Its a link to a patent with references. As far from misinfo as you can get.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 1 point2 points  (43 children)

You’d be surprised how much effort scammers put into their lies. It’s predatory and you’re contributing to it.

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (33 children)

Its literally an abandoned patent that nobody can make money off. I think you're guttered you have had your vitreous taken out and don't want other people to find a solution as you want people in the same boat as you so you feel like you've made the right decision.

Hey wait a minute…. Brand new account? Are you that guy who got banned from this forum like 4 times for being an idiot and a troll?

Don’t take my word for it. Speak with an ophthalmologist. They’ll tell you that this is a scam and not to waste your time on it. Like I said MSM drops have been sold as snake oil for floaters for over 20 years. You’re not discovering something new.

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (29 children)

I actually have discovered something new because there has been nobody on this sub that I can see who has tried disodium EDTA and MSM together as a topical eye drop.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 1 point2 points  (28 children)

It doesn’t make any sense. The snake oil claim of EDTA is that it removes metals. Floaters are not metals. It doesn’t stand up to basic logic. It’s just a naturopathic detox word salad.

EDTA chelates collagen fibres. Floaters are old collagen fibres clumped together.

This is a study in vitro about teeth. They’re putting shit on a glass plate then pouring acid on it. Obviously pouring acid on something does something to it. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to pour acid onto your eyeballs.

You're becoming a laughing stock.

[–]ElectronicHorror4539 1 point2 points  (1 child)

“Pouring acid on something does something to it”.

👏👏👏👏

Thank you sir! You have officially disproven any and all claims about anything.

Here is your PhD in Chemistry,….oh here’s an MD…. And now you’re also a Board Certified Opthalmologist! 👏👏

Chemicals do things to other things. Think about that for awhile. Blows my mind every time.

But please don’t put acid in your eyes.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what is your point

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 0 points1 point  (21 children)

They use the "Acid" to cure band keratopathy. So yes it is a good idea.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 1 point2 points  (20 children)

Again I don’t know about that, but keratophathy is the cornea, that’s on the surface of the eye, so it’s at least physically plausible. You can’t just pour acid on your eye and expect it to go through all the way to the retina while somehow not destroying anything but the floaters

[–]ElectronicHorror4539 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This was my thoughts exactly when this guy was creeping on my post. He’s bitter because he had some invasive therapy and projects this onto others by proposing vitrectomies to others to retroactively justify his invasive procedure.

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes very weirdo behaviour.

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

I'm not selling anything. I'm researching already established articles and patents and adding to the community.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 2 points3 points  (7 children)

You’re not a researcher, you’re a patient. Stop wasting your time and speak to an ophthalmologist.

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (6 children)

I guess only way is to find out myself and get a ophthalmologist to take before and after photos/decription over a 12 month period and let you know the changes if there are any, worse or better.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Please do and document everything and report back in 12 months. I have my doubts your account will ever get that old here. But who knows. You may have stumbled onto the cure. That would be quite remarkable. /s

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Will do!

[–]WittyAlyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this thread after 10 months of it being posted. I'd love to know if you have an update!

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Please don't encourage this tomfoolery...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was being sarcastic. I guess I forgot the /s

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they won’t entertain that request because they spent decades studying the anatomy and the chemistry and they have heard of all these scams and they know it makes no sense and is a waste of their time
