About this video:
Hi I'm optometrist Martin Oguzie and this is Martin's Eye Tips. In this video, I will give you my quick update after using bromelain every day for the last 3 months. I'm keeping this one nice and short. In the quest to experience eye floaters no more, sufferers are trying all manner of things. As an optometrist and an eye floater sufferer myself, I have taken it upon myself to look into and try a select few products that appear to have some research-based support for their benefit. Bromelain pineapple extract is one such product that is being talked about a lot, so I'm trying it and sharing my observations from an eye care professional's point of view.

You should have continued taking it. The movement is already a good sign. Becoming more fluid is also a good sign, that means they are dissolving. Been taking bromelain for almost 2 years now and let me tell you, 95% of my floaters are gone except for a small one that is previous a large weiss ring.
Thanks, I'm mentioning this comment in my next video. That's helpful to know.
How was you bromelain intake routine like for that time span?
@@meyetips really excited for your next video
I am 25 and experiencing bad floaters, what’s a good supplement? What do you use? Link me them! I tried eating pineapple cores today
How old are you if I may ask and how much do you take?
man, you're the best i was so depressed about floaters since 6 months but now that i follow you i get a bit of hope
Thank you, it’s important to stay positive and know that others are going through the same thing. Encouraging each other is important too.
@@meyetips I have similar floaters as you do by your drawing. Been researching this for a while and I think this supplement thing might be doing something good. It probably makes your vitreous fluid more smooth which eventually should start to break up the collagen build ups (floaters). But the interesting thing here that I see nobody mentions and which would make your vitreous even more smoother, is guess what? Eye exercises. I think regular eye exercises would be even more benefitial than any kind of vitamins. I started doing the standard ones (focus change, eye ball movement in all possible directions) about a 15 days ago and will report how it's going.
@@siberianbluehusky8734 how your floaters right now ? please reply
@@siberianbluehusky8734 how's your vision now bro please update
@@siberianbluehusky8734 give reply
I think stress is main reason behind eye floaters and flashes. Stress causes increased production of free radicals and cortisol in body, cortisol causes inflammation in whole body and free radicals causes degenerative changes in vitrious humour gel that lead to increased floaters in eyes. All these enzymes and amino acids are known to reduces cortisol level in body and has antioxidant effect which reduces free radicals. Kindly explore more about it and let us know your openion. Thank you
Thanks, I have some thoughts on this. However, I would like to look into it more like you suggest and hopefully incorporate it into video I’m the near future.
I had my head down painting baseboards bent over as I can’t get on my knees. I sprung a big floater with all the pressure in my head. Never do that.
Thanks for update. I started daily eating ~200g of pineapple last year (based on the Taiwan study). My horrible floaters improved quite a bit, but it took a few months. In May of this year (2020) I stopped eating pineapple just because I got lazy, and now (December) my floaters are back with a vengeance, so I am back on the pineapple regimen... for good.... until something better comes along.
That’s interesting, thanks for sharing.
@@meyetips - 10 days into the renewed pineapple regimen and I see a difference already. Floaters still there, but not quite as dramatic as before.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you will get better.
Did you try Bromelain?
I'm using it for a month now, planning to do that for 7 months.
@@Moonwalker86 pineapple contains bromelain. The bromelain in pineapple is more effective than the bromelain supplements.
I wonder what would happen doing a say 10 day pineapple juice fast? Juice fasting is pretty powerful as it is and some people improve floaters, make it pineapple juice for the specific floater-improving effects. Could be interesting.
Thanks. My friend tried it also and she got the same results. She said they are way more movable. A year later she still has floaters.
Don't be depressed about floaters. I had so many floaters they nearly blocked my vision. I had a vitrectomy operation, and my vision and vitreous were clear and brand new.
how long ago
did you get the virectomy ?
@@Sunshowers902 10 years ago. My first tiny floater came back after 1 month. I have a few floaters now, but nothing too distracting. The Drs say it is impossible that any floaters came back, but they are wrong.
Thanks for sharing and the encouragement.
@@stretchwith have you had any problems with cataracts since then? I heard that you eventually get cataracts if you had a vitrectomy.
@@julianventer814 I dont think any cataracts have returned. I do have a handful of floaters. The Dr said that was impossible, but obviously Drs are still learning. I had millions of floaters before.
Well, this is amazing. I remember having pretty significant floaters a few months back. My favorite dessert is cottage cheese with pineapple chunks in it. I have been eating this for the last several months about 3 to 4 times a week. I had not noticed until watching this video but my floaters are almost gone! How cool is that?
Wow, I’m happy for you. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, please tell me how many slices do you eat from Annanas every day? I am suffering from Floaters since the nineties, i am coping with it although it's worser than 20 years ago, but you and other people gave me more hope to ease or get rid of my floaters. Thnx for sharing your experience.
the floater doc will sap them for you ask your doctor
Bromelin is not contained in the fruit of ananas but only in the plant. Cheese is also inflammatory.
You should use Bromelin and see what happens
Wow food cravings, the bodies way of telling you what it needs.
I've had floaters forever (40 years at least) and, while they are just irritating not critical, I appreciate these videos. I just heard of this while taking the Maui Gold pineapple factory tour in Maui. I guess this substance is primarily in the part of the pineapple you don't normally eat so supplementation is required if you are trying to affect floaters. We'll see but thanks for doing this. If you can do a talk analyzing the studies that would be great.
Try cupping on your collarbones, thanks me later. Also clean your pancreas and liver, because floaters are indicators that these organs aren’t functioning good. Silymarin tincture without alcohol for the liver, and moringa with ginger for the pancreas, avoid cheese, sugars and refined salt.
Hi! Did you have an improvement?
@@simone2895 Nope.
@@jcgmba98 thanks for the answer, in case something happens please tell me cause i’m lost😩
Actually bromelain is present in pineapple juice. Which means bromelain is present in all the parts we eat.
