Here is something worth knowing: with vitamin C, the form and dose matter for your eyes. In the research Dr. Glen has gathered, plain ascorbic acid over ~1,500 mg/day is associated with greater floater risk (in women over 40, roughly 8x for floaters in general and about 23x for fibrillar floaters), partly because its acidity reduces absorption of the minerals the vitreous needs.
Dr. Glen's recommendation: switch to Magnesium Ascorbate. It is non-acidic (so it will not block mineral absorption or trigger the loose stools that high-dose ascorbic acid can), and it carries magnesium, a mineral your eyes and nerves depend on, into the body alongside the vitamin C. That lets you support your eyes at a gentler dose.
Are you taking the right form? (And if floaters come on suddenly or with flashes, see your eye doctor.)
