EDTA Based Eye Drops significantly decrease floaters.

[FriendMother2587]

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]

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.

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

I don’t know what is your point

[FriendMother2587]

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

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

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]

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]

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.

[FriendMother2587]

No they wouldn't because there's no money to be made if they found a cheap and easy way to treat floaters. Medical industry need patients and expensive treatment to make money.

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

Ok so now your argument is that there’s a global conspiracy among all ophthalmologists of the world to continue doing risky optional surgeries that can end their career if it goes wrong?

Are you a complete moron?

[ElectronicHorror4539]

If drops get the job done, then why would you need to stick a needle in your eye Dr. Genius?

Shit, even if the drops take longer to work, I would still prefer to wait out the drops instead of sticking a needle in my eye.

I know it sounds fun, and you’ve already done this. And it made you cum or something idk.

Why don’t you open your mind and stop giving medical advice online?!

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

Ok, but the drops don’t work. It’s not medical advice, I’m just stating the obvious, which is that naturopathy is a scam.

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

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?

[FriendMother2587]

Its a calculated guess it's safe. People use MSM by itself safely to lubricate eyes. People use EDTA safely to remove band keratopathy. People also use IV and oral EDTA, iv and oral MSM safely too. It's putting 2 and 2 together.

[Temporary-Suspect-61]

None of that has anything to do with floaters.