I took MSM to open up the vitreous humor. Immediately I noticed the itchiness subsided and I got clearer vision and the inflammation in my left eye where the Weiss circle is swimming around subsided. I take 800 mg of bromelain before going to bed since ophthalmologist say in rem sleep there are more chances of retinal,detachment and bromelain can minimize the risks. I again added 500 mg of bromelain after three months use. I noticed the Weiss circle isn't that noticeable. It isn't as stark and defined. It has become a blurry circle although there are rare instances that it can appear stark. The flashes after three months have calmed down but I occasionally get them at dusk or when in dark places. I heard papain or taking papaya amplifies the effect of pineapple in dissolving protein. This makes sense. I eat papaya but pineapple is too acidic so I take bromelain instead. I can't agree with you more doc that I got this not only because of my myopia n advancing age but more from watching too much stuff in the computer screen during lockdown ....nothing to do. Now I placed anti blue light on all my gadget screens and I wear anti blue light shades outdoors. I also try to walk and limit browsing or watching t.v. . I do weights and it hasn't increased my floaters or flashes. But i avoid jogging. Hope in 6 months to a year floater disappears completely.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience Ilog, it’s very interesting.
What is MSM?
@@spextrekid9410 you can buy them in eye drops for floaters. I’ve tried for a month now three times and nothing has changed.
I add that I heard Vitamin E (800 units/day) helps. Maybe Vitamin C helps too. Vitamin A? I say Vitamin C as collagen is a protein and acids (ascorbic acid = vit. C) breaks down proteins (like the collagen in the floaters), and Vit. C seems to be something your body can absorb and not become too acidic as a result. (Just a theory.) It took a LONG time to develop floaters, maybe it takes a LONG time to get rid of them.
Hi, please keep on with the experiment. I am doing it with you. I've been taking bromelain for around 3 months also. I started off with fresh pineapple which was a bit messy. Then I got the same capsules as you. Now I have some with quercetain as well. I also take mesozezanthin with the lutein etc and the omegas. I think my floaters are moving more also and I was disappointed but hope things are improving. I'm going to take bromelain for a year. I think anything with health can be slow. I agree what somebody says about doing eye exercises as well. I've been wanting to do eye exercises but I have had a blocked tear duct for ages and I have dermatitis on one of my eyebrows which doesn't help with any kind of massage.
I have resumed taking Bromelain again for the next few months. I’ll report back any significant developments. Thanks.
how r u doing these days? Still taking it? How are the results so far?
Do you have any results?
HI any updates?
I've been taking Bromelain continuously now for about several months and the same brand as he showed but not showing improvement for me. I'm going to carry on though
My advice to get rid of floaters is to keep running and exercise
I am doing the same thing but by eating pineapple. I don't know what the dose should be so I am eating one fifth to one quarter of a pineapple per day. I am not expecting results but I don't mind giving it a go. The floaters in my case appeared quite quickly, I went to a specialist eye clinic and they said not to worry but to keep it under control and return in a few months. I will keep at the pineapple or get bromelain but I am bearing in mind what you said here.
The center core of the pineapple is where most of the Bromelain concentration resides. FYI I recommenced slicing it thinly using a filet knife. My local Publix supermarket throws the cores away when making fruit trays , so i asked them package the cores only as a special order request.
Thank you for doing this; please continue and let us know the quantity you recommend.
Here's a question for you guys. Did any of you actually improved with their floaters just by time? Let's say weeks, and months? Doctors say they tend to settle at the bottom of your vision overtime and/or that your brain learns how to cancel them and you don't notice them so much. I wonder if that actually happens to people or if they say that so you stay more calm and not so anxious about them. So what are your experiences with just waiting?
Having had floaters for decades which are still in exactly the same location with exactly the same strength, my advice is take action. I've just ordered Bromelain capsules because I'm fed up of them.
Hi, I remember first having mine suddenly appear one day aged 20. I had started a degree in Architecture which meant long hours and late night staring at a white sheet of paper on a drawing board and close work when line drawing. They bothered me a bit at first but I got so used to them that I only just remembered I have them when looking at eye video's randomly. They didn't get much worse either. (I'm 50 now).
mine are gradually increasing
Personally, time has not Im promoted my floaters in the slightest. Ive read some some folks 'a brains do a better job or filtering them than others- so far mine is not up to the job.
They sink if you tie bricks to them that’s it
I’m about to try this again, only on a new theory;
I read about the studies on this and most doctors say that bromelaine breaks down in the gut, and cannot actually get into the blood stream and subsequently, the eyes. This seems reasonable, but the studies with fresh pineapple report 70%+ participants reporting positive results.
Then I remembered that heart patients who use nitroglycerine tablets use them by dissolving the tablet under the tongue.
So my theory, is the useful bromelain is absorbed into the bloodstream in the mouth, not the gut (perhaps slower eaters who savor their pineapple see better results?) so my plan, as I do not have easy access to fresh pineapple, is to dissolve bromelain tablets under the tongue. Probably 2 tablets per day for 3 months. I have many large floaters which are extremely distracting, so if there is *any* effects I should be able to easily tell.
I will try and report back in a few months as to my findings.
so? how is the progress?
@@eLasmc took forever for my Bromelain to get here in the mail, so today was the first day. The tablets I got dissolve pretty well with no nasty taste, so it should at least be easy to tolerate doing the experiment. After the fact I thought it might be good to see if you can get bromelain enzime drops, but I’ve not looked for them yet.
@@eLasmc I have now found an alcohol free liquid bromelain extract (alcohol can denature enzymes) so I’ve ordered that and will be using that under the tongue and simply taking the tablets.
@@eLasmc Update on the Bromelain experiment:
I think it *slightly* worked, the floaters seemed to get less distinct and annoying, but they certainly did not go away entirely. Once I stopped using the pills and tablets, (ran out of my supply) the (marginal) benefits seemed to fade, and my floaters are about like they always were. *maybe* the largest clumps have thinned out a bit, but it’s hard to say for sure.
Maybe a *years* long regimen, with actual fresh pineapple, would work, but I can’t realistically test that myself, as fresh pineapple is to rare and expensive where I live.

