| FLT's vision files | |
| You can see the simulations made by other floater
sufferers downloading these files. To use these files you will need the Floaters Simulator v2.0. Feel free to download it from this page. Using the simulator “distribution tab” you will find the "floaters editor" program. Use this program to create your own simulation. Also if you want to share your floater simulation please send me an email and I'll be glad to put your FLT file on the web site. Note: The files are zipped to save space. If you just want to see some screenshots, do a click here. FLT file list: |

| What are floaters? |
| Vitreous Opacities (floaters) are small particles
suspended inside the human eye. In time the vitreous gel fluid becomes
more of a liquid as a result of the aging process causing these floaters
to become more and more numerous and visible. As the eyes moves these floaters change their position inside the eye causing strange visual displays which can be very annoying and often produce severe psychological torment for the floater sufferer. 
|
| What causes floaters? |
| The most frequent cause of floaters is a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) when the vitreous gel fluid that fills the posterior area of the eye separates from the retina and/or back part of the eye. A PVD can naturally occur with the age, but can also happen long before if the person is myopic. Floaters can also appear after an eye trauma like a strong blow to the head such as getting hit from a ball or in a vehicle accident, etc... |
| Floaters cure? |
| The current cure for floaters is a surgery called
Floater Only Vitrectomy (FOV). This surgery consists of removing and
replacing the old “floater infested” vitreous gel fluid
from the interior part of the patient’s eyes and replacing it
with saline solution. This saline solution is then very rapidly replaced
by the bodies own “naturally occurring” aqueous fluid.
I am somewhat afraid of this floater cure however because I do
not like injections! 
|
| Future floaters cure? |
| I haven’t heard of any floater sufferer
that has been able to eliminate their floaters by using any type of
medicine. Diet does not seem to help too much either.
Medical science is making rapid advances in surgical technology, however less aggressive and/or non-surgical methods to cure floaters is lagging far behind. Do you know of a non aggressive cure? if your answer is yes, then please publish it in www.floaters.net/fworld.html, hundreds of people will thank you for it. |
| Are you a new floater sufferer? |
| Have you have arrived at this page because you
have begun to see those annoying flies? You probably do not have any serious vision problems; however you should get a thorough eye exam from an Ophthalmologist just to make sure and to prevent any future complications. Please read more about your floaters by visiting the "general links" and "floaters webring" sections. 
|
| Why make a floaters simulator? |
| We have much to thank Eye Doctors for because
these individuals are in the unique position to improve our lives
from terrible things like blindness! After reading many forums on this subject I have regrettably come to the conclusion that the medical community as a whole is not doing everything it can to solve this insidious problem which affects so many people around the world I believe there are two causes by which the medical community fails to give the emphasis due the floater problem: First the appearance of floaters is mostly associated with age and is therefore usually a part of the natural aging process. While this is generally true, I have read many forums that floaters torment to many people who are less than 20 years of age, please take a look at www.floaters.net/fworld.html and read these forums for more information for yourself. second in most cases floaters are very small particles that remain invisible for an Ophthalmologist to see. While the Ophthalmologist has great difficulty in seeing these floaters the individual can see their floaters as big as a mountain or as big as a building. Unfortunately, it is also very difficult for an Ophthalmologist, who does not suffer from floaters, to really understand and/or appreciate the annoyance that floaters can become in our lives. This floater simulator program is my attempt to allow you to graphically visualize your floaters in a very real way by giving you the ability to display your floaters so that everyone will be able to understand and appreciate exactly what you are seeing. |
