Question

What are the better ways to treat floaters in children with retinal disease?

Answer

Floaters typically do not require treatment, but if they are caused by hyperactivity of the liver Yang and malnutrition of the meridians, it is important to ensure adequate sleep and may include the use of drugs like Mingmu Dihuang Wan, Zhipei Dihuang Wan, or drinking herbal infusions of Goji berries, Cassia seeds, and chrysanthemum flowers. Before treatment, it is necessary to identify the cause, implement symptomatic treatment, and combine lifestyle care, such as eating less spicy food and more eye-protective foods.