I take 500 mg a day in a tablet form.
I use a good quality natural supplement and it has almost totally removed my floaters in both eyes over the space of about 6 months after having both cataracts and lens replacement surgery.
Which one you using please?
Hi Nancy ..500mg if what ?
Hi Nancy ... I had lens replacement in June and have been left with floaters. So sounds like we have something in common. Can you confirm kindly what supplement you took ?
Hello Nancy, please what bromelain supplement do you take/ did you take for the eye floaters. I'm having a lot of issues with mine as they are quite large in number in both of my eyes. Please if you could respond that would be a blessing thank you
Did u take it on an empty stomach or with food? And what time of the day?
How about Bromelaine Eye Drops? Seems like that would be more direct. 👁 👁
In the few studies done on pineapple helping with eye floaters, though not perfect the studies did seem to indicate that 300 grams of pineapple a day did help a majority of people though it didn't help everyone so perhaps it might be dependent on the reasons why you have them but this is just me speculating.
i hope you keep up with Bromelain. love to see how it turns out for you. thank you
I did runout but will be ordering more and continuing for a while longer.
Nice video, keep up updated, please. There's a new paper from Taiwan where they did a research on the effect of bromelain, papain and ficin combined. The results are preety good, and in the paper It has some pretty impressive imagery taken from the subjects. Good stuff
I’ll try and track that research down and have a look, thanks.
@@meyetips that's awesome. A video about it would be great
Was the paper about their effect on floaters? Do papain & ficin also dissolve floaters?
Yes i have read it i wrote them but they did not tell me they may provide the solutions to me
By the way, I did the yag laser treatment, It worked
Not just bromeliad.
The research is done on Bromelain, Papain and Ficin Combo.
Bromelian 250mg , Papain and Ficin should be 100mg each.
Are you still taking it?
I have started taking it again, yes.
@@meyetips It IS a bad thing. Bromelain contains enzymes that break down proteins, etc., in other words, breaking down the collagen of the vitreous, not a good thing. Bromelain also increases the risk of BLEEDING. Increasing bleeding will give your horrible, large, dangerous floaters.
@@DDumbrille why you says that? And what about taking fresh pineapple ?
@@meyetips what do you think about @DouglassD comment?
My mom had one big floater at the age of 30. It has dissolved completely after a few months. Just wanted to share some hope! ❤
I do have some floaters, didn't knew what they were so I never gave attention to them. Always thought it had to do with my contact lenses. A few month's ago I had some real stress at work - afterwards I noticed only one floater a few times, not really bothering me. As I knew what it was I saw quite a lot of them, bothering me since then. I do have hope, that we'll ALL heal from our little annoying friends eventually!
I'm also about to try some emotional healing as I belief that our soul is deeply connected to our body. Might sound a little strange but who knows, right?
How old are you ?
@@sunethsilva2720 25, you?
@@beanpoleincontrol 43 I think mine because of head trauma I guess, doctor told me to come back after 5 months . Mine has a very disturbing floater really bad life getting difficult I am depressed. 😭
@@sunethsilva2720 I know what you’re going through! I started to read a lot and watch a lot about health. I recommend Dr. Berg.
Our bodies are so individual and every single thing could cause the floaters. Some have cured them through pineapple, some through carnivore and others by taking different supplements. Listen to your body and it‘ll give you the solition!
Might tale some time, but no disease is incurable! Only humans are incurable if they won’t let the body do it‘s work.
I have been taking bromelain for two months (1500 mg per day) and have noticed considerable changes in my floaters (I really don't know if that is good or bad)
My floaters that were like black dots have increased in size and have started to take on a grey tone instead of black. My floaters that were like cobwebs have started to expand and become almost transparent.
I don't know if it is really bromelain that has caused these changes or other factors. My hope is that somehow my floaters will dilute and be less annoying, unfortunately I am 20 years old and 70% of my vision is affected.
I think you should continue with the treatment for at least 3 more months to see if it really has any effect or not, also I have read that some people have taken taurine (1000mg per day) and it has helped them in some way by reducing the size of their floaters.
Thanks for the suggestions Santiago. That’s very interesting, I appreciate you sharing it. Keep us updated on your progress if possible. Thanks 🙏🏾
Have you tried can-c eye drops?
Any updates????
@@Vistapro97 Unfortunately I have not been able to continue taking bromelain because I have had stomach problems, if anyone is going to take bromelain I advise you to take it in low doses or eating pineapple slices. Some say it doesn't work, others say it does...I would try it for at least a few months.
If your floaters were small and black and later bigger and more transparent it might be caused they moved farther from retina. This is how optics work, because what you can see is not the floater itself, but its shade on retina.
I been taking 1 pill of 500mg Bromelain and fresh slice of pineapple for the past 3 months now. I think I shouldn’t have done this experiment since It made my floaters way more worse than it was when I first started. The floaters are moving a lot more freely and seeing more dark floaters on both of my eyes. I think Bromelain made my vitreous more liquid which is a bad thing since I heard the risks on getting nuclear cataract or 15-20% chance of open-angle glaucoma if the vitreous liquify quickly.
I also found that my floaters appeared to move more after taking Bromelain. Of course, I don’t know if that was 100% due to Bromelain.
iam using gingko biloba suplemet every morning. and 3 hours before sleep i eat 1 fresh carrot and tomato. iam doing this less than 1 month. now my vision is much more clear, almost forgot all of my floaters. theyre still there but much more unnoticable
Thanks for sharing Arief.
How is now ginkgo biloba dissolve eye floaters? Pealse replay me iam 20 years old suffing from floters
For eye floater used 2-3 slice of pineapple or juice of pineapple minimum 3 months as study show currently in US.
Has to be fresh pineapple or juice though. If it's pasteurised the bromelain is denatured.
And?
@@craigh.9810 If the pineapple is cooked and the bromelain is denatured, it won't have any effect at all. It's an enzyme.
