  Hello, as far as I know, magnesium is an important nutrient for body, but it cannot cure or reduce the number of floaters in your vision. Usually, you can just leave the floaters alone because the spots may settle out of your visual field. But if you have a large number of floaters or a large floater even blocks your vision, you will need a vitrectomy. So just go to see your doctor and have a check.

Then the way to heal eye floaters must be taken. As we all known, magnesium helps with bones building and energy supplying, which is an important nutrient for your body.
