Do you see floaters in your vision? If so, are you going to conduct your own pineapple experiment? Let me know in the comments below 👇

I noticed a significant decrease in eye floaters when I started regular eating of pineapple, thank God!

I went on a low carb diet for 2 months and experienced a vast improvement in my floaters

Omg... I've dealt with these floaters for a couple yrs. I had a couple slices of upside down pineapple. I saw this video and suddenly noticed... NO FLOATERS THIS MORNING... I just noticed o didn't see them, and after seeing this video... it's fantastic, it works

I started eating fresh pineapple twice a day with cottage cheese for edema in my ankles and feet. It's been three months and my edema is gone, I've lost weight. When I saw this video, I realized that my floaters are gone as well. I'm 64 yo male and had enough floaters that it was noticeable and mildly annoying. My experience isn't scientific but the result is authentic.

Thanks for your video, Dr. Tai. A couple of years ago I had a round floater in my right eye, I was alarmed as it was severe. Through the research of my own, I deduced that it was from my optic nerve. I researched ways to treat my condition and learned that sucking out the floater to include the entire gel sac and then replacing the fluid was an option. This seemed like a last resort for me so I began eating pineapples. I eat pineapples every day for three weeks and the floater disappeared. I recently had the same thing happen in my left eye. I went back to the pineapple and it's been a week. The floater has diminished by 60 or so percent and I will continue to eat pineapples until it's completely gone. I still have no floaters in my right eye. I turn 60 this month. Due to my personal experience, I'll continue to enjoy pineapples for the rest of my life. Sincerely,

Either true or false, no one wants to do this research because no pharmaceutical company can make money on selling pineapples.

Pineapple has worked for me. I had floaters for years, but since eating pineapple daily 3 years ago, I'VE HAD ZERO FLOATERS.

I have floaters even though I regularly consumed pineapple because I liked it. I increased my consumption after reading the study, but noticed no improvement. Even before seeing this video I suspected the paper was probably not objective, Taiwan is a major grower/exporter of pineapples. Of course I have no proof, but - sadly - biased studies are not uncommon. And Dr. Tai makes a lot of good points.

I asked my doctor about the risks of eating pineapple and he agreed to be cautious. He recommended that a high powered laser be blasted into my retinas instead. I was concerned but he assured me that it was a very profitable procedure for him. Medicine is amazing.

Glad that those who tried and had positive results commented. It gives sufferers hope n those not diabetic can easily try without worry. Really hoped it will work🙏

I was having a bad problem with floaters for a while and then my doctor told me about pineapples so I started eating them pretty regular and the floaters have almost disappeared. I had no idea but it did work for me

I'm 75,and never heard of this till this video. I had been experiencing increasing floaters over past 20 years. For the last year I've been eating about 4 tablespoons of crushed pineapple daily. Since watching this video I stood and stared at a mildly lit off white wall for 15 minutes, and did not see a single floater. Where as ,say a year ago there would have been dozens,if not hundreds in the same time frame. The weirdest thing about it is that I didn't even notice the change till seeing this video. But now that I have YAHOO!!!!

I used fresh pineapple once a day and it did cleared my floaters.

I have experienced reduction in floaters since I began eating pineapple. Over 3 years only one of seven floaters remain and it is much less obstructive than it was. Thank you very much for all your information about eye disorders and treatments.

Pineapple helped get rid of my floaters. Haven’t had pineapple the last 3 months. They’ve just started coming back but not near as bad as before. So I got fresh pineapple again. We’ll see how it goes!

I just wanted to congratulate you for a clear and well explained argument against pineapple and vitreous floaters! Geez! and you are an anterior segment specialist! None of my guys went through this! Thank you!! Oscar

I had posterior vitreous detachment for 2 years. Looked like cobwebs. It would come and go every few weeks to few months. It almost seems like it would reattach itself after a few weeks. I discovered a paper that linked the condition with diabetes. I do have type 2 diabetes. I went on a keto diet, I took extra collagen and I used hyaluronic acid drops in my eyes. They condition has not returned, knock on wood. It is now been over 2 years.