Eye floaters is caused by getting sick and most specifically gastrointestinal disease! Bromelain acts as hydrochloric acid which helps the digestion of food you eat all day! The improved digestion helps you feel better and helps prevent new floaters from forming. The gut-eye axis is weird but everything is connected in the body it should be no surprise now how a brief infection in the gastrointestinal tract can cause damage to the vitreous humor of the eye. Huh weird! But otherwise true. I got eye floaters after taking bad probiotic supplements which gave me fever dreams. Within two weeks I had floaters and migraines. My gut damage and the immune response damaged everything in my body. Keep up your research doc!
Thank you.
Hello doctor, I am also going to try bromelain, there are many types but I decided on 500 mg and 600 Gdu capsules, accompanied by 1,000 mg taurine. What you do is very admirable and I hope we have positive results.
Thank you Sebastian 🙏🏽
Any progress?
I have been taken pineapple for one month. What you said is true the floaters are moving more quickly now, maybe there are more quantities of floaters because I think the floaters are breaking in smaller pieces and this is the reason why it could be less darker, pineapple is known and used in the kitchen to break meats tissues, and before the recent research, I thought why they don't research Papaya because they use it for the same usage, if what I'm noticing is not an illusion I think a good diet that includes Penaple and some critics such as vinegar and lemon could be the definitive solution, finally if I have any update I will keep posting.
Thank you, that’s interesting.
@@Hana-wm9ij Eyes floaters are Pyscial and Psychological problem, saying that with time you start to ignore them, please dont get obsessed with them, maybe pineapple helped me or Bromalin could help, but as I am saying with time, you will start to ignore them..I still have them but now they are not a problem for me, they dont bothered me anymore, my suggestion start to focus on your life enjoy it, and when you see them dont feel frustrated or depressed..they will go with time..best of luck

Hi doc appreciate your videos I have been seeing a lot of floaters on both my eyes for the past 4-5 months I did go see a doctor he said my retina is fine. Anyway I took pineapple for about 70days and I must say the floaters have become lighter and I can see through them much better(Still have them though but certainly the pineapple is helping). Latest study in Taiwan has shown that fig and papayas may also help floater but I have no idea about that anyway I am going to continue with pineapple till the end of this year.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you very much for the update. There is this guy from world of floaters who had a very good result with bromelain you should check out his video. Personally im also experience an increase in floaters and faster movement but i have them only since 5 weeks and am taking bromelain for a month. And just a question here but if your floaters move faster and the vitreous got more fluid shouldnt they sink faster out of sight? But again thank you for sharing all this here.
Thanks for the suggestions and I agree that it makes sense that floaters could sink below the line of sight because the vitreous breaks down and becomes more fluid. I didn’t actually think along those lines, thanks.
How are your floaters?
hey update please
I took it for 3 months didn't notice any difference, but will continue. for me the fast movement is something I notice when my heart rate is a bit faster. After caffeine especially.
@Rebecca Pemberton i will try that!
@Rebecca Pemberton how often do take liquid bromelain?
Any improvements now?
@@RebeccaPembertonhi can you tell me how to use thanks
Do you think it matters if the Bromelain is an Enteric coating on the capsule or not? I have been reading that the stomach acid could destroy the Bromelain before it reaches the small intestine.... I'm not a doctor so I don't know! It doesn't look like the product you were using has that coating.
I don’t think the Bromelain is under any more risk than the vitamins in many other supplements. It may help to take it with food if in doubt.
Thanks! Have a great day, man!
Have you continued taking the bromelain since? What were your results? (Thank you for your videos.)
thank you for sharing your result doctor🙏🏽.
I usually drink a lot of water every day and my floaters move fast enough without using pineapple. I just want to know how much water do you drink per day? because maybe (just maybe) Shortage of drinking watter can make Vitreous solid.
I definitely don’t drink enough water. I have maybe 2 cups and 2 cups of tea/coffee per day. 7-8 cups of water (not including tea/coffee) is recommended daily I believe.
I don't drink enough water and today I asked me the same thing - can they floaters disappear if I'm starting to drink more water every day ... I will give it a try.
My floaters increased the most during the lockdown here in Austria, I felt very stressed with all of that.
I hope something will help to overcome this floaters. I think I am utterly too young for this ...

@@meyetips am I understanding this correctly... once your vitreous become 100% fluid the floaters should disolve and/or settle down at the bottom of the eye?

Did you ever get clarity on why floaters may appear to move faster etc? I want to believe it’s a good thing.
Thanks for sharing Imogen. At the time I thought I was imagining the fact that my floaters were moving more, but a lot of people like yourself also, are reporting the same thing. I’ve not got round to researching it anymore, but I intend to.

@@sunandsparklecreations did you have any luck after 3 months?
Hi, you haven't posted in a long time. I wanted to ask if the movement of the floaters is still as fast now or has it returned to normal after you stopped taking bromelain. Thanks.
I started getting Ocular migraines in June 2020. No pain just a weird kaleidoscope appeared over my visual field. My neurologist told me to take a good B vitamin complex and Magnesium and I have had only one episode since I started this. I was also told to take B vitamins by my dentist for burning mouth and tongue. It helped this also. Amazing.
Great to hear that your visual auras were helped. I take magnesium supplements occasionally myself, the benefits can be widespread.
Did it helped for floaters
I have ocular migraines also. I have found that if I immediately chew two aspirin as soon as I see one coming on, it will either stop it or greatly reduce it.
Burning mouth and tongue is a sure sign of a B deficiency.
I started getting crazy ocular migraines too a few years back and definitely have a lot of floaters. Always wondered if they were related (chicken or the egg). Did you see your floaters decrease ok b vitamins and magnesium as well? Thanks!
If anyone drinks alcohol on a set daily basis,, that will keep the floaters going strong for sure..and making new designs as if pouring dye through a curvy straw..
It is so much better to put fresh pineapple in a smoothie. Even an inch of the spine - the woody bit- is a good idea. The tinned usually has this removed and it has the highest concentration.
