Myodesopsies: vitreal moving floaters 13 October, 2015 - Comments (0)

miodeopsie

With “vitreal floaters” we intend the visual disorder due to which we have the feeling of seeing some dark floating objects, of various shapes, that escape when we try to stare at them.

The floaters are caused by the densification of jelly structure in vitreous body , filaments of various shapes are formed , that fluctuate projecting a shape upon the retina. Those objects are more or less visible depending on their density, conditions of light of the environment and surface we are staring at. they are more visible looking at bright surfaces, or in presence of strong lighting , as for example blue sky or white wall. Very often they can be visible in conditions of low lighting and with eyes closed.

This disorder is mainly due to age, connected with other factors as shortsightedness, ocular trauma, metabolic disorders.

What to do

Although they are not dangerous for sight, we cannot underevaluate myodesopsies, so it is a good advice to go to the eye doctor for a deep visit. Nowadays it doesn’t exist a specific cure for the treatment of myodesopsies. However , some simple advices can be taken to mitigate the bothering and to slow down its evolution . To choose a nutritional supplement made of mineral salts, vitamins and amino acids could be a valid help , like Optovitreo di OptoX. The aim is to stimulate collagen of the kind II, naturally present in vitreous, regeneration, to protect the collagen fibers and tissues against the attack of harmful enzymes and to potentiate the defenses.

It is fundamental to have a “postive” behaviour that helps a lot in coexistence with this disorder. It is necessary to ignore the myodesopsies, vitreal floaters trusting in brain’s adaptability that, with time passing, learns to eliminate these images. Futhermore we recommend to go on a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and poor in animal fats and to drink a lot of water.
