The VDM Project aims to unite eye floater patients and change perceptions of this condition within the medical community and the world in general. Only by doing this can we develop a safe and effective cure.
Eye floaters are dark disturbances in your vision. They may look like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes. For some people, this can be a debilitating condition that has a significant impact on quality of life. Floaters arise from the gel that fills the center of the eye, called vitreous. Vitreous Floaters can affect the patients’ ability to concentrate, read, drive, and enjoy outdoor activities. Those who experience floaters often report symptoms of severe depression and anxiety.
While options do exist, they come with risks of life-altering complications from vision loss. Although these outcomes are very rare, the VDM Project is striving for new safe and effective cure(s), restoring clear vision to eye floater patients.
But we need your help.
Simply subscribing to our newsletter will help our research efforts.
It’s vital that the true number of eye floater patients is known, allowing us to show medical researchers, governments, and industry just how widespread this condition is.
Donations are essential to fund medical research.
This not-for-profit movement is currently organized by a team of volunteers. Funding is essential to research a safe cure for eye floaters.
With enough members, we can demand change in the medical community.
The pharmaceutical industry needs concrete numbers to dedicate funding and resources. Our unified pressure group will result in better diagnostics and treatment.
In this phase, clinical trials will be expanded to humans.
This can only be achieved with an active pressure group and enough funding. Phase 4 will result in a safe, effective and accessible cure for this disease.
The VDM Project is made up of volunteers, contributing their skills for a better future.
We’re looking to recruit members in all areas, including: Translation / Design / Social Media / Philanthropy / SEO / Medicine / Business Development / Content Creation / Strategy / Web Development / Awareness & more.
If you can contribute, we would love for you to join.
