. They are also seen more commonly in the side or peripheral vision, and much less commonly in the center of vision. In additiion, when looking up at clouds, the floaters don't look as if they are within the clouds themselves, but rather "floating in space" in front of them. The clouds only form the light background.

Universally, the floater symptoms get better or go away completely for a short time after a forced blink.

Eureka!

The backgrounds need to be out of focus in order to best see the shadows cast by the vitreous floaters! And by temporarily improving the tear film resting on the cornea with blinking, the symptoms of floaters become lessened.

So now that you've made it this far, you've discovered the answer: Floaters depend on visual defocus, a process that is lessened by improving the eye's optics through improved tear film coverage of the cornea.

We're not going to bore you further with how Dry Eye Relief works. You can find out more about it here. Suffice it to say that two gel caps taken twice daily (a total of 4 gel caps per day) provides greater stability and health to the tear film in a way that non-prescription drops can't. The formula is so unique that we had to file for patent protection with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, they have already conditionally approved the formula.

Important! Don't assume that your floaters are the floaters described above. Floating spots can also be seen with bleeding, inflammation, eye tumors and retinal detachments. Therefore, you need to make sure that your eye doctor confirms that your floaters are not from some other dangerous process.

Here are two more important features to make you feel more secure:

1. All of our supplements are independently and rigorously analyzed by an independent testing laboratory for potency and purity. The results of those analyses, available upon request, far exceed the standards in the nutritional supplement industry. That is why our production laboratory is one of only three dozen in the world to have received GMP Certification.

2. We guarantee the success of this product for you. Does it work to reduce the symptoms of floaters in 100% of people? Unfortunately, no. But we are able to offer this guarantee because it is successful for most people.

Try one bottle. If you don't experience success, simply give us a call on the telephone number posted on your shipping receipt, and we'll give you a return authorization number - NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
