Eye floaters: interesting research involving pineapples

[chemistry]

I'm aware that annoying eye floaters affect most people (myself included), especially as they age, but that treatment options are limited (ignore them, laser vitreolysis or a full-on vitrectomy).

Consequently I came across this and thought it was interesting...

Might well be crap...but if nothing else there's now a medical excuse for a daily Pina Colada

Worth a go, i've had loads since i was a kid, and a couple of bigger ones these days.

One in my left eye looks exactly like an old man walking with a cane.... random.

works for me - as long as I don't end up on a dreadlock holiday

TL:DR

Eat more pineapples reduce floaters?

Yep. 100g to 300g a day for 3 months. Reduced floaters by 2/3.

But your teeth will fall out.

No floaters, but you'll have stomach ulcers from all that acidic pineapple juice!

That’s ok, they’re probably only 1 dollar. Though you’ll need to sell your silver chain first.
