(Following) I have eye floaters as well, one of many symptoms since I was diagnosed with Post Covid Syndrome. My floaters look like black “tree branches” or “spider legs” and they move around. I had an Ophthalmologist tell me that it’s coming from the cerebellum. No other treatment or medication has helped…..yet. I’m on ivermectin and Low Dose Naltrexone.

Floaters may be helped with DMSO eye drops, something to look into…

Which one and is this first hand experience or did you read/hear something?

I read online that “Most floaters are tiny flecks of a protein called collagen.” So perhaps the enzymes in the pineapple help to break up those proteins. I know that bromelain is concentrated in the core of the pineapple.

I am wondering if the enzymes in papaya would also help, since proteases digest proteins. Papaya contains protease called papain.

I know some people correlate floaters with screen use, which probably relates to eye strain. You might try getting away from screens for a few days to see if that makes a difference.

I also have floaters. I’m also a FLCCC member and physician treating Covid etc since 2021. So I’ve learned a lot!! My ophthalmologist told me to get used to it- there’s nothing to do..

I did a search and there are 3 papers peer reviewed out of Japan and Taiwan discussing the use of pineapple and pineapple extracts to treat floaters with up to 80 percent improvement in 3 months! Bromelain is one of the supplements. I’m vacationing now and don’t have access to those papers but if you message me after 2/17, I wil send references to you

Enjoy your vacation, and thanks for taking the time to add to the conversation. Please share links to the papers here, I am sure so many of us would be interested in reading them. 🙂

[Michael Spears]

Thanks for the response. Hope your vacation went well. Do you have links to those papers you referenced?

This post was timely for me. I went to the eye doc yesterday for a “goopy” floater in my left eye that had been there for over a month. Mostly noticable while working on my PC. Scans showed my eyes are healthy. Doc said ignore it. I know about DMSO and I’ve been thinking about using it. But, Bromelain (and more?) sounds safer. Hoping to get more info from this thread, choose a course of a action, and report back.

For the last 4-5 years, the FLCCC and now IMA have given me hope for a better future amidst the rampant corruption in our medical institutions. I know that’s why most of us are here on this forum. Just had to say it in my first post. 🙂

Welcome to the forums and thank you for taking the time to post for the first time and your kind words about the IMA. 🙂

My first 2 replies were sent incorrectly and so I hope this information reaches you. The articles that I referenced are as follows:

1. “Pharmacological vítreolysis of vitreous floaters by 3 month pineapple supplement in Taiwan: a pilot study” Chi-Ting Horng et al, Journal of American Science 2019

2. ”A New Pharmacological Vitreolysis through the Supplemenrof Mixed Fruit Enzymes for Patients with Ocular Floaters or Vitreous Hemorrhage-Induced Floaters” Jui-Wen Ma et al, Journal of Clinical Medicine Nov 2022

3. “Treatment of Symptomatic Vitreous Opacities with Pharmacological Vitreolysis Using a Mixture of Bromelain, Papain, and Ficin Supplement” Masaru Takeuchi et al Applied Sciences Aug 2020

I have had partial relief with Bromelain, and pineapple smoothies including the skin. Ím looking for a supplement that contains Bromelain, Ficin, and Papain and I’m considering DMSO drops. My ophthalmologist told me “There is nothing that can be done”

This answer was unacceptable to me as a physician and to my patients.

I hope this information is helpful!

Thank you!

You can find a few web pages on the web where ophthalmologists use lasers to destroy floaters. I told my optometrist about that, and he did not recommend it. Not sure if it was because it wasn’t mainstream or potentially harmful. Perhaps it is not perfected yet and a significant amount of people have been harmed. It does have the potential to do great harm, if the surgeon messes up. Does he need a steady hand? It is based on the principle of focusing the light on the floater. Beyond the floater it would be out of focus and not burn anything, in principle. If you have ever taken a magnifying glass outside in the sun and tried to ignite some toilet paper, you would know what I mean.
