Ask The Expert

Q: Do floaters ever go away? I’d be interested in taking eyedrops or supplements to help with this.
A: Noticeable floaters are usually present deep in the vitreous chamber of the eye. Unfortunately they aren’t really helped by eyedrops or supplements. If this is a new or worsening problem, you’ll need to have them assessed as soon as possible to make sure the interior of your eye is healthy. If it’s been established that your eyes are alright, you’ll have to have some patience with this. Most people adapt to having floaters. See us at Mosaic Optometry for even more information about your personal eye health!

Winter Pests & Health Hazards

Winter pests seeking shelter in homes can pose health risks to residents. Common invaders like mice, rats, and cockroaches bring allergens and diseases, exacerbating respiratory issues. Rodent droppings can trigger asthma, while cockroach debris is linked to allergies. Additionally, ticks and fleas, often carried by rodents, can transmit diseases. Pests may contaminate food, leading to foodborne illnesses. The confined indoor environment during winter intensifies exposure. To mitigate health risks, seal entry points, maintain cleanliness, and promptly address infestations. Professional pest control, especially before winter sets in, is crucial for a healthy home environment during the colder months.
