Hello Doctor Bob, I’ve got question for you. 3 weeks ago, I noticed I have floaters on both eyes, on the right eye I have one big, and on left eye I have three small. My doctor told me, It´s caused bleeding into vitreous by pulling the retina or something like that ( I don’t know this medicinal concepts ). I am your fan, your website is wonderful, and I read on your website the carrot can be helpful to get rid of these floaters. True is, last month I had three anginas in a row, and few days after floaters appeared. Do you think eating one carrot a day, or drinking smoothie consisting carrot, floaters will disappear ? Is it bleeding into eye caused by lack of vitamin A ? Thank you for advice!

Carrots will help floaters MAYBE if there is liver compromise. If you have angina, there is a vascular issue. Vitamin C (red, yellow, and orange bell peppers) would be a wise suggestion. (More info in video)