The first time, I experienced eye floaters is about 20 years ago (I’m 67 now and retired). Over the years I have seen up to 5 floaters in my left eye. I didn’t had a healthy style of living and had a too much stress work related and too less sleep - constantly exhausted, not to talk about alcohol consumption. Anyways, my live got more in order, less stress, healthy eating and more sleep over the last 5 years 🙂 The floaters are almost gone, I only see 2 sometimes but very transparent compared to 15-20 years ago. I won’t draw a conclusion out of that, but since my life became calmer, my floaters may decided to hide somewhere away out of the field of view 😉 from my perspective - they almost disappeared 🤔

I took bromelain and it helped me tremendously. Take for at least 6 months. 500 mg twice a day on empty stomach.

In Pacific pineapples galore. Most of us eat pineapples so we have no floaters Thanks for sharing this. God bless

Pineapple/bromelain did nothing for my big and annoying weises ring after a PVD. Eventually I found someone who did laser treatment (YAG laser). One session yielded probably the best quality of life improvements I’ve ever gotten from a medical intervention.

Thankyou Audrey, You have confirmed my suspicions about eating pineapples. Especially as I have type 2 diabetes and floaters which do seem to be reducing naturally.

I use pineapple to treat a bursa in my shoulder. For those that can't eat pineapple because of the high sugar content, pills of extract are available. They are often sold as digestive enzymes, or bromelain. I'm not sure the effectiveness of the extracts. But I can attest that when I eat a lot of papaya or pineapple helps in general for any injury or bruises. If you're an athlete, not a bad idea to reduce inflammation on off days.

Hello doc, pineapple is one of my favorite fruit... I use to eat them regularly.. Maybe that the reason why i dont experience floaters at all.. I am almost 60 and still dont have eyeglasses.. I eat pineapple even early mornings when my tummy has no intakes yet... Thanks doc for the knowledge u shared... Luv u doc....

When I heard about it a year ago. I tried it for four months and never noticed a difference. But I sure like pineapple.

I’ve had floaters since I was a child. I recall closing and opening my eyes and watching how these worm-like transparent structures moved up and down in my vision.

One of the big reason that dissolve only the floaters is because they are oxidated collagen and much easier to dissolve

A great video. I had posterior vitreous detachment and a retinal horseshoe tear which was tacked down. There are different classes of floaters. One, are the vitreous gel floaters caused by collagen clumping during syneresis or formation of liquefied vitreous. A more serious type are caused by posterior vitreous detachment…hyaloid membrane surrounding the vitreous pulls from the retina, and parts of that can cause more obstructing floaters. If the hyaloid pulls too hard, causing traction and visual flashing lights, the retina can tear. Many hundreds of dark tiny floaters can accompany this. Flashing lights, dark curtains, and loss of acuity signals possible retinal tears. These can generally be tacked down right away with a laser…a barrier is formed to prevent further tearing.

I have a lot of floaters and after my cataract surgery there seemed to be more floaters around. Thanks for the information. You are beautiful too!.

When I saw the title about pineapples being an effective treatment for floaters, I was skeptical. After seing your video, my skepticism was confirmed. Your approach is very gentle. Thanks for bringing in some critical thinking about scientific papers. I used to be a scientific and technical editor, and you raised the right questions.

I've had floaters for years and doctors would even say I'll get used to it, I did but it's annoying when I'm reading. This is someone with 20/20 vision at 38. I will eat more pineapples to see if it helps. Thank you 👑🙏🏾💛

Thank you for your video. For 7 years, suffered from eye floaters, multiplying every year., nothing worked. In 2 weeks, 99% are gone using only 2 products. Praise be to God. A real miracle.

Thank you for the information. As a kid I used to distract myself during long car rides trying to look at my floaters directly. Which was impossible since as my gaze shifted the floaters floated away. Good times. I rarely notice them these days unless I actively look for them. On a side note, I'm quite fond of pineapple especially grilled and baked. Glad it doesn't affect my old friends.

