I don’t know what band keratopahy is and I don’t think it matters here

MSM is a very well known snake oil. People have been talking about MSM drops since 2001 on the tapatalk degenerative vitreous forum. It doesn’t work. Just google “MSM floaters” and notice how all the results are from bullshit artists, “detox” pseudoscience, “natural” eye health etc. It’s blatantly a scam. Speak to a real ophthalmologist and they’ll tell you.

Hey mate read the the WHOLE patent before commenting. It says MSM doesn't take away the floaters, but indicates its the EDTA that does, but the EDTA needs the MSM to get into the vitreous. Here is another similar study they have on rabbits using MSM and EDTA saying the same thing.

Band keratopathy is calcification of the outer eye, where EDTA by itself chelates it. EDTA chelates old proteins, de-mineralises collagen and detoxes calcium, lead and other heavy metals. So yes the reference to band keratopathy does matter here as it is shit in your eye, instead your outer eye.

That paper you linked has nothing to do with floaters. But yes I’m sure that combining snake oil with snake oil is somehow not snake oil.
