Vicious Eye Injury. (very important)

I haven't read this entire post and maybe somebody has already mentioned this but there IS a treatment for floaters.

See:
http://www.eyefloaters.com/

There are also supplements and I prefer custom made supplements as can be found here:
http://www.mitamins.com/

I also have floaters. They started showing up when I was a teenager and not related to any particular activity. The eye doctor said they are normal and many people have them due to a particular vein that fails and breaks up with age.

I do not consider them to be an injury but they are very annoying and, some day, I will likely pursue lazer treatment for floaters if the supplements, I just ordered, don't help.

Scorch - let us know how well those supplements seem to help you.

I don't think there is normally a risk of Aneros use causing floaters or other eye injury. There were probably complicating factors in this case. However, I've noticed sometimes for myself when in intense orgasms I do focus intently on one point or even have my eyes roll back, or other pressure. I'd recommend everyone be careful and aware of your eyes during use and don't over strain them.

Well, supplements are a long term attempt. Doubt I will remember to come back here 6 months or later.

I can tell you that floaters do tend to change. Some months are more annoying than others and I've heard digestive health can also be a factor.

My yoga and relaxation teacher insist during many exercises involving energetic breathing that the eyes tightly closed, and after two years she still checks when doing theses exercises as she maintains that a lot of pressure is put on the eyes during these exercises and by shutting them this pressure is relieved, equalised or neutralised to avoid any damage to the eye.

I, always, during sex and now while using the Aneros have my eyes tightly shut as I enjoy blocking out the visual senses as to heighten / enhance my other senses and experience them more and look inward into my body to enjoy each and every sensation.

From what has been said in this thread, I can only recommend to all to close your eyes while riding the Super-O.

I really feel for you, I want to tell you that these are not likely to be permanent. I have had floaters most of my life, never as bad as your attack, but enough to be a big bother. I did a lot of research into them a few years ago, and here are a few thoughts that might be helpful. First, if this was a form of ocular hemorrhage from a blood-pressure spike, as I suspect it was, I believe the floaters are almost certainly composed of strands of blood cells, not fibrin. If so, they should eventually dissipate, the same way blood cells in a bruise do. Mine tend to come and go. I used to regularly read several online floater forums; one comment that came up several times was the claim that masturbation caused floaters. I wouldn’t be surprised if it may be true, since orgasm is one of the most intense experiences we can have (but it sure didn’t stop me).

And I think we are all at risk to some degree. And not just floaters. I have a daily morning massage routine with my wife during which she masturbates me; for a long time part of this routine would be with me inverted on the couch, with my legs up in the air and my head on the floor. Suddenly one day I had an attack of vertigo so powerful I nearly fell over. Severe dizzy spells came and went for a couple of months and finally cleared up. I suspected it was trauma to my inner ear caused by my inverted sessions. I never took that position again, and the vertigo is gone.

I went to an opthalmologist who had developed a method of clearing floaters with a specially developed laser. I spent several thousand dollars having my floaters cleaned out, and it worked very well, for about 6 months. Then they began coming back again. So I wouldn’t recommend this approach, unless you can afford to have it done a couple of times a year. After that, I decided to just put up with them.

Also, on the floater forums I learned that some eye surgeons will perform
Floater-only Vitrectomies, meaning they insert needles into your eye and replace all the vitreous fluid. Again, this is expensive and also probably risky, although the current technology is highly refined.

Being an aneros beginner, I have not yet had any kind of orgasm with the device, so I can’t even imagine the intensity of your session, but from the description it sounds like you went way beyond the usual level. One question that occurs to me, probably best answered by B Mayfield or one of the other experts here, is: what control does one have over the intensity? Once the big O starts, is there any way to throttle it back? And when you are in that state, would you even have the will power to try?

From my vertigo experience, I guess the one practical warning I would pass on to everyone is to avoid being inverted during any activity that increases your heart rate/blood pressure. I think it puts a dangerous strain on all the equipment in your head.

Hang in there. I’m a whole lot older than you are and in my experience, I get new floaters from time to time, but none of them ever last indefinitely, they eventually go away. I hope you will keep us posted.

Wonderful post Woodsman. Tks for the good info most of which was new to me. Good news was the hope that floaters will reduce with time.

I'm still putting up with a couple of big blobs that appeared when I woke up from major belly surgery three years ago. Surgeon said that the 'probable' cause was my use of blood thinners combined with a BP spike while under. Roll of the dice, odds like the optic nerve damage that sometimes happens following Viagra use.

Hi, I'm still new to this so bare with me.

I am terribly sorry for your floater problems. I only wish I knew a way to help. 😥

I have had floaters for a long time now. I think they started some twenty years ago now. They are bothersome and not anything that ruin my vision but certainly bother me. Especially when I wave my hands in the air to swat bugs that aren't there, as you said. 😳

I have found this out from my experience, I hope this helps.

I have been using a computers since I was 9 or 10 years old when they were just hooked up to TV's actually. I have found that the more I use the computer for extended periods where the screen is unchanging that the more I get the floaters. Also the less I blink during my computer use the more floaters I seem to get. I have to school myself to even blink most times, especially during games. I know of a lot of computer gamers that have this problem. 🙁

I believe that what might have caused your floaters is that your eyes focused on one single object, causing your eyes to literally lock for a time and become unblinking and causing the eyes to dry out somewhat. I think, and I'm no doctor, that this fixing of focus on a single object and drying out of the eyes may be the cause for most floaters in computer users and maybe those that have pleasure when at their computer or with there eyes open during the time. 😉

I do know this, and this is hard to write since I'm still new to this, that when I climax when using images on a computer or writing that I tend to get more floaters for a number of days afterwards even. I think from the pics and images I've seen of women during their climax with their eyes shut loosely, out of instinct I believe, that they may have the right idea. I think this lessens the pressure on the eyes and causes their eyes not to fix focus on one object and not to dry out. I think when we climax with our eyes open that this happens a lot to everyone and that they may just not have it as long as others. As to Super-O's, I can't relate to that yet, not that far on my journey yet.

Hope this might have helped someone.

Floaters happen with age. Many people get them at some point without straining themselves, usually later in life, 40 ~ 60+.

It could be you were on the verge of developing your own floater, and the Super-O just got you there quicker.

Sorry! Good news is, that they will go away over time in normal and dark lighting conditions.
