Welcome to my channel! Vision is our top sensory modality. I am an optometrist and interested in promoting the knowledge and science of eye diseases/conditions to the general public. My goal is for you to understand the basics of vision and eye health that allow you to take care of your eyes better. I will discuss common eye problems like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, dry eye, red eye, cataract, floaters, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, optic neuropathy, double vision, binocular vision disorder, as well as use and care of contact lenses, glasses, prism and low vision devices. I will use languages to allow lay public to understand clinically relevant eye problems.

I very occasionally have very slight wavey slightly strobing affect in eyesight in one eye...is that what you mean by flashes? When you say "flashes" i assume something more dramatic.
THIS MAY HELP SOME PEOPLE I'm 54. April 2, 2023 I had my first aura (without headache). Since then I've had 4-5 episodes per month (41 in total); sometimes twice in one day. I had an MRI and a visit to an Ophthalmologist; everything was fine. On April 11, 2024 I had a very unusual episode- a scary one. The entire field of vision was moving left to right and back again- bouncing side to side. It lasted a few hours and then it resolved. It never reoccurred but it scared me. I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to stop the aura so I made some changes: I was taking a blood thinner (Xarelto 10mg) and multivitamins/supplements (one-a-day vitamin, fish oil, saw palmeto, vitamin D tablet- nothing strange)- taken on the same day. I decided to both space them out and separate them. I now take the blood thinner on Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. I take the vitamins Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I initiated this spacing on April 20. My last aura was on May 23. I haven't had an aura in 78 days and counting! I'm not sure if I was taking too many blood thinners, too many multivitamins, or it was the interaction between the two. I did read later that multivitamins, while being useless can also interact with medication. I no longer take that multivitamin tablet at all now. No one told me that auras could be caused by the interaction of medications/vitamins. I hope this helps some people!
I‘m 24 and i have this, it’s not that bad but i‘m sick of it. I just want to have perfect vision. Why is there no safe cure yet?
Hi Doc. What can adult with myopia do to prevent myopia deterioration? Thank u!!
When you said you felt the urge to tell everyone what had just happened my jaw dropped. I had my 4th happen today and afterwards was walking around work telling everyone, why do we do that?
recently just have this darn floaters and i hated it so much... i thought it would just go away . hav to wait for my doc cause he's out of the country for 2 week so i had to wait. these darn floaters has affectd my work as an artist drawing on computer. its really demoralized me now and all i could do was hope that it slow down or float down ward.
I think it’s after looking at the solar eclipse. These solar eclipse glasses don’t work at all to protect ppl’s eyes. God bless you ♥️
Good
I have experienced auras without migraines for some time. I am 68 yo, and it first happened about 20 years ago. They were infrequent (maybe one every few months) and my ophthalmologist said it was nothing to be concerned about. About 6 months ago I got a series of frequent auras, up to 3 or 4 per day. This lasted for about a week. About that time I had an ophthalmology appointment and everything looked good, at least as far as my eyes were concerned. Then the auras stopped, and I didn't have a single aura 5 months. Then I had 1 or 2, and over the past week I have had several per day (up to 5!) but it seems to be reducing now. No other symptoms, no blurred or double vision, no problems with peripheral vision, no numbness, nothing. Recent check-up and bloodwork was all good. Not sure what is going on or what to do about it, if anything. Wish there was more known about what causes these and how to treat them.
Fasting does the job!!!
Autophagie
how long die you fast? i did about 40 hours, they haven’t changed yet.
I had the fly thing for 5 days in right eye, went away but now i have a white ring that flashes sometimes, needless to say I'm seeing the eye doctor tomorrow, have no idea what it is. Love your videos, very informing By the way I also have scintillating scotomas for the past 25 years, fun stuff!
Thank you for sharing this Doctor. I am recent vitrectomy patient of 3 weeks or so because of retinal detachment. My surgeon is 2 hours away but i feel i must tough out the 1 more week to see them, however instead of just a bubble i think i am having an issue with pvd. I see these huge black clumps at the side of my vision spinning if i dont stretch my eye. That and the bubble drive me crazy sometimes. Cant believe i am saying this but im glad to have amblyiopia in that eye because sometimes its ignored. I almost just want the eye gone. It feels like a problem. I could barely see the big E before the surgery.
Doctor - you need surgery ie Remove the gel and replace it with a water solution.
I searched everything and same result . I am so frustrating
The new small-gauge vitrectomies are a new surgery and most doctors don’t know about them yet unless they subscribe to specialized journals about retinal medicine. Hopefully the word will get out.
