A safe and effective cure for eye floaters is our goal – as soon as possible.
While scientific research is the solution, it’s essential that we lay the foundation to have this disease recognized as a serious issue by the medical community – meaning a cure can be developed faster.
We have outlined our Tri-Project Proposal below with details on how we can greatly accelerate scientific research and help us pressure the pharmaceutical industry to cure eye floaters.
The VDM Project is exploring ways to receive governmental grants, but this won’t be possible without eye floaters being recognized as a serious problem first. We can only complete the program with funding, and we need your help.
We are aiming to raise $10,000 per month to achieve our goals.
Com os resultados desses projetos vitais, teremos a pesquisa quantificável para apresentar a institutos médicos que entenderão o grave impacto das moscas volantes - o que nos ajudará a desenvolver uma cura segura e eficaz mais cedo.
Uma cura segura e eficaz para as moscas volantes é o nosso objectivo - o mais rapidamente possível.
While scientific research is the solution, it’s also essential that we have this disease recognized as a serious issue by the medical community and society at large. This way, a cure can be developed faster.
We have outlined with the VMR Research Foundation and Dr. J. Sebag a Tri-Project Proposal below with details on how we can greatly accelerate scientific research and help put pressure on the pharmaceutical industry to cure eye floaters.
The VDM Project is exploring ways to receive government grants, but this won’t be possible without eye floaters being recognized as a serious problem first. We can only complete the program with funding, and we need your help.
We are a team of eye floater sufferers from around the world, united to find a safe and effective cure for this disease. We support the VMR Research Foundation and work with other international institutes. The VDM Project is committed to scientific research that will result in clear vision – but we need your help.

O nosso objectivo a curto prazo é curar esta doença, e o nosso objectivo a longo prazo é preveni-la.
To do this, our researchers need to gain a better knowledge of eye floaters at a molecular level. For a cure to be found, a better understanding of eye floaters is essential. As a combined effort between the VMR Research Foundation and university laboratories in Belgium, Germany, Poland, Spain, and the United States , this project is fundamental to understanding how eye floaters develop, and how they can be treated safely today, as well as prevented tomorrow.
Near-sightedness (myopia) has a strong correlation with eye floaters, but the reason is currently unknown.
Project Two will assess the changes in the eyes of patients with eye floaters to better understand how and why this condition occurs. Due to myopia levels increasing dramatically worldwide (estimated to affect 5 billion people per year by 2050), this project is necessary to gain the attention of governments and medical institutes globally. Once we have sufficient data, funding toward a cure is much more likely, meaning a floater-free future for sufferers.
Uma das nossas principais estratégias para que esta doença seja reconhecida por Governos, Institutos Médicos e Investigadores é mostrar a prevalência generalizada de flutuadores oculares.
Currently, a questionnaire frequently used by the U.S. National Eye Institute does not adequately show how eye floaters negatively impact the lives of sufferers. We aim to change this. A new questionnaire created by the VMR Research Foundation specifically measures the negative impact of eye floaters with quantifiable metrics, so we can accurately measure the magnitude of this problem for individuals as well as populations. This vital questionnaire will greatly strengthen our ability to apply for medical research funding and is a key step to curing eye floaters. We also anticipate that this questionnaire will provide sufferers with feedback on the severity of their disease.
Somente com o financiamento necessário podemos completar estes projetos essenciais e obter dados em tempo real que mostram como podem ser debilitantes os flutuadores oculares.
Todas as doações serão alocadas para a Proposta de Tri-Projecto de acordo, maximizando a nossa capacidade de as completar o mais rapidamente possível - o que significa que estaremos mais perto de encontrar uma cura.

Considerado uma autoridade líder no ramo do vítreo, o Dr. Sebag é autor de 233 publicações acadêmicas, a partir de outubro de 2020.
Um fellow do American College of Surgeons e do Royal College of Ophthalmologists (Reino Unido), o Dr. Sebag deu palestras nomeadas em todo o mundo, mais recentemente a Palestra Inaugural Robert Machemer para a Sociedade Européia de Oftalmologia (2019). Em 2006 o Dr. Sebag foi empossado como membro da Sociedade Americana de Oftalmologia, presidindo o comitê do programa em 2016. Em 2010 ele foi selecionado como Fellow da ARVO, a principal organização mundial de pesquisa oftalmológica. Em 2018 a Academia Americana de Oftalmologia concedeu ao Dr. Sebag o Prêmio Senior Career Achievement.
Na última década, o Dr. Sebag defendeu a causa das pessoas que sofrem de flutuação vítrea suficientemente grave para merecer o diagnóstico de Míodiosofia Degradante da Visão, uma condição que pode ser curada hoje com vitrectomia, mas amanhã com abordagens menos invasivas e até mesmo com prevenção, o objectivo final da Medicina moderna.
O apoio ao Projeto VDM fará com que o amanhã aconteça mais cedo.
Stay up to date with latest research, goals and plans. Wee need your support. Together, we must unite for clear vision.