Fresh pineapple needs to be taken mindfully, it has a natural exfoliating property, which can in excessive amounts lead to a tender, or even sore mouth.
Thanks Debra.
that is WHY i can't EAT fresh pineapple I get irriation in my mouth but I CAN eat pineapple in cottage cheese but its NOT raw then and its doesn't bother me at all
Hello doctor, I think that the movement is due to a better fluid in the components of the eye. It is a good idea if accompanied by bromelain you could do some visual exercises so that the floaters begin to dissolve.
What visual exercises do you think would be most helpful in the case of dissolving eye floaters?
What are visual exercises?
Are floaters made of protein?
You definitely need to take a much higher dose and for a lot longer to see results. I have been taking it for almost a year and I notice improvement. They are a lot lighter in color/ more transparent. Recently I started taking papaya, garlic and other protease enzymes and it seems to have given it a bit of a turbo boost. Now I have some evidence it’s actually breaking them down. One used to be a straight dark line in the middle of my vision, now the top half is starting to curl over and bend which I take as evidence the enzymes are working to break them down. I agree they also move more but I’m ok with that considering my big one could not have been in a worse spot, right down the center of my vision. Now it often swooshes to the side. I have also noticed some new floaters and I wonder if the Enzymes may be making more of them. But I’m staying the course for while. Overall they have improved a lot. I’m a pilot so my vision is important to me. There was a time years ago when the main one would freak me out in the air thinking it was another plane! I’m glad at least that doesn’t happen any more:) Recently I’ve been experiencing with Ozonated eye drops (Ozonest brand) I think they may be helping them fade and get lighter as well.
Which daily dose of bromelain and which brand do you recommend?
I cured my floaters 100 percentage using following way in 4 months ---
Most important - 3 big slices of pineapple 2times a day for 2 month then 1 slice for 1 time to avoid any side effects of pineapple overeating --
1. Drink lots of water
2. Drink 1 glass of water before sleep & in between sleep if you awake drink water
3. Sleep for 9+ hours 1/2 + hour afternoon & sleep without pillow
4. Keep eyes always hydrated (not dry) use water to wash eye (6/7 times a day) to hydrate
5. Fasting (no food) one day per week.. fruit+water allowed
6. Don't squeeze or use fingers or any eye related exercise.. just keep natural eye movement. Should not give any stress on eye.. also don't cough heavily to avoid eye pressure
7. Avoid tv/mobile/laptop as much possible
8. Add fruit in dailt - I eat 5 fruit everyday
9. Run for 15 minutes everyday
10. Take 1 spoon of ghee everyday
11. Start Ayurvedic Treatment (mostly specialist in eye)
12. Sleep on face down posture for 1/2 hours every day
Super interesting. Thanks.
I confirm it work , i mean my opearation like him except eat pineapple . I run for 30 minutes everyday and i noticed that it make floaters gone to improve.
Desi ghee is also good for eyes . Btw Noah are you 100% cured now???
What did the Ayurvedic treatment consist of?

I am experiencing floaters at age 22, you are not alone
Mine popped at 27 and scared the shit outta me. God bless you. Hope we will be cured!
Iam experiencing since 2013 and now 2023
Inshallah we will get one day a good treatment with out surgery or lezer
Doctor you are Amazing thanks for help us witj this horrible condition 😢 god bless you forever ❤
How you got floaters
@@mayankrai8077 after a lasik
Only bromelain is not enough, supplement can harm, better take pineapple fruit. I am eating 150gm approx pineapple daily from 1 month and find that my floaters dark to lighter in appreance.
Hi, is bromelain got benefit with you now
Is it better to take bromelain on an empty stomach or with food? Ive been taking it on an empty stomach one day and the other day with food but not sure which is better
And im taking it once a day (500mg) would that be good or do i need to take more dose per day?
Please continue sir - for the sake of the common person's science and us all!
I'm very skeptical of the people claiming that it takes a year or two for the bromelain to work. Is there any other drug treatment that takes that amount of time to work on the body? I've heard of it taking a month before a drug takes its full effect, but not an entire year before you notice anything. I'm not a doctor so correct me if I'm wrong but that just seems like a huge rationalization to make the claim totally unfalsifiable. All I know is these floaters are effectively blinding me. I've had one or two since I was a little kid, slowly developing more as I got older. They peaked at around age 16 and I hadn't been bothered with new ones for the next ten years, and learned to live with what I had. Then last year I was hospitalized for covid and a few weeks after getting out I started getting a massive increase in floaters, and they continue to get worse every week or so. They're so big and so dark and I'm at the point now where a floater is pretty much always in my field of vision. It seems like I'm getting the opposite effect of what you're describing in this video, like the floaters get harder and harder to move away from my field of vision. I tried to increase my consumption of pineapple by a bit since I heard about this study but I haven't been able to do it very consistently. I'll try it but I'm not doing it for a year. I'll be blind by then probably. Anyway I'm just venting. I really don't have anything to add other than good luck to everyone suffering from this.
All supplements take months to do anything for eye floaters. Haro Clear which is the best pill to take after doing research on this as it combines 9 ingredients into 1. They says results will happen between the third and six month. There is also No guarantee this pill will help someone
man, you're the best!
Thanks for the video, have you had any progress or success since making this video?
hello doctor, where can we find bromelain? I really need it
hello Martin I too am just today labeling my first bottle of Bromelain extract. after letting it sit for 6 weeks' I used Pineapple Vodka 80 proof & pure cane sugar I have read there are many benefits so I will follow your experiment's Thank you for your input! Linda
I have visual snow syndrome, which means that my brain can't process unnecessary visual stimuli as before, and that has left me with a ton of visual disturbances, were the worst one is the static, but something else that we with VSS or HPPD gets is that we start seeing a ton of floaters and blue field entopic phenoma. Prior to getting this i saw two worm like ones when looking at the sky, now there's atleast twelve, and 6-7 of them are circles bunched together, they're real annoying.
