Sure. https://anchor.fm/eye-floaters-action-podcast Someone on here, Blue_Q claimed to have cleared his floaters with his diet, they became more transparent he said. Interestingly he was eating a lot of pineapple and this was before the study came out.
Some of the smaller ones I don’t notice with my glasses on no. You’re still going to see the larger ones but IMO they’re less noticeable. I would try the tungsten prism polarized (readily available) on an Oakley frame you like or scout Amazon/eBay for a pair of tungsten iridium. I prefer iridium but since they don’t make it anymore it’s hard to find. Can try a frame on virtually on their website.
If you don’t like the lens can always swap it out, that’s what I like about Oakley
EDIT: this is the lens I use but on a woman’s frame. Prism is a bit brighter and more yellow-ish than bronze but still effective. I would think anything similar to this would help. I would 100% go with polarized first and foremost, mirrored if you can but not a necessity

you dont have a choice, ive learned to avoid places that makes them really visible and annoying like bright rooms and being in dark rooms is comforting to me now as i dont see any floaters when its dark.
if you're looking for some really dark sunglasses that pretty much hides floaters, heres those i bought a couple years ago.
Man i Just discover F.lux https://justgetflux.com/
It great it controls the display of your screen so you don't have to deal with all that blue light throughout the day.
It also has a vignette feature which is very calming to my eyes at the moment.
Highly recommended and it's free
To the left of blue light on the spectrum is UV though. I'm not saying it's a causes BFEP, but its actually 100% apparent when looking at one of these. https://cpcireland.farnell.com/chauvet/led-shadow/uv-led-panel/dp/DP35387
The Relief Products Eye Floaters Relief Eye Drops, 0.33 fl. oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7394M6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5GAEVD4A9Y4PKMZTNRB7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also try this product. It works for some people to temporarily relieve floaters.
I have been researching many alternative ways to solve them and many people say different things worked for them.
I will compile my research and make a thread soon.
I found this on amazon (I think this is what this guy was talking about)

Lol, I'm not trolling you guys. Just sharing my experience.
Solaray Bilberry Berry Extract 60 mg | Powerful Antioxidant | Healthy Vision & Circulation Support | 60 VegCaps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014I1W54/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_R0GE2JZD0PRQKJZVMY6G
https://www.kroger.com/p/solaray-eyebright-capsules-400mg/0007628001255
I was taking the 120mg version of the billberry and it looks like the eyebright is out of stock on Amazon and on this website but I was able to find it in a local supplement store.
I’ve had floaters for years. I mostly ignore them, but recently read some research on how to get rid of them - I’ve decided to try this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1I7NYL/ref=sns_myd_detail_page (Bromelain). Just ordered it, so can’t report on effectiveness. Supposedly takes at least 3 months of taking this to help.
I work as programmer, and i have floaters too :(
It was really hard for me at the beginning.
I enabled dark themes on all application i used, or changed to similar apps with dark themes.
There are nice extension https://darkreader.org/, that helps me a lot, and i use Chrome dark mode on android.
Also you can low you light in room, and brightness of you screen.
And try to find remote work, because it hard to build comfortable environment in office, and all offices i worked, was bright, white and with a lot of glass.
Win10/MacOS have dark themes or if you *nix user, it is not difficult to make it dark.
Blue light blocking glasses helps a bit too.
I think, if you have floaters, became a programmer it is a nice choice, couse most of IDE's or other apps for programming have dark themes and you can work from home in most comfortable environment.
Sry for possible mistakes, English is not my native language.
> Do you have proof that the authors are linked to the product?
Says so in the paper you linked:
> Funded by Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) and ebiga-VISION GmbH through a WIT PhD Co-Fund Scholarship (WD_2017_43).
ebiga-VISION GmbH is a company that sells VitroCap N. Look at the "Brand" on this Amazon page: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/VITROCAP-N-Capsules-Pack-30/dp/B07PSLB1VT
You can find somebody claiming online that just about anything has "reduced opacity" of floaters at this point, including several famously known placebos. IMO there's only one meaningful outcome: whether it got RID of the floaters or not. If it didn't, then it doesn't work.
it's true that they technically aren't powerful enough to damage your vitreous if you glance into it, but it was at full blue max and I stared in a drunken stupor for about a second and a half. enough that I could literally see things being burnt to a nice circle with a crispy edge ....
it was a surreal experience.
it was this one: maybe it's because it was a short throw projector, and I had it very far away from the wall and was wondering why it wasn't working.

i found this one with more vitamin A but less cod liver and omega 3, i wonder which component exactly is the one helping your floaters!

But the amounts mentioned in that tapatalk thread, which by the way is over 14 years old, are mostly equivalent to the RDA...only 1.7 milligrams. We get that in foods. Are we supposed to stop eating?
I understand the desperation involved, especially when one first gets a bad case of floaters, which just happened to me again on Friday. You can't look anywhere without that black tangled web of worms -- it's definitely very disturbing and scary -- so it's understandable to freak out.
But again, consider how many people take high doses every single day for years. Here's a 400mg product on Amazon. Over 7,800 people have purchased it. The overwhelming majority are positive reviews. But there's not a SINGLE mention of floaters, or any eye problem, not even amongst the 1-star reviews. And that's just one brand.
HOWEVER, I do not recommend you buy that specific brand. Why? Because I've tried Bulk Supplements & I tried a brand my brother uses. His brand (of liposomal) is actually much better than the one I got.
I have to find out the name. The brand I got was mediocre at best. Just not a brand I'd recommend. I'm buying my brothers brand next.
Orange glasses that block 100% of blue light worked the best for me Something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Blocking-Amber-Glasses-Sleep/dp/B01GSFTX08
I dont know exactly why they worked the best but i think a floater on a shiny blueish backgrounds is much more annoying than on rest of colors Think like: staring at blue sky vs looking at sunset or whatnot
From my experience it will not get rid of the ones you can see in dim lighting. It helps tremendously either way. Please invest in a nice pair of sunglasses with UV protection! Your eyes will really need it. here’s the sunglasses i got, the purple lense really helps on top of the atropine
I am guessing you're using BLPF 98. Would it be one of these you have?
Here's a supplement from Amazon that contains bromelain, papain and ficin. But the doses are very low.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3L1T4K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cnqMFbXPTWT1D
I'm having some luck on 500 mg bromelain and 450 mg papain each day.
I’ve been taking the 1000 mg tablets and I got it from amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Taurine-1000mg-400-Capsules/dp/B01CUYHCX6/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-nc-drs1_0?cv_ct_cx=taurine&dchild=1&keywords=taurine&pd_rd_i=B01CUYHCX6&pd_rd_r=ae4bda2a-125a-4c68-bd90-869de36ade00&pd_rd_w=oaXNx...
J+S Premium Military Style Classic Aviator Sunglasses, Polarized, 100% UV Protection (Large Frame - Gold Frame/Brown Lens) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9ZHU6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QV5HDbE4EDAV5
Here ya go!
No problem!
Another thing is if you spend a lot of time on the computer grab some of those yellow tinted glasses. I got these:
Gamma Ray Blue Light Blocking Computer Glasses TV Phones Screens Not Magnified 0.00 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ7KBV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VJKHDbGCV97J2
The ones I got are almost unnoticeably yellow and look like regular glasses so I don't feel weird wearing them, but they've helped with my eye strain a bit too. I think I had eyestrain before the floaters but didn't really think about it until the floaters started.
