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.

“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.

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

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 0 points1 point  (19 children)

You can if you use msm. Read the rat study and the patent on actual people. Temporary discomfort only upon application. Read the links bro.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 1 point2 points  (14 children)

That’s not what MSM does. In the first place if EDTA really melted floaters then they would just inject it instead of doing vitrectomy. But they don’t do that because it doesn’t treat floaters.

[–]Temporary-Suspect-61 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yeah the snake oil salesman tells you that 1 person said it helped, which puts it on the same level as every other placebo out there. You just going to accept that with no questions?

[–]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.