I'm going to try the same experiment. 500mg supplements per day. Just a question, do you think eye dilation drops can cause floaters? I had a significant increase directly after my appointment. I'm due to see an ophthalmologist next week and I'm anxious about the drops. Just adding to your point on bromelain reducing the "darkness" of floaters, I heard that from another source that did the 3 month experiment. I have around a dozen floaters in each eye and they're either dark blobs of joined bubbles, bright dark spots or stringy dark vertical lines (the worst ones for me). I hope it does reduce the darkness. I'm from the UK too so can I come to your practice instead because you're the only expert with a darn academic interest in this 😂
Keep us posted with your progress Liam. Feel free to connect with me on FB. Thanks
Ooooooh me too
I have same thought, even I told my friend that I felt my floaters are much worse than before appointment yesterday !!
This happened to me too. I started with one floater, went for the eye retina examn and left with more. Had another exam after 4 days because i had some eye pain, and then even more floaters. So i don't know if the drops where the problem or they floaters were just developing on that week. But i've been trying to find any experiences as mine, stating that the examn / dilatation could actually worsen the thing.
@@bugotron same thing happened to me
They put something in your eye to decrease the eye pressure and that allows the floaters into your eye
That’s something they don’t tel you
@@bugotron yes I went to the appointment seeing only 10 bubbles and the next couple of days had hundreds more and large streaks. I thought the exam was hard on my eyes due to the bright light shone into them for half an hour and the eye movements : had to rotate them to all angles several times while the light was used.
Eat pineapple instead of bromelain supplement. The study was done with eating pineapple. Have tried you it with 300g pineapple per day or maybe thinking of trying it?
Taking Bromelain as a supplement is not the same as eating fresh pineapple. I would try BOTH before deciding that it doesn't work.
Can pineapple possibly make floaters worse? I am 67. I have had small amoeba like floaters most of my life. Last year when I first saw the article about pineapple possibly making floaters vanish, I thought even if it does nothing to help the floaters, eating pineapple cannot hurt right? So I began eating the recommended amount daily. After one month not only did the floaters not improve, but suddenly i had a gigantic cloud in my left eye and flashes of light in my peripheral vision when I moved my eyes left and right. Fearing a detached retina, I went to the retina specialist. No detached retina but now huge floaters from vitreous gel coming loose from the retina. In another two weeks the same thing occurred to my right eye.
So maybe it is all age related. But if the bromelain in the pineapple does somehow change the consistency and integrity of the gel inside the eye, then maybe it is possible that it can make matters worse and not necessarily better for floaters.
Oh, and on top of the new large floaters, the acid in the pineapple gave me weekly canker sores and acid indigestion.
eating pineapple regularly adds way too much fructose into your system....that alone can have negative consequences...Of course we always want to try and get nutrition from food over supplements if possible but that principle is negated when it comes to high sugar content foods. Plus, and I personally haven't done the research on this, it seems that the bromelain in the quantity necessary for dissolving floaters is found in the fibrous, less edible, part of the plant (much like bioflavinoids are found in the white part of an orange as opposed to the orange itself) and therefore a bromelain supplement is far superior in this case. Additionally it must be taken on an empty stomach, otherwise it is used up digesting your food instead of the floaters. So maybe consider trying a few month experiment again? That is what I recommended to my mom anyway!
PS, also enteric coated survives the stomach so you have a higher chance of utilization...Life Extension is a trustworthy brand imo.
It is not clear how bromelain is acting. Eating pineapple can involve other nutrients, in particular organics with sulfur. Bromelain itself may be changing absorption of sulfur compounds from food. MSM eye drops appear to be very effective and the mechanism is more clear. The floater problem is directly due to glycation of the vitreous collagen and any long term fix to the problem is to control blood sugar levels even if there is no type 2 diabetes involved (yet). If you are insulin resistant then this problem has to be addressed. Intermittent fasting is essential since the modern eating regime (three meals a day plus snacks) is long term toxic.
How can bromelain get into vitreous humor where there is no blood vessel in it?
Yeah,good guestion.It's almost at all absorbed in stomach and do not reach the limpha or blood vessels
I read some time ago that people did do some tests on where they tried to see if the vitreous humour is actually a closed system. They made some tests with alcohol / lipid or something and actually found traces of it in the vitreous. I really don't remember much details about it but I think you can find the study by digging through Google. Regardless, it basically suggests that its not completely closed off, just that only minute amounts of anything get to it.
That is a good question. I talk about that in this pineapple video and how it might czcams.com/video/fgCn32fO6Tk/video.html and the work of Maurice (1957). Timestamp about 8.20 in the video.
I heard for study that eating ananas for 300g per day for 3 months can reduce the floaters by 40% aprox.
I've been taking Bromelain supplements for a month, but I haven't seen any improvement, and I've heard from some people that Bromelain made the situation worse. what do you think i should do
I and others have found that the floaters appear to become more mobile. This could either result in things getting worse or perhaps could be part of the improvement process. I’m not sure, but I intend to look into this some more.
@@meyetips Hi Doctor, my floaters gotten really worse now after taking Bromelain from past 3 months. I have only had 2 dark floaters before starting this experiment but now I have over 5+ dark floaters in each eye. I am 100% sure it is Bromelain that caused this and regret taking it. I went to optometrist which he took a fundus picture including used indirect ophthalmoscope but nothing is found. I immediately stopped Taking Bromelain and hoping to will go back as it was before. If you like I can send my fundus picture.
Btw not only my floaters got worse but also my sister started to see dark floaters after taking Bromelain. The crazy part is that she didn’t had any floaters before. Bromelain should be not used to treat floaters and should post a warning on the packaging.
I noticed it made my floaters more active, and that was just after one week as well. Did your vitreous go back to its previous viscosity when you stopped taking it, or did it remain more liquefied and retain its increased movement?
Perhaps taking fresh pineapple may be more helpful?
You may be right. However they cost more and may cause acid indigestion for many.
The study in Taiwan was done with a supplement that included bromelain, papain and ficin. Is this the same supplement mixture you have used Doctor?
