I went to see The Floater Doctor last year. He zapped my "Weiss Rings" and made a pretty good improvement, but I still have lots of problems caused by the posterior vitreous detachment, for which the only solution is removal of the vitreous gel and replacing it with saline or silicon.

As for bromelain, I get what the Solgar provides, plus I have a standalone bromelain supp (3000gdu) that I have taken only sporadically. Everything I've read suggests that it won't work, so I'm not very motivated to take it. I asked the floater doc about it and he said the theory is based on a single study that looks like it was funded by the pineapple lobby. I've looked at the study and wasn't impressed -- although here's a new study I've just found, published about the same time the doctor pronounced judgment on the first study (Nov 2022), so maybe he hadn't read this one at the time:
