→[Floaters] are a sign of weakness of the water of the kidney. The kidney is the mother of the liver. If the water of the kidney cannot nourish the wood element of the liver, the liver will experience “deficiency heat.” Since the gallbladder lies beside the liver, then when the wood element of the liver becomes withered and parched, the gallbladder chi will become insufficient. As a result, one will see floaters in the water of the eyes whenever one moves the head.

It’s common for dense cataracts to develop in nearly 50% of people taking 10 - 15 milligrams of prednisone daily for one to two years, which will not go away even after you stop the medication.
