Abstract

Objective: The vitreous body is a transparent structure composed of water, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and glycoproteins. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the shape of the eye and ensuring clear vision. In this area, the formation of foreign bodies due to fibrous aggregation, posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), retinal detachment, and other factors is referred to as floaters, where the patient perceives particles floating in the field of vision. Although this symptom may not require special treatment in some cases, it can lead to vision deterioration and cause discomfort in daily life when severe. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the severity of symptoms through clinical consultation and fundus examination and apply appropriate treatment accordingly. Case Report: The patient in this case study is a male Korean in his sixties who initially experienced intermittent symptoms of floaters. Over time, the severity of the symptoms increased, leading to decreased vision and dry eyes. Therefore, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT), which included anthocyanins, collagen, hyaluronic acid, carotenoids, and bromelain, was applied to this patient. As a result, after approximately one month, the symptoms of floaters significantly improved, and the patient reported improvements in vision and alleviation of dry eyes with continued OCNT. Conclusion: This case study demonstrated that appropriate OCNT may help improve symptoms in patients with floaters. However, as this study was conducted on a single patient, its applicability to all floater cases is limited. Further research is needed to establish tailored OCNT protocols based on individual patient conditions.
