Samual wrote:To start with, Ontraocular injections carry more risk than surgery. Besides that, a lot of what you mention, don't sound as a good way to remove floaters. And, how do you want to research that....? For good healthy eyes there is already a very good way to remove floaters....a FOV with PVD!!! If you have a good surgeon, the succes rate is very big! Yes sooner or later you will get cataract, but cataract surgery is a surgery with almost the highest succes rate of all the surgeries that are done! RD, yes a little chance, but in more than 90% of the cases they can fix it. Infection, very, very, very rare. Of course some people here say " my FOV went completely wrong" and I am sorry for them. But this will be the case, no matter the (new) method that is used. Of course we all want a method with no risk at all, but that will be impossile. A FOV is a good method with acceptable risks for most people. The only problem is the lack of good surgeons around the world, AND fear!! Lot of the information here on the forum is wrong, or can relate to one single person. Some people die after a single visit to the dentist. If you post these stories on a forum and post also some wrong information, it looks like it is dangerous to go to the dentist. The same is happening here. FOV is a good and relatively save method in most cases, with good results. A possible new method won't beat that easilly!!

Vitrectomy ports are sterilized 25g metal ports through which encased tools are inserted. Injection utilizes a hypodermic needle in a nonsurgical setting. If you research the topic, you'll find many surgeries carry less risk of your common bacteria infection than an office based injection.