Pineapple is good for Floaters.. I can see results in 2 days 😀... And i fell I have Strong Eye now.. Let God show Grace on everyone like God showed on me.. Thankyou

I was about 13 years old when I first saw floaters. I thought they were living things I was seeing while using my microscope. I never told anyone because I did not know what to call them except things moving across my sight when I turned my eyes. Many years later I heard someone call them floaters,(Posterior Vitreous Detachment). You are my first to refer to them as PVD. Thank you. I never knew there was a treatment for them. I am watching your videos because I have been scheduled for cataract surgery in both eyes.

I think the thing that is cool about this study as there is no real harm in trying it yourself. Worse case scenario you introduce more fruit into your diet.

Born extremely near-sighted, I have had floaters for about 70 years. I imagine that my vitreous humor has a tendency to pull away from the retina due to the elongation of the eyeball and collect debris. Diagnosed as 'pre-diabetic', I went keto several years ago (no sugar, no bread, no corn, no rice). Other results good. I read the same article you referenced, but no follow-up publications. NO WAY would I eat pineapple (full of fructose), but I tried bromelain (3,400 mg/day) for a year with no results. I have been taking twice that (6,800 mg/day) for the last year...again with no perceptible results. Another channel suggested liquid MSM eyedrops. I have them but am not optimistic. I theorize that extended fasting resulting in autophagy might take the floaters away. I will try that next.

I think your analysis of why pineapple is not likely an effective remedy for floaters is very persuasive. And the information regarding effective treatments is very helpful as well. Thanks for posting this.

I'm blessed to have found this channel. I'm from Bangalore, India. I do have floaters since sux months. I got my retina by dilation.. All seems to be ok. I wish I get rid of this problem soon. I hope to hear some positive remedy from you SOON.

It worked for me so it’s worth a try ✨

I had floaters for about a year in my early 30's and they disappeared by themselves! I think my consistent wearing sun glasses with UV protection may have helped.

I tried pineapple and it definitely helped with my floaters. Pineapple is a healthy safe treatment for floaters in my opinion.

Its been working for me, albeit only slightly. Eating pineapple has made a noticeable difference, but hasn't gotten rid of the floaters entirely. Then again, its only been about 6 months.

Wow, I just stumbled onto your channel. I am a very well controlled diabetic. I have learned more from you than the current eye Doctor that I vist every 6 months. Ill be watching all of your videos. Thank you!

I am so glad to find your channel. I am 62 and I just got my cataracts removed and put trifocals in. I was so frustrated and depressed that I had a floater in my right eye. Didn’t know what it was til I researched it. Now I can eat pineapple and it might help it to decrease. I have hope. Another surgery to remove it is not an option and like my Ophthalmologist would tell me to ignore it

Eating pineapple worked quickly and very well for me. If bromelain is the reason (we dont know for sure) - then, it does not affect established structures in the eye, it only affects floaters - floaters are not part of established eye structure, and are less resistance to Bromelain at these dosage levels. Bromelain can also be purchased as a supplement.

She is telling that floaters cannot be cured by pineapple but in comment section people have differrent views. I will go with experience than theoritical knowledge. I will try it

the most truly stated video about Pineapple and Bromelain for eye floaters

I had flashes since December 2022. I had a dilated eye exam, but the ophthalmologist saw nothing. It is April 2023 and the flashes have changed to a drop of quicksilver lower down, especially when my eyes are closed. The brilliant flashes at the side of my eyes are no longer there, however. Yes, I ate pineapples.

Hello. Thank you for your time. I just got my eyes looked at and a prescription filled. Roughly 2 weeks. With a typical optometrist. In the last 2 years.I have experienced all three symptoms you described. Exactly how you described them. I’m also sensitive to bright lights. 6 months ago I did see an ophthalmologist. Because of what is best described by your third symptom. Nothing abnormal was found. Thank you.

For everyone who has eye floaters and are currently in panic: keep on reading. I first encountered floaters when I was about 19 but somehow they moved out of my field of vision, then at 27 I suddenly had a bunch of them. At that time I also had bad anxiety, stress etc and I couldn’t stop looking for the floaters that it became a daily obsession. But: I overcame it. It WILL get better! Try to find the core of where the anxiety comes from, maybe with a little more help like therapy or someone you trust to talk to. Strangely, I still have floaters but I barely notice them because I’m not scared of them anymore. The mind can be a powerful ally or your biggest enemy. If I can do it, you can do it too!

