INACCESSIBLE EYE FLOATERS? USING A MIRRORED LENS

This morning someone asked about the use of a mirrored lens to get at floaters hiding out in the periphery. I referenced an old video from before 2015, but the quality was very poor. It just so happens I am treating someone this weekend whose large syneresis cloud floater like to sit inferiorly. It does move quickly up and down and a little faster than you can capture it. The mirrored lens allows you to take your time to set up the shot and on a static floater, not dynamically moving. This patient is an anesthesiologist struggling with large, intermittently obstructive floaters in both eyes, making interventional procedures, well, challenging.

The Floater Doctor, James H. Johnson M.D. is Medical Director of the only medical practice in the world specializing in, and exclusively treating eye floaters, the bothersome spots, shadows, and clouds that affect your vision. Although common, especially changes such as posterior vitreous detachment (PVDs) as we age, these vitreous eye floaters are rarely offered treatment by your local and well qualified eye care providers, even at top specialty institutions. Dr. Johnson uses a specialized FDA-approved YAG laser to vaporize and destroy the proteins in the vitreous that are responsible for your spots, shadows, and moving blurred areas in your vision. He has been doing so since 2007 making him one of, if not the most experienced in this very specialty niche area in ophthalmology, a pioneer in this field.

We hope a better treatment comes out for this.

This looks more fun than popping pimples! I’ll give mine a year to see if they clear on their own. You just might see me come through the door.

Hi doc! thanks for everything that you do😊 I’m a 21 year italian boy who is suffering from floaters in the last few months, I found out in january that I have keratoconus and it degenerated in a few months, till october/november my view was very good and i didn’t have any symptom from keratoconus, so it still shocks me how i’m reduced today, in the last 7 months everything degenerated and so floaters did, they started to appear in the last few months only in the sick eye, I had cross linking a month and a half ago and after that they are more, plus in the last 10 days started to appear even in the other eye (which sees perfectly and doesn’t have keratoconus and it hasn’t been treated in any way), I don’t know what to do cause here the doctors i went to, don’t know a lot about of how to treat them, they controlled them and they said I don’t have to worry and I have to deal with them, but i’m really concerned because they are slowly becoming more in both eyes with the days and saw that a few months ago i didn’t have any of these i’m really really worried. I know that with young patients is more complicated because they could be close to the retina but maybe there’s some exception I hope, I do everything I can, I always drink a lot of water so i’m hydrated, i eat healthy etc but they are really annoying and I would do anything to remove them.

You are a gem, Doctor. I have a couple of dark floaters that are mildly to moderately annoying depending on the day. As can be guessed, I’ve been told they are natural, and that my eyes are healthy - in other words: stiff up the upper lip. Even though I may be able to get by with them at the moment, it greatly gives me hope and calms my mind that there may be a way to treat them if deemed necessary. You give that hope and it actually helps me put the issue out of my mind to an extent. Should I require aid, I’d feel traveling to the US and seeking your consultation is something I’d definitely do. Thank you for practicing this rare but valuable service!

Best Dr and Best ophthalmologist, God bless you sir, you’re gem 💎, thanks for making that person’s quality of life better.. Looking forward to get similar treatment one day and hopefully it’ll be you doing it for me! 🙏

Dr estoy contando los dias espero berlo primero Dios desde Honduras

[mariadanezis]

Dr. Johnson I am thinking of coming to Texas to visit you.

[mariadanezis]

Do you have any new videos Dr, Johnson.

Is there a way to know if the eye floater is near the retina without any test?

[maartenb]

What did the patient say about the treatment? Was it satisfactory and did it offer a big improvement in vision? Was vision clear after the treatment, or was it hazy due to large pieces broken into smaller pieces?

[hiamp]

was this a very dense floater causing intermittent smearing across the patients eye when the patient moved their eye? 4:37

[tubeyana]

What is the reason why the "cloudy collagen" brutally keeps building up instead of the eye working properly? There are now hundreds of thousands of people of young age who suffer from the floaters after barely learning to use their eyes. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of millions of old people who never even noticed such a problem. Somewhere, there must be a clear answer to the root of the issue, not only the "healing bandaid" options. I've been observing the floaters building up in one of my eyes since the age of 12, so the old eye explanation is not the case. Assuming that we are what we consume, I can make guesses about the nutrients in the eye. The question is: what is the eyeball lacking in the delivery of nutritional supply that is supposed to not let the collagen build-up that way while maintaining the internal balance of the vitreous fluid consistency? It's all great that every dear ophthalmologist invites patients for their treatment (that always carries risks of complication) to make money, however, I haven't heard one yet to confidently define the root of the cause. "It is normal because the eye ages" is as far as it goes.

Please doctor tell us about except the location of the floaters, is the type of floaters like thin hairs and small dots treatable ?can you hit very thin floaters

[zaffia]

Dr. James, I'm looking forward to seeing you in 2025, I'm counting the days. Hugs from Brazil.

[RegularEverydayMF]

Hey doc, in my teenage i played video games with maximum brightness in a complete dark room, after the i see centre vision is slightly dull. Can my retina ever heal?

[osamayasser]

Dr you use Three mirror and a special YAG laser machine or any YAG laser

[FlamesAtft]

Thanks for this Doc! My predicament w/Japanese Docs with my operations procedure for this exactly!!🙄🥹wanna have PROOF that this Laser operation CAN be done‼️🤨🫤

[junwooshin]

Hi doctor. I have eye floaters in both eyes since 2020. Im only 17 but I had eye flashing?? For a half year back in that time. Also my floaters are not multiple small dots but they are big black mass. Is it good idea for me to visit you to see whether I'm a good candidate or not? Cuz I know younger patients are less likely to be a good candidate for your treatment, but I guess mines are different from other younger patients' floaters. Well but now I'm used to these floaters so that's a relief haha

[FluxDigital]

Hey Doc, I was wondering if Tretinoin could exacerbate eye floaters in any way? I’ve been looking to get on tretinoin for my acne but I heard it could cause problems with eye health and I already have a bunch of floaters.

[knucklehoagies]

This type of treatment is only for floaters in the center of the vitreous. If your floaters are located close to your retina, vitrectomy surgery is the only way to go.