Wish I could find that as a supplement.
Try from shop apotheke from germany
Try from shop apotheke from germany
No it was done with fresh pineapple os what i have read
The dermis makes up 90% of skin's thickness. This middle layer of skin: Has collagen and elastin: Collagen is a protein that makes skin cells strong and resilient. Another protein found in the dermis, elastin, keeps skin flexible.--
Pineapples are the only known food source of bromelain, a combination of enzymes that digest protein. That's why pineapple works as a meat tenderizer: The bromelain breaks down the protein and softens the meat. In your body, bromelain makes it easier for you to digest food and absorb it
Pineapple diet does target the floaters. It needs rigor and persistence though!
What if I am taking Collegan pills for my skin is that the SAME kind of collegen in the eyes and would that be defeating the purpose if I took it and the collegen too?
I have these colorful lights in pattern forms..single curve with different colour..it will appeared in short length and it will take a while to grow longer..by then my eyes will have blur vision..i wonder what do you call it..how do i get treated??..it comes once in a while..pls advise..thank you
Sounds like a visual aura. Often referred to as a visual migraine. May not come with headaches. It is neurological and doesn’t cause damage to your vision. Check out Alan Oellers link in this comment thread too.
Since you are a young man, is there any particular reason why did you start to see floaters. Is it due to any type pf PVD, if yes, then what is the trigger? I am 32 and start to see floaters in January this year and doctor says it is partial PVD bit doesn't tell me what caused it.
Check out my thoughts in my video titled: “Vitreous eye floaters - Is this why so many young people are getting them in 2020?”
I think with supplements and natural remedies it may take a bit longer for results to be seen they are usually small doses of the compound that is potentially helpful for the condition.
That makes sense.
@@meyetips try taking a megadose
people have doing the pineapple experiment and and they too are experiencing faster more fluid floaters , however some say their floaters have gone on to improve. Are you think it is process hydrolysis of floaters ? I mean it is good process , It make floaters move faster is not liquefied gel , it is water from process hydrolysis of floaters . If my thinking is true it can explain why floaters have gone on to improve. My english is bad , i hope you understand what i want to said.
Thanks, I understand what you are saying.
I hope people see this comment because I have found something to help with the eye floaters. For one your eye is mostly water you have to stay hydrated probably quit drinking coffee. But the big one is I’ve been on a carnivore diet and it’s been helping tremendously whether it’s hoping the anxiety from the eye floaters or it’s actually reducing them. I have done the carnivore diet before in the past but this time I have only ate beef I am on day six of eating only beef salt and water and it seems to be reducing my eye floaters tremendously. Trust me my iPhone hours are bad everywhere I look I floaters right in the center of Mayeye peripherals everywhere. Now there is controversy to the carnivore diet but I assure you I’ve never felt so better to be alive. I encourage all of you to research the carnivore diet as it is a very nutritious diet. If you do decide to try this method you will not feel very good for the first month but if you continue you may see benefits as I did. And trust me wow.
Yup I have saw many people claiming reduction of floaters after going on carnivorous diet.
Hope so yours get better
I do wonder if they are something to do with parasites in your vitreous fluid?! Parasites survive off sugar. I wonder if there is any affect on your vitreous fluid when you cut out sugar? Doesn't diabetes create blindness if left untreated so I wonder if there could be a sugar correlation here?
@@1dayfree you might be right. Suger has a lot of bad benefits. It’s useless.
Carnivore diet is the worse diet to recommend here.

Hola señor tomando bromelina que pueden reducir o eliminar las miodesopsias ?
Took it for one month's and discontinued. No effect on eye floaters.
But there is a side effect that my kidney function reduced, luckily this got noticed within month when I did a blood test.
This enzyme has dangerous side effects of kidneys when used for long term. As per my experience do not take first discuss with you doctor.
wish to ask, i myself also floater patient, recently develop back floater. do consuming natural pineapple almost equivalent to taking this bromelain enzyme
Hello sir I think we can not choose for you what is the best thing to do, continue or quit because both of the possibilities are justifiable.
I've noticed some small changes with pineapple eating during 3 months, and like you I have this impression that they are moving faster than before. And one is more transparent (sometimes not).
I've seen other products, composed of "lutein, Zeaxanthin & Meso-Zeaxanthin" which apparently can also be good.
But i don't want to test everything.
I think I will continue pineapple for a while and see what happen.
Thanks for sharing your experience, it is appreciated.
thank you for sharing your result. if you are still using pineapple , can you comment an update for any changes?
I stopped Pineapple ans started bromelain pills since about 50 days now using 3 pills daily. I will continue this beacause I didnt notice lot of changes with Pineapple.
It is too soon for me to say if there is some good results yet
@@user-sp9zd6fw4e any improvement ?
@@abhyu7265 no. I used thoses pills during around 3 or 4 months but it didnt change anything as far as i am cheking. Now i am using another pills and will see if their is any improvment
When I was on carnivore diet I swear they got better. But it was so hard to stick to for me.
Probably due to the L-Lysine in the meat. Try an L-lysine supplement.
I'm 27 years old and I got my floaters 6 month ago. They aren't severe more like medium. I went to a doctor to check my eyes doctor told me there's no need to worry they will go away over time. After 6 month from day 1 of having them the condition improved my floaters aren't as black now they are brown and the big ones got transperent but they are still bothersome and I'm still not happy with my current state.
The first time I notice my floaters they block my vision and were black. I move my eyes fast (up and down) and manage to shake them off from the center and they move to the side STILL they get in my vision when I move my eyes to the left and back but they go back to the side as soon as I stop moving my eyes. I hope that eventualy they will settle at the bottom of my eyes at least the big ones. Still I am grateful that I'm not blind I can still perform as if I don't have them. They are bothersome but they will get better over time.
