So today, you're going to hear a recording of a session that I gave recently and we covered a variety of different topics. My take on floaters, cataracts, monovision, progressive lenses, blue light, myopia, and astigmatism. So I hope you enjoyed the show. Thanks for tuning in. There are a variety of reasons why floaters occur. Here at my top five for dentistry and heavy metal toxicity, exposure to glyphosate, head trauma, too much blue light exposure, dehydration in the eye generally. So there's a lot of moving parts with floaters. But I would say number one would be to get the 15% as well, and start using it now one drop maybe two to four times a day. And it might work for you. It might, it might, it definitely has worked for a lot of people. Now, if it doesn't work, there's some other things that you could do, I definitely would consider the glutathione I would consider the glutathione sublingual, I would consider possibly doing a liver cleanse, or even some intermittent fasting that the liver and the eyes go together very intimately. We know this from Chinese medicine, get rid of any inflammation that is in your gut whatsoever. It's some cranial sacral get some acupuncture. So there's a variety of different things. blue blockers, also probably if you're doing a lot of screen time, because see blue light from any screen is going to dry your eyes out, which now brings me to dry eye. So basically, what's in the back of the eye floaters is a dry eye in the vitreous. The eyelids are the main culprit with dry eye in the front of the eye. So there, you can do that 5% more often during the day as a way to stay hydrated. You could also get some homeopathic eyedrops called uptake, and go back and forth between the Optique and the 5% until you reach kind of loading zone level of hydration during the day and then in the evening, what's a really nice thing to do is get yourself some organic castor oil and do a very light massage on the eyelids on the outside part of the eye, just a drop or two that castor oil heals wounds on the skin, it's really moisturizing. It may also help the cataract, it may also help the floaters and it'll keep your eyes moist in the evening, as to into the morning. So hydration is the name of the game. And I know you're plant based, but you need to consider some level of Omega three if you can. Omega three seems to really be important for dry eye. And 50% of the retina is omega threes. Not a lot of fats and oils are needed in the retina. But there are a lot of plant based sources. You can do an algae, you know you can do flax, you can do you know there's a lot of ways to go there. But I pay attention to the oils and fats chia seeds is another one I like. So those would be the things to do for the structure and the tissue around your eyes.