The internet has a lot of people talking rot, and silly people following equally silly people who give out the rot. So thank you doctor for your sensible medical advice!

I had some floaters but just realized they don't affect me anymore perhaps gone, however l do know pineapple 🍍 dissolve Kidney stones within less then a week including uric acid stones. One needs to take half a pineapple 30 minutes before meals and alot of water. You will need something for the mouth like Bonjela otherwise you'll get sores. This treatment worked on me after litrotripsy treatment failed since l had Uric acid stones that cannot be seen on screen unlike calcium oxalate stones. When l mentioned this treatment to my doctor his only comment was he would go broke if everyone knew about it. If this helps anyone please share

I understand that the study is not giving the correct explanations about how and why pineapple decreases floaters. But, reality is that they do decrease, and there are thousands of cases being reported everywhere...I have started eating a lot more pineapple since a couple of months, and floaters have decreased a lot. I will definitely continue eating a lot of pineapple for ever...maybe in some years it will be discovered the real reason pineapple helps, but meanwhile we know it does, and that's enough ( as Pineapple is anyway a healthy food...it would not be the same if I would have to take an specific medicine with side effects)

THANK YOU ! ! ! I tried your recommendation - I figured, I like pineapple, so if it doesn't work, I would have a nice treat. I bought the pre-sliced pineapple from the market and gave it a try. First day - nothing, second day - nothing, on the third day, I noticed the floaters were gone. I've been eating my pineapple on a regular basis and no more floaters...

🍍 are so good for many reasons, especially having great enzymes for digestion, & weight loss!

I started getting two small floaters in one of my eyes. They looked like two small black dots. I've recently been taking an eye vitamin that contains bilberry and eating pineapples. I definitely see a difference in my vision and the floaters seem to have faded significantly. The pineapple has also helped my gallbladder, so it has been an added bonus! Love the taste of pineapple, so no complaints having to eat it! 😊 🍍

Thank you for the most informative discussion on floaters that I have ever heard, and this includes my Ophthalmologist. In Navy boot camp I ran the gauntlet with multiple air guns to vaccinate against any disease on the planet. My floaters appeared shortly afterwards. I'm now 70 and I learned to ignore them. Thanks again for the great information.

I haven't noticed any floaters in my eye recently.... Until this video made me aware of them - and now I see plenty! Time to think of other things!

I had posterior vitreous separation with hemorrhage at age 65. I woke up with heavy flashing and big floaters. It was scary! I called the eye clinic, they saw me in hours and all was fine. They told me a minority of people with this have a retinal tear that requires immediate surgery to spare vision...so report to the doctor immediately if this happens to you! I still see a big floater, the Weiss ring, but my brain has adjusted so I no longer notice it.

Thanks for your video, Dr. Tai! You made a lot of sense! I had cataract surgery (eye #2), on July 28, and have seen floaters in that eye ever since. I was told by the surgical team that the floaters where normal and would resolve in time. Hopefully that's true, as the floaters are annoying. At least I don't have flashes, so that's a good thing. Oh, and by the way, I won't be rushing out for pineapples! Thanks, again!

So glad I found your channel. Last year I had PVD in both eyes, 6 months apart. Also found out during exam that both eyes have cataracts. I have different types of floaters in both eyes. This all has been extremely distressing. I'm 56 and trying to find natural solutions that may help. My ophthalmologist said there's nothing. I've lead a healthy lifestyle and this has been a shock. Added vitamin E and algae omega to regimen, as well as, trying to eat greens daily. My main concern is stopping or slowing progression. Thank you for all you do

Debunking junk science? I love it! Dr. Tai, I'm sold by your intellectual integrity alone. Well done. 👍🏻👍🏻

I too have floaters and do eat pineapple daily but it's news to me that it can 'cure' floaters. So now I'll be more mindful to see if they're still there after eating the pineapple.

Actually I read before that bromelain is more concentrated in the stalk of the pineapple plant which is lower in sugar than the fruit portion. Thanks for posting the video Dr. Tai!

