By the way, your eye doctor or optometrist can't see them; only you can. At my last eye exam, I asked the optometrist if she could see them; she said, "No, they're only visible to you."

Actually Ophthalmologists, who have more medical training than optometrists, have equipment these days (actually since at least 1999 when i was first diagnosed with corneal dystrophy) that makes them visible to the someone looking into a patient's eyes with that equipment which is why if you get a very noticeable increase of floaters in your 40s, early for natural age-related degeneration, you need to see an Ophthalmologist.

I didn't get floaters until around 64.

Further to what win says - a credible study was done by Taiwanese scientists about the importance of bromelain in relation of floaters.

See The Journal of American Science.

What neither you or win seem to understand is that the degeneration of any of the various kinds of tissue that exist within eyeball can cause floaters. Some are a bigger threat to your vision than others.

Unless you can provide a link to the JAS article why should i spend my time hunting for it?

One of the most crucial questions to ask about a study is who paid for it.

As Pinky pointed out some natural things that have some benefits for some people may not be helpful for others, and could actually be problematic for another group of people.

Thank you, tho i don't have time to read all those i will look at the Journal of American Science one soon.

i don't know why y'all are coming on as if i totally dismissed the validity of what you were saying---i simply pointed out that floaters are from more than one cause tho degeneration of cells seems to be key. i have personal experience with the kind that it would have been counterproductive for my long term eye health to simply mask the symptoms.
 
Since I read about the health benefits of the Ray Peat carrot salad, I have been making my carrots into a drink with adding pineapple juice, and sometimes an apple or a slice of cantaloupe and blending it all up. I still get all of the carrot fiber, and Ray Peat says it is supposed to be well chewed up anyway, so the blender probably does the best job of that.
This time, I ordered a fresh pineapple with my groceries, and cut it into chunks, using the center parts also. This will add more of the pineapple enzyme to my carrot drink and should make it even healthier.

The Walmart shoppers always just bring the smallest pineapple they see (at least it seems that way), and this one was still pretty hard and green, so it is a good thing that I am adding it to the blender before I have any of it, because I think it is pretty green to enjoy eating, but it was fine in my morning carrot drink. When we go to the store, I can pick out a nice ripe pineapple for next time.
 
Raw pineapple makes the roof of my mouth sore. I so admire you health conscious people who do the blending and juicing. My son is into that.
