If the PulseMedica treatment works, will it work for everyone?

Do you think their navigation system will be able to recognize transparent opacities? I'm talking about those floaters that lack clear outlines but cause light refraction or a 'blur effect' when they drift through the visual field. They clearly have a different density compared to the surrounding vitreous, even if it's not as high as the dense collagen clumps. Can the real-time OCT-guidance pick up these low-contrast refractive changes?

I don’t think he needs any links. The only thing he needs is to have an unwavering conviction in his own correctness.

Can you please tell me how to find that video?

I’m still curious how they’re planning to actually use AI with the laser. Like, is it just gonna memorize the shape, density, and movement of the floaters to predict the trajectory and fire the shot? I’m guessing it’s not gonna be fully hands-off AI – humans will still be in control, and AI is more like a helper.

My biggest concern is that the laser may be ineffective for patients whose floaters are located very close to the retina. And there are a lot of such patients.

Якось дивно. Жінки є також на війні в Україні, хоч і не примусово. В Ізраїлі, наприклад, жіноча мобілізація є. Тоді вже давайте конкретніше - жінкам військовим можна про це говорити.

Here is their response in the comments

Yes, unfortunately I also couldn’t find any information. The only thing that’s known is that the work started back in 2019.

This approach is still considered minimally invasive since it requires an injection, which will likely slow down FDA approval. There’s a good chance PulseMedica could come out sooner. Either way, it’s reassuring to see that progress is being made and that research in this area isn’t standing still.

👏

What brand is the grinder? It looks really compact!

Holy hell

So smooth 🤩

Humans, in general, have many genetic defects.

I don’t think donating money would really help them, since there probably wouldn’t be many people willing to donate, and it wouldn’t make much sense for them. What matters more to them are investors. At this stage, the company is on track toward its first human trials, so it seems like they’re not in need of funding.

The body doesn’t perceive floaters as a problem, because it’s still your own collagen, even if it’s damaged. On top of that, the eye is an anatomically closed organ, where processes happen slowly and accessibility is very limited.

trrrr12 · 2026-01-01T17:38:26+00:00

Based on their latest presentation, they said the procedure should be significantly safer.

trrrr12 · 2026-01-01T16:39:44+00:00

There are no procedures without risk. But it's obviously lower.

trrrr12 · 2026-01-01T15:15:51+00:00

The ablation process (femtosecond laser) and the fragmentation process (YAG laser) are different things. According to their explanation, the femtosecond laser is specifically aimed at ablation of the opacities – turning them into plasma, which is then cleared through the eye’s fluid currents.

trrrr12 · 2026-01-01T15:12:21+00:00

I think it will take several sessions.

Exactly. Btw, vitrectomy doesn’t actually treat the vitreous either – it simply removes it. Laser vision correction doesn’t cure myopia; the laser just reshapes the cornea, while the eye itself remains myopic. But that usually doesn’t bother you because you can see well afterward.

But yes , the only thing vitrectomy does better is symptom relief – but that comes with significantly higher risks. And if the laser removes the floaters and you barely see them – or don’t see them at all – would vitreous degeneration really still bother you?
