Does warm compression on eyes help make floaters less noticeable?

Great question I would love to find out mine are getting worse . I scared my wife and son thinking there was a deer standing by the road luckily it was a field across from our house and we were about to turn in our drive. I also read dehydration makes them worse. I struggle at times getting enough fluids in me.

My Optician sent to a Vitreal Eye Specialist thinking that I had a torn retina. It looked like a river of "logs" floating through my eyes! Turns out I didn't but whatever they did which was a total of about 30+ drops in my eyes and several stages of testing, made them go away. I have an annual check up once a year now (for a total of 4 years) and the drops and test are less but more than a normal eye checkup. I have recently noticed that a have one tiny floater but am soon due for a regular eye exam so I'll let you know what I find out! I don't think a warm compression is going to work..but you could I can't see how it would hurt?? Good Luck!!

I am also very interested in the type of drops and the brand.
I have a floater that moves as if a spider on a sting, moves when I shake
my head, but stays in the same area. I had, like a thin curtain for a time, but
it seems to have past lately. This is about 18 months now.

I was told my other eye has WMD, but it seems to improve in the 3 months, I have
an appointment next week. I did not take the shots I was scheduled for since each month
it improved.

My ophthalmologist said there is no external treatment that will significantly help with floaters as they are in the eye’s interior. He said that there are a couple of surgical procedures that can be done, but each has its own risks. One uses a laser to disrupt the floaters and the other removes the vitreous fluid. In my case, I have a history of multiple retinal detachments and unstable retina, so I am not a candidate for either.

@burnsie, I hope you saw the helpful posts from members like @usc94 and others. You might also be interested in this related discussion.

Has your ophthamologist recommended any treatment to help with the floaters?

My floaters (PVD's) worsened after cataract surgery. My optometrist does not recommend the laser surgery in the vitreous to remove them.

Personally for me, the eye heat packs only worked to help dry eyes.

The floaters are very annoying I know. I have 20/20 vision after cataract surgery, BUT, the floaters make it very hard to focus.

I am so sorry you have these. After a while, my brain has adjusted to them and I do not notice them as much. Praying for you.

18 months later. I did get the shot, won't say which. Mistake, maybe.
It seems that what they thought was WMD, wasn't. I couldn't see the letters on the chart, but that was due to the letters looking like a very bad "capture" squiggle. A blood vessel was expanding in the eye and after the second shot (5 months after this began, it burst. The shots are to absorb the blood, they did. This week, after suspending shots 2 months ago, doctor said my eye is stable, no blood. What I do have is a scar over the center of the retina(?) so I have a dot in the center of my field of vision.

Asking about the shots, since the vessel burst only after the second shot and during a time of high blood pressure exercise, he said the shots are still/were in testing stage. MY.MY opinion, if there is no blood in the eye, talk to a blood specialist.

Is ur retina is okay now? Can you see now?

I also undergo from retinal detachment surgery but it didn't work

My retina are holding up ok. I have portions of my visual field that are spotty due to 4 detachments. These are less of a problem than the floaters. This being said if I stare at something for a few seconds I my brain puts a pretty decent picture together. Over time I have adapted to my visual impairment and can pretty much do what I want to.