Wow just amazing....32 here been struggling with floaters since I was a young lad. I used to stare at the sun for hours after I would exit the synagogue. Floaters corrupted my vision quickly as you can imagine. Saw this video when it came out and started eating pineapples religiously. I mean breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. My wife nearly left me because all there was to eat in the house was pineapple, but alas! The floaters went away unlike my wife hahahahaha hohoho

I never heard floaters growing up in Philippines maybe because we eat pineapple often so people never get it there. I’m living here in the US for 32 years now and very seldom eat pineapple and few days ago I noticed floaters in my vision and went to my eye Dr today told me not to worry about it. I think I’ll start eating pineapple again.

Thank you for confirming what I have experiencing by eating pineapple.

The carbohydrates in fruit have fiber giving them a really low glycemic index.

I had a bunch of floaters, I took bromelain supplements for a couple of weeks and I noticed that the stationary floaters moved (they’ve been in my vision for a long time), which was annoying because I was used to them in certain parts of my vision, so I stopped.

I had eye floaters,starting on May 8th, then 2 weeks later, I was told I had a detatched retina. I had surgery on May 29th and I'm still recovering. If you get a lot of floaters all of a sudden, get to an opthamologist as soon as possible! It could save your vision.

I have had floaters since the beginning of memory, around 2 1/2 years old. I am 70 now. As a child I would play with them, especially when bored in school. I would roll my eyes around and watch them swirl and chase each other. I do not hunt but I do shoot at ranges once in a while and they definitely get in the way. Same when I was in the Army Infantry. Allot of head shaking going on. I am going to try this.

i have what i think you could call chronic eye floaters. I've had them my whole life. Not just a little... a lot. I'm 59 now and in last few years they have gotten very bothersome. my left eye has a clump of them that move across my vision and cause my vision to blur. It is very much like you said - looking through a snow globe. I tried the pinapple treatment last year with no improvement. If anything they got worse. I am very near sighted and see my eye docter every year. I complain about the floaters every visit but he just shruggs it off and tell me my eyes are very healthy. I dont think he would say that if he looked through eyes like mine. few years back i went to another eye docter and they said i could have the fluid drained/filtered like you mentioned but thought it might be better until i have to have cataract surgery and do it all at same time. I"m a computer programmer and its ofter difficult to see the data on my screen. Wish i could find a holistict treatment.

Im 57. I got severe floaters in my right eye in a instant. It was determined to be vitreous detachment. The eye doctor said it’s just something I’ll have to deal with and my brain will adjust and I won’t notice it much. It bothers and annoys me every day. I already have cataracts and blurry vision . I wear sunglasses during the day so it’s dark and I don’t see them

My only guess if this works is - It's like adding OIL to a pot of spaghetti. If you DON'T add oil, the spaghetti STICKS together. The pineapple or bromelain might be acting like OIL and separating the floaters so they don't stick together and are Not as noticeable.

Interesting fact tho ught I was on my own . I had pineapple and banana. And recognise my vision was crystal clear. The video remind me of the experience.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of your presentation and your own skepticism concerning pineapple helping with floater problems until I listened to your objections which do make sense. The clincher was when you spoke of being a nutritionist and proponent of natural remedies. You seem to be an eye doctor who shoots it straight. I had cataract surgeries in both eyes, and last week I had to have a YAG capsulotomy in my right eye because it had began to become so blurred that I couldn't see even with glasses from that eye. It was like trying to look through a shower glass. After the procedure, I was able to see tack sharp from my right eye for 2 days, but experienced severe hazing problems and even spots from the laser when I would look at a white or near white wall. I have been off the Prednisolone for 3 days now, and for the most part, my vision has came back to 90% of what I was seeing for 2 days post procedure. Hopefully I will get that wonderful tack sharp crispness that I enjoyed for 2 days as my eye finishes recovering, and I was told that it could take about a week for the side effects to completely disappear. Good and informative presentation here. Thank you.

I have been eating pineapple like 7 months already and i believe (probably placebo) that the small non intrusive floaters have become really transparent but the big dark ones are the same, at this point i am addicted to pineapple i no longer care about the floaters, pineapple is so good for digestion after eating meat, so i would probably keep eating it XD.

