Can a Supplement Really Help Control Your Pesky Eye Floaters?

 

"Sarah Brewer, a GP, is quoted in the article as saying that a supplement called Clearer, made by Theia Bio, is "a natural but effective solution to address annoying floaters". Despite the promise in the headline, Dr. Brewer does not talk about getting rid of floaters."

"In 2022, researchers in Taiwan reported that taking high-dose mixed fruit enzyme supplements could reduce floaters, but it's not clear how they measured the number of floaters, so it is difficult to judge this study properly without more information."

"Other "solutions" suggested online include intermittent fasting, temple massage, and acupressure, as well as eye exercises. But there is no credible evidence for these."

"For example, eating lots of vegetables rich in carotenoids (spinach, broccoli, watermelon, pink grapefruit) and fatty fish containing omega-3, may help people at risk of age-related macular degeneration."
