Question:

I have many floaters in my vision. I have seen an optometrist two times and he told me that my eyes were fine and that these floaters are normal, but before I saw him I didn't see as many. Now it seems like they are all over. He tested me with a machine called optose or something like that, and he also compared a picture of my eyes to that of someone with severe floaters, in which case I could actually see black spots and lines in this other person's picture. I do not know what to do about them and they are really starting to bother me as I see them all the time. I see squiggly lines and now I see shades that look like dark clouds. I do not see any flashes of light. Is there anything I can take for this that will help them go away or am I just stuck with this problem? I don't even want to go outside anymore because it bothers me so much. I am also taking a supplement that he gave me called MaxiiVision. I have been taking it almost a month now and it has not changed anything. Please respond as soon as possible.

Answer:

It's very possible sex and/or masturbation could be the culprit here. Your problem is due to a disorder of the retina, the inner layer of the eye where your rod and cone light receptors are located. Your retina contains many inter-neurons that process optical signals before passing them back to the brain. Your eye floater problem generally is due to the deficiency of cGMP, nitric oxide and/or acetylcholine in your rod visual sensory nerves. Coincidentally, these same deficiencies occur in cases of nervous erectile disorder. For that reason, your retina disorder could have been brought on because of over-masturbation or over-ejaculation. Other causes are liver function disorders, a poor diet that lacks nitric oxide and acetylcholine precursors, drug abuse, or excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-adrenalin conversion.

Since you haven't told me about your sexual habits, it's hard to know if over-masturbation or over-ejaculation is the source of your retina problems. But keep this in mind: if you're ejaculating daily or even multiple times a day, you could be over-stimulating your nervous system and causing the deficiencies I cited.

I would recommend you stop masturbating for a few weeks. Let your body rest and replenish. Then you can come back to it with a lower frequency. A healthy habit is to masturbate and have sex a total of three to four times a week, assuming once ejaculation per encounter.