I think pineapple helps floaters!! I was eating and drinking it’s juice almost everyday and my eyes are still fine despite I have some floaters

Thank you so much for your honest feedback, great information 😊👍

THANK YOU THIS IS VERY HELPFUL AND PRO

I love pineapple and in the past several months have eaten pineapple pretty regularly because I’ve been trying to eat better for heart health. Unfortunately this has not resulted in a reduction of floaters for me. I have had the same floaters for years and I hardly notice them most of the time, but nope they’re still there.

I'm doing a very strict low carb diet for years now and lately I'm trying to get carnivore, in my youth I had lots of floaters but now they are gone. Giving up carbs has been the best decision in my life there are too many things to list here that improved or get cured and yes floaters is one of them.

As your video showed, I tried the pineapple experiment twice. Indeed, I did not notice any impressive results, despite, like you, really wanting such a natural solution to be true. Some people who had been following along were not impressed by what I found, and thought it was me not doing it properly (hence why I tried it twice). But honestly... I worked very hard to have so much pineapple, even when it was incredibly inconvenient. No big results. Thanks for your great video.

Believe it or not pineapple is a virus fighter and mushrooms fight viruses and zinc tablets you can all get at Walmart! I noticed my digestive system is much better than before after I ate the listed things above.. and I can see well as I am STILL aging! I love this 😍😎♥️ video doctor! So far very honest in her lectures!

Thanks for your honesty. I had floaters: real problems, like it was acting on my nerves I can't say when it disappeared.When I take off the lights I see patterns on the floor and on the walls .

Thank you, been having those flickers of light off and on for 40 years. Years ago somebody told me that those flashing lights was from high cholesterol. So every time I periodically would get one I would watch my diet and they would stop.

My onset of floater started with the flashes (went to the eye doc as soon as the happened) which started in one eye then then within 2 weeks the other eye. The floaters in the left eye were fairly minor but still remain. The ones in the right eye are larger and have not resolved themselves in the past year. Right after they first appeared, I started taking a highly concentrated (and expensive) bromelain for 6-months without missing a dose and there was NO-change whatsoever. I appreciate you (essentially) calling this out and showing how counter-intuitive to think it would work. So, (to-me) save your money...

I have experienced floaters twice in a fashion that caused concern. The first was the start of a detachment. The second was the start of a tear. Both taken care of painlessly with laser treatment.

Am 70 and a Pineapple lover. I drive car without glasses and my vision don't change for many years. I have no age spots, no floaters, and have bright white teeth without using any bleaching products. But I eat pineapple in small portions to prevent sugar hike and maintening my normal blood sugar.

I have been eating half a pineapple a day for over a year. It may have reduced a few floaters but nothing really noticeable. Im in Vietnam and still eat my pineapple every morning with some plain yogurt

No matter how much pineapple I eat, I still can't play the piano!

I had one black floater for about two years. I gave up on that it ever again might disappear. It was pretty annoying close to the center of my view, and reading on a bright computer screen became difficult. I also read the 2019 article and tried it out. Btw, the article was talking about 1, 2, or 3 small cubes. More than that had no additional effect. My floater began to shrink and eventually disappeared. Sometimes it comes back much smaller, but I continued to eat some pineapple, and it goes away again.

It worked for me. I can look at white background without floaters. I blend the pineapple and the skin.

I have had floaters at least since I was 8. I received a microscope for Christmas and wondered what these 'things' were moving with my eye when looking through it!!! I had eye allergies when young so rubbed my eyes often. Guess this is the reason. Still have them and just ignore them. Get my eye exam every year or two. Nice channel.

Finally got the name of my problem, i thought this my problem was something rare, very good video.

Thanks Dr. for the info. I had floaters about 10 years ago. As I do not care about them, they seem disappear.

It's amazing so many people on this thread say that pineapple is effective for them. This should be taken into account that possibly the enzymatic actions of certain fruits do help clear the collegen humors of the body

Hi Doctor! Nice to hear from you! Proud of you!...
