Has anyone discovered a self-cure for eye floaters?

I can give a long answer but here is the shourt verson. I had floaters. I saw a physician in Birmingham Alabama at Retina Specialists. As you grow older in life the vitreous (gel) in the sack of the eye becomes thicker. As it thickens it pulls the back wall of the macula downward resulting in posterior vitreous detachment (NOT to be confused with a detached retina). Over time the “sack” stabilizes and floaters become less of a problem. However, for some people such as myself the floaters got worse and never stabilized. Dr. Morros said I went from 20 20 vision to legally blind in minutes until I rubbed my eyes and vision improved. I had a vitrectomy (they sucked out the thick jelly and replaced it with saline) done in 8-07 and have no problems since. No floaters – no vision problems. And BCBS insurance paid for surgery as it is a medical condition.
