How to Clear Up Eye Floaters

As you grow older, your eyes age just as the rest of your body does. A once clear view of the sunset now might be shadowed or spotted by what is commonly referred to as an "eye floater." A floater is made up of clumps of cells in the vitreous humor, which is a clear gel-like in the eye. Over time, floaters will naturally decrease and in some cases completely disappear. For those who are not willing to wait, there are natural botanical remedies that can decrease or even eliminate floaters from your view, although these methods are not verified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
