Eye Floaters – A Homeopathic Treatment for Black Spots Before Eyes

Eye floaters are something everyone is familiar with – they are little black spots in the vision that move or float when a person moves their eyes. When you try to focus on the spots, they seem to move quickly out of the visual field. The medical term for eye floaters is muscae volitantes. Eye floaters are mostly harmless and do not affect the vision significantly, but it is recommended to get the eyes examined by an ophthalmologist on a regular basis if eye floaters are a frequent occurrence. The top homeopathic remedies to treat eye floaters are Phosphorous, Natrum Mur, and Argentum Nitricum.

Homeopathic Treatment of Eye Floaters

Causes of Eye Floaters

In a majority of cases, eye floaters arise due to age-related changes that appear in vitreous inside the eyes. Vitreous humor is a liquid that occupies back two third of the eyes. Vitreous humor is jelly-like, clear and transparent matter. It consists majorly of water with a minor content of collagen, salt, and sugar. In aged people, the vitreous begins to liquefy, and the collagen fibers clump together. These strands cast a shadow on the retinal surface that a person perceives as eye floaters. Other causes behind eye floaters include hemorrhage in the vitreous, posterior uveitis and tearing of retina. Tearing of retina may lead to the retinal detachment that needs prompt treatment to prevent permanent vision loss. Some factors including diabetes mellitus, injury to the eye and nearsightedness raise the risk of eye floaters. Eye floaters may also be a part of aura in cases of migraine.
A person may see the floaters as black/gray dots, cobwebs, cloud-like spots, curved lines, rings, fine strands/strings. A person may see a single floater or the number may be up to hundreds varying from case to case. Floaters appear more prominent when a person looks on light colored backgrounds like the sky or a white wall. However, in the event of a sudden increase in eye floaters (especially if a person see flashes of light or there is a loss of vision), an eye specialist should be consulted on an emergency basis as it may be a signal of some critical condition like retinal detachment.

  5. elena marcus says:

    Hello Dr. Sharma,
    I suddenly got hundreds of floating specks in mostly my left eye some in the right eye after I passed out from heat exhaustion as I am visiting Asia. I had two painful concussions from the fall, both on the left part of the head one on the left forehead. I read the entire list. Arnica is for injury but I do not have any double vision or flashes and other symptoms. Would Arnica be good even if other symptoms are not present. ?
    Thank you for reading.

    Last 2 week I feel eye floaters in my left eye.
    Single dark floater it’s walking around.
    No pain, still no improvement, its watching in lighten place and most of day time.

  8. This was very helpful and gave me some answers that I needed. Thank you.

  9. I have had a floater in my right eye for probably about 6 weeks. There is also a blurry spot that moves with the floater. The floater is a partial circle and looks black in color.
    Is this something I should be concerned about other than the annoyance?

  10. Manju Alexander says:

    Respected Dr Sharme,
    I developed eye floaters exactly 2 months after my Cataract surgery. I had Covid 19 in Jan2022 and during that period I started seeing Cobweb type floaters. I hv consulted my Doc but was told they will vanish in sometime. My vision has become very hazy now. I hv consulted a Homeopath who gave me med for a month, but no improvement is shown. Plz suggest and guide me. I am 67 year old female. Live in Gurgaon.

    i would like to treat my eye floaters and dry eyes with homeopathic wholistic methods. what product do you suggest

    • Edward Seaton says:

      Dear Dr Sharma

      My wife is suffering from identical problems to Helen Torczyn – dry eye disease and extreme floaters in both eyes. She has been to see an ophthalmologist, who has confirmed that she has no inherent damage to her eyes.

      My wife is 57, and the symptoms have been growing since May of this year.

      I am particularly keen to hear what you might recommend for the floater, but if you can help with the dry eyes as well, that would be wonderful. I rather suspect the two things are connected.

      Many thanks

      Edward

  15. Hi Dr. Sharma,
    I have had floaters in my eyes for many years but they never really have bothered me up until now.
    About a week ago I experienced a large arc shaped floater moving across my vision in my right eye, and when I was in a dimly lit room the arc shape became a flashing light.
    I went to see a retinal specialist the next day and he told me I had a small tear in my retina.
    He performed laser surgery to repair this.
    I am now 1 week post surgery and am researching every thing to help this to heal.
    I would like to get a homeopathic remedy to help the vitreous humor and floaters.
    Which one would you recommend?
    thank you so much

    sincerely,
    Melody
