Floaters 101
Drifting squiggles are shadows from clumps inside the vitreous gel. Most are benign, but sudden floaters with flashes can signal a tear—get urgent care.
Why They Happen
Aging vitreous shrinks and clumps. Dehydration, UV, screen strain, and blood sugar swings speed the process. Nutrients that help: vitamin C, omega‑3s, lutein/zeaxanthin.
Natural Approach
Hydrate consistently, stack antioxidants, manage screens with the 20‑20‑20 rule, and add targeted topical support.