I’m going through the same thing. It sucks but something that’s helping me is intermittent fasting. You can try that & u can also try wearing sunglasses to lessen the effect at times
@@Namarrr how to do intermittent fasting
@@Peehoo123 basically it’s a fast for 16 hrs each day. You could chose to skip breakfast or dinner I preferably skip breakfast. Example start you meals at about 2pm and between that time and 9pm eat 2-3 meals. At around 9:55 you can take ur vitamin supplements or eat a quick little snack. At 10pm start your fast. Don’t eat anything else until 2 pm the next day. Or you could start in the morning and eat ur meals between 9am-5pm and not eat anything until 9am the next morning. Also important to exercise & have an healthy diet to go along with the fast. My floaters have slowly became lighter and less noticeable.
It does take awhile around 6 months or so and then you just GET USED to them, they don't bother you at all unless you are looking at the sky or something like that I have had them for like 2-3 years now and I don't even NOTICE them they will NEVER go away that is a LIE they may go behind the EYE and hide back there but I don't know if you can ever get rid of them at all with bromelin?
have you considered lasering your floaters sir ?
Not at the current level of floaters that I have (although they are increasing in number it seems). However, I would definitely consider it if things got that bad. I’d hope for a better option emerges before that though tbh.
@@meyetips It's now been what appears to be at least two years since this video. Can you update everyone as to how bromelain affected your floaters? Very hard to find any of this credible when there's no follow up at all.
Hello, is it dangerous if the fluid in your eye actually become more fluid because of the bromelain? I’ve read that there is a bigger risk of posterior vitreous detachment. And if the bromelain dissolve floaters, does that mean it dissolves other important collagen structures too? Im suffering from a lot of floaters in both eyes and looking for a (save) solution.
Hi. The increased movement is something I noticed and wasn’t expecting. Quite a few others have said that they notice the same. In theory we want the movement to get less, but we don’t know if this process is how Bromelain begins to improve things or not (if it can improve things at all). I wasn’t expecting anything to happen. Thjs is something that I will look into some more.
@@meyetips why would you want less movement that means your vitreous would be set up like JELLO
@@alegriart so what do u think about taking bromelain
could you show us how to make diluted atropine at home please ?
Hi, I have to avoid things like that because Atropine is a prescription medication and as a professional, I can’t actively encourage people to manipulate prescription medications themselves. I’m sure you get my point.
@@meyetips not a prescription med in my country hhhh thx
Hi thanks for your video, I have floaters like yours, not a big deal but annoying sure. A vitrectomy for this is not justified right? And the Yag Laser has some resctrictions because this cannot be applied close to the retina. I am eating omega 3, vitrocap, 1 week but no results at all. What else we can do now? Just used to? Are you still looking for a new method? I heard about a new method for induce micro bubbles, non invasive, that they are testing. They did with rabbits and it was satisfactory results.
Vdm project?
So maybe the laser beam system to zap and evaporate floaters is the only real effective floater treatment? You have all seen that right? Again, maybe you need to actually eat fresh pineapple (stems and all) to get really good bromelain enzyme? I have been using/taking the bilberry extract. It has not seemed to have helped much, but maybe a little, and with the same effect of my floaters moving around more, but not gone at all. I will add bromelain to my regimen, see what happens. Pineapple is pretty acidic though, might upset my stomach some. I would like to take bromelain pills. Maybe if I take them just before I eat, they will get past my stomach acid which for sure would degrade the bromelain enzyme, and make it useless.
YAG laser for floaters is an interesting and slightly controversial method, definitely not agreed on by all as highly effective treatment for floaters. Thanks
What if movement is good since they don't normally move? if they are movable, what if they now have potential to get out of the eye? have you tried actual pineapples daily?
Yes, it would be good to know if bromelain extract works
It’s funny how professionals are just as clueless as everyone else, people are getting face transplants but no safe treatments for floaters!
Now that might be the most true and Correct thing said, unfortunately
I have a question so you mentioned how ur floates started to move more and that ment possible vitreous liquefaction. Is this considered bad as my floaters seem to move a lot more too and it was concerning. On this topic what would happen if all your vitreous turned to liquid,
Well, floaters start as the vitreous breaks down and starts to move more. This then causes collegen fibrils to clump together, causing floaters. So in theory, the more they move the more likely that floaters can increase. That was my concern, but I know several people who have reported the same when using Bromelain but their dark floaters still reduced in intensity.
@@meyetips have you ever considered floater laser removal or FOV?
Does it have any beneficial results for controlling floaters?
Hi it has been 7 months please tell me some results I just found out that eye floaters are not normal and I always panic😭
Check out my later video on bromelain.
Try eating pinapple rather than just taking capsules. There may be other micronutrients working together with the Bromelain enhancing the beneficial effects
Try both, not enough Bromelain just in the pineapple.
Can you give us an update on your findings please
Is it dangerous for bromelain to alter in vitrosis density? Could it cause bad consequences
What research there is doesn’t suggest any issues as long as people are not overdoing it. Always follow directions on the bottle and get good quality products if taking supplements.
@@meyetips thanks for your answer.
Have any of you who comment, have ever used FINASTERIDE or SERENOA REPENS (Used generally for baldness and Hair regrowth), I think that maybe could have a connection to develop this problem
I tried bromelain for a few months and it did nothing.
i ate pineapple daily for 7 days and developed a new floater in my left eye(Initially i had only in right eye).I am worried that the floaters are increasing instead of going down.Please help.
Thanks for sharing, I’m very interested in what might be going on in the eye when people take Bromelain. I’m trying to do more research on this.
@@meyetips i guess pineapple helps..this new floater might have developed due to marijuana(cuz it heats the body)
I'm not 100% sure, but i think the reason you've noticed a "new floater" is because an old floater may have dislodged, making it seem like a new one appeared. I noticed this happening after the third day of Pineapple usage (I drink lots of water, and exercise daily) However, i decided to take a break from the pineapple. It was a bit tough for my gastrointestinal system. I'm considering taking the Bromelain supplement now. Any updates Nakiya?
1:07 "taking just one capsule per month"? per.. month?
Thanks, good to know.
