In the general board Quartermaster wrote about new treatments that are under development. I thought it'd be good to re-iterate it here.  Quartermaster wrote: "Some of you may have heard by now that there appear to be two new treatment options for floaters. Both involve inserting fine needles into the eye. The first, which is said to be under trials at the University of Houston, Texas, involves inserting an attractive "pole" rod which is supposed to attract the floaters to the rod so as to form chelated material, after which the rod is withdrawn. The second. which was developed at a hospital in Linz, Austria, is the insertion of a "fine needle" to literally pick the floaters out, one by one. The Austrian TV were very enthusiastic about this and did a special report. " |

I heard that the "new treatment" in Austria is really just sutureless vitrectomy. I was hoping that I was a new safer treatment than vitrectomy but then heard that it was really just newer form of vitrectomy. I asked many people but seems that nobody is able to confirm. Can member living in Austria help? Maybe a personal visit to the hospital with the doctor that appeared in the program.

Hello,
I am a researcher and I would like to ask people to do a simple test to support my theory that a bacterial infection is the cause of most eye floaters.
test:
Take a strong acting fluid like alcohol or citronella oil and apply this to the palm of your hands.
Rub gently and see if dark little fibers or specks appear.
If not, wash and dry your hands.
Let them dry and look with an electric light against a black field for the presence of transparent little hairs to appear on top of the skin.
If positive, You may be infected with a new bacterium.
Please send me the outcome of your home test.

Sincerely,
Daniel Bell

uhm but I dont think so Quatermax ... he may be accidentally submited this post or he just want to hear the results for his researching seriously. I hope that he will find out the truth at the end of this research. Maybe or not this is also another aspect that we need to pay attention to.
Best wishes to all.

Indeed its always vitrectomy but now only with a minimal invasive technique, Austria represents the 25 gauge fine needle aspiration.
All existing techniques will take out the vitreous except laser and one doubtfully procedure that suggests using acid.czajb8l