@@jessamineprice5803I just had a vitrectomy 5 weeks ago. I had tons of floaters now I only have one tiny floater the size of a pinhead. I hardly notice it. The procedure was less than 1/2 hour. No pain at all. I didn't take an pain medication afterward. Things are healing nicely. Thank God.
@@jessamineprice5803 I just had this procedure done. It went great. 99% of floaters gone. No pain. It only took less than 1/2 hour.

Very helpful, thank you!
I've been diagnonised with vernal conjunctivitis, for the past 4 years it always pops up in the summer season (from March) and ends in November.I veen using pataday and eye lubricant (Artificial tears). I live in a humid climate(in India) don't know if this can be treated or not. What's your take on this, can this be treated? (Iam 26 yrs old right now)
Did anyone try eating pineapple and get good results in terms of floaters seeming lighter?
That's not working
Lame
I've been referred to hospital for surgery. Have you thought of this?
I have surgery scheduled for severe floaters but I’m fortunate to live in a major city with the best retina surgeons in the world. Until recently I was living in another world class developed city where NO doctors know how to do small-gauge vitrectomies. It’s very new techniques. So those of us with the opportunity for surgery are very lucky. It’s a major surgery with definite risks too, make sure you’re fully informed.
We gotta make nanobots
Only option
It's so difficult to deal with them😔
Had these really bad and had a blockage in my carotid artery. Got stinted and it stopped
My first episode of this aura,, i can not remember anything.! Im asking my mom things like do i have a job, where do i work, what my birhday is.. I think she was freaked out then.. But we were so poor then..😢

You have some good points in this video, however you forgot to mention the biggest secret of all; wearing a plus for near work which would eliminate accommodation thus preventing and in some cases reversing myopia. Why is this never talked about?
Thank you doctor
I am 47 and have suffered for 4 years now after an inflammation episode in 2019. My left eye has black floaters everywhere and right eye has a few also. Every second of the day when the eyes are open I am suffering. Non-stop anxiety. Life is not normal anymore. Please help.
I'm going through the same situation. After being infected by covid-19 in 2022, I had an inflammation and started seeing these large floaters, especially in my left eye. My life changed drastically, and there is no such a day that I don't notice them. And they are getting worse and worse. So, I know what you are suffering, man. Hope we have a solution for this in the future.
@@ricardogiovani5511try pineapple
I too now experience anxiety every time I see him
Its so common and people dismiss it butbits also a sign of occular melanoma and yes sorry u will loosebur vision
The video is difficult to understand and does not get straight to the point.
They almost trail behind the movement of the outer eye, they move with the eye but there is a delay so if you move your eye just right you can put the b@stard right in the center of your vision if not for a second, I got one and i call him the double f-ker because it got these 2 circles then squiggly line. I hate him and he bugs me and I only had these floaters for 2 or 3 months now
Well I got a lot but double fkr is the most identifiable
Good video explaining the floaters and retina detachment process. Just last week I had the surgery for a retina detachment. All went well and now recovering. They had to put a silicone oil in the eye vice a gas bubble due to the elevation change between the outpatient location and my home of residence.
Do you have floaters?
Anyone tried magnesium? Did it work?
Vitreactomy is save now bamonte doctor on italy do a lots of successful surgery
I can't handle my floaters 😢
Thank you doctor, this is the best explanation on the internet ! If you are in your 50's what is the risk of having a PVD later in the other eye ?
My eye Dr. said 80% chance.
@@wendya1250 oh no.. thanks
It can be variable, but the risk goes up with age, about 60% in 60s and 80% in 80s
I later found out I had a pvd in both eyes, its just that only one has the bad floaters so that's good news. @@bostoneyeblink2205
Secret? Begin prevention no later than 20/50. Make your own refractive measurements yourself as a skilled engineer. Then slowly go from 20/50, or -0.75 Diopters to +0.25 Diopters. Or now 20/20. I am a skilled engineer. Why not help me? Helping the public is difficult. Why not help your own children, by wearing a plus lens for near. This is science based prevention.
Leave gluten and it will go away
Doctor, please help us find a cure. It's so annoying to deal with floaters. I'm so sick of it
Do u get anything ? Medicine ??
Get a vitrectomy. Look it up on CZcams. I just had one. No more floaters. 99% gone.
Have you checked out the floater doctor here on CZcams?
@@lillianjaimez7294 where did you get the vitrectomy done ?

my aura's came once without headache any problem
I stopped aura's by drinking a large bottle of water with a heaping teaspoon of Redman sea salt every day. My aura's were without headache and often came in pairs.
I had a stroke in 2016. I had auras just prior to migraines for decades. The stroke presented as the aura that never went away and the headache that never came. The portion of my field of vision where the auras always were I am now blind. After about 4 years, I got an aura in a NEW section of my field of vision. Are auras known to move after all these year? I had anothe new aura last week...
Am really sorry but how are you feeling now
migraine auras are short-lived and last no more than 1 hr. If it's longer than that, you need to see a doctor. Strokes can be hard to differentiate sometimes from a seemingly aura. Good luck
Hi , I have diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis.. every time that happens it’s always when I woke up in the morning I had tiny little fluid pocket in my eye at the end of my eye. I did used antihistamines eye drops and got better every day but haven’t completely gone away. It will stay all day or few hours and resolve and when that happens I use eye drops always. Can u pls help with. suggestions ? Meeka From Australia
great concise information. thanks
Thank you Doctor Ding 🙏😃
The moment I notice light sensitivity and the visual fluttering, I immediately go outside for a brisk walk for 10 minutes and the visual fluttering goes away in about 5 minutes. A full 10 minute fast walk is needed to prevent headache. Luckily I work from home so I'm able to do this.
Is it possible to go blind from this forever?
No brother,@@squareonedocumentary-mjisi6058
What does it mean when I see fluid movement switching from up to down or left to right with 😢floaters as well ? I’m 31 years old
It could be floaters, yes. You should have a dilated exam to make sure your retina is normal
@@bostoneyeblink2205 I have an appointment with a retina specialist today actually, I see floaters and fluid movements
I also have halos and starburst
Same sir
@@iamgoldsales4948how are you now sir
i have no PVD present but got floaters after two years after PRK will this type of floaters settle or fade?
even without PVD, many people experience floaters. they most often fade or become less noticeable, unless new floaters form
@@bostoneyeblink2205Why do you lie? They don't fade.
@@waynepayne9875 @bostoneyeblink2205 deniying reality.
@@waynepayne9875 l don't know why so many optometrists and ophthalmologists state confidently that the brain will get used to them, or that they will fade and even go away. When something keeps moving, the brain - certainly my brain - keeps noticing them, and where are they supposed to go? Isn't the eye a closed system? I could see every floater l developed since l was ten. When both eyes developed the worst floater of all, i.e. Weiss ring, l got vitrectomies, and now rest in peace.
thank you some of my floaters are less bothersome but i have few that are only becoming darker i don't understand but again i believe that it happened because of PRK surgery @@bostoneyeblink2205
its absolutely torture! its happening to me every day, i like my computer, but i cant see the screen sometimes.
Wow. Seriously? How are u handlin' it now?
@@imperez669 How often are you getting auras now? Have you found out triggers and what are you doing to avoid the auras
I've had a stroke and mini stroke,,I had to have a CT scan and during the CT scan I saw a purple circle and what looked like to me was purple fireworks, yes I asked if the machine was torn up, today I had zigzag lines around my right eye rainbow color and water like movement. No migraine, now what should I do?
the zigzag line is typical for migraine aura. Some people can have aura without a headache. If you have not already, please see your doctor to rule out other causes of the visual disturbance.
when i get too stressed, i get a headache and then i get a migraine aura that covers my entire field of vision and i was technically blind during this
not common, but some aura can present in the entire field, making you see tunnel vision.
I can handle the headache,, the nauseous feeling,, but whenever im having an aura,, I get so scared! I feel like im going blind.. Then,, i lose consciousness.. I felt so weak and my memory's blurry,,
I've had migraine aura for about 19 years. It always comes-on suddenly, with no warnings; although, most of the time, I can tell when it's going to start. I had a Whiplash incident about 5 years before I started having these episodes - never had them growing -up, so I believe they were triggered by neck and head injury. Anyway, I had stroke-type symptoms last year - which really concerned me. I had to be rushed to the ER. This had never happened before. I was really scared at that point. I had taken an anxiety drug, magnesium Bysglicinate, and Coq10, prior to going to the ER. While I was on the hospital bed for a little while, the symptoms started subsiding. The Doctor came in and talked to me, but passed me off like I was lying about my condition. I live in a small, rural community- where they take health lightly. Now, I'm going to the Chiropractor. The Auras are not as bad as before, but recently they are occurring more frequently. I have had an eye exam, but the EYE Doctor said that I have no eye diseases or retinol detachment. I have noticed that staying hydrated with water and electrolytes help them alot. I also have to stay away from processed foods, caffeine, carbs, and sugar. I have also found that getting better sleep has helped, and taking Tylenol.
You already found triggers to your migraine on your own. Avoiding such triggers would be the first step for preventing migraines. A headache specialist could be very helpful
Omega 3 plus vitamin a cleared my dry eyes right up. Took about 4 weeks. No more eye drops now. Hope this helps others.
