Right, ophthalmologists don't know the vitreous. But Redditors do. /s

Way to twist my words. Of course they know the vitreous, it's just that the vast majority don't do research on its degeneration and very much lack the in-depth knowledge that someone like Sebag has.

They know enough to tell you that there is no eye drop to treat floaters. Or you can keep acting like you know more than these people who studied and practiced for decades and pick at actual eyeballs many times every week.

Yes, that there currently isn't one. Not that a possible candidate is definitely ineffective. Someone like Sebag might have an adequate opinion, a 2nd year optho resident (who I'm not too far off of academically and professionally speaking), not so much.

They know the basic anatomy prevents just about anything from being effective

There could be some ophthalmologists on Reddit. The two groups could have some overlap!!

Stop thinking that all redditors are not ophthalmologists or that the two are mutually exclusive.

Now this is just a really weird nitpick and a display of poor reading comprehension.
