“I’ve got these little black “floaters”” - those are annoying but they do fade - I hope you don't have a lot of them at one time.

“... and my eyesight is just generally getting weaker.” How long has it been since you went to eye doctor - if it's been a while, maybe you need your prescription changed if you wear glasses or need glasses if you don't wear them.

“I’ve been to the eye doctor and had macular degeneration ruled out, but I don’t want to ever get it.” If you suddenly can't see or see well in one eye, go to the doctor. That happened to a lady friend of mine not long ago and she had “shingles” in her eye. She doesn't have shingles anywhere else on her body. I had never heard of that - shingles in an eye.

“I’m also in the beginning stages of cataracts, but I haven’t noticed any symptoms from that yet.” Change in eyesight from cataracts is slow if you wear good sunglasses so sun cannot get in your eyes. Sun makes them grow faster. I had cataracts growing for many years before I had to have the surgery. I was religious to wear sunglasses during that time. Only this year did the eye doctor say glasses would no longer help and I wouldn't be able to pass a driver's license eye check so had to have the surgery.

“I want to take vitamins to keep my eyes as strong as possible as they go through the aging process.” Hopefully, on that that Swanson vitamin website you can find the right formula you can swallow.

I wondered if your eyes are dry? I use a drop of Walgreens eye ointment (for night time use) in each eye every night or my cornea would rip due to dry eye. A torn cornea is horribly painful and it takes three days for that to heal.

My eyes are very important to me as I read and write all day. Finally, after the cataract surgery, I'm in good shape and I use that eye ointment every night.

Let me know if you find what you are looking for on Swanson website. They are also the cheapest place to buy vitamins and supplements.

Much good luck to you,
