Hello people. Seriously, lets organize, if we become visible we can gain the attention of other sufferers and increase our numbers. The ophthalmological community is stuck in state of indifference, and that may never change unless we become a more resourceful and coherent force. Heck, maybe someday we can air a commercial to raise awareness. I can imagine it now...scene of mother watching child play outside through a veil of floaters, with a look of fake happiness on her face...scene of student attempting to take notes in the classroom through a veil of floaters, etc...the last scene should show the mother from scene 1 shutting her blinds and breaking down in tears.
I know this is all far- fetched, but there are ways we could become more active even with the limited resources currently at our disposal. Maybe we could peacefully gather at ophtalmological events and try to bring the issue to their attention in an undisruptive manner. It seems as if there are many bright people on here, I'm sure we could raise awareness considerably if we put forth effort. I know I'd add $500 plus to my considerable credit card debt if I knew that my donation would be matched by fellow sufferers. Seriously, let's convince the world of medicine to recognize floaters as the life-sucking disease that they are, perhaps we could initiate the first step in the development of a safe and effective treatment.
May all floaters be eradicated from the face of the earth, amen.
