A total of 280 patients presenting 280 eyes were enrolled and received a series of ocular examinations. Each of our specially designed capsules contained 190 mg bromelain, 95 mg papain and 95 mg ficin.

Results: In Experiment 1, 80 subjects with one SVO (symptomatic vitreous opacity, or “eye floater”) were reduced to 24 cases (30.0%; 24/80), 40 participants with multiple SVOs were decreased to 11 cases (27.5%; 11/40) three months later. In Experiment 2, the numbers of patients with SVOs in the placebo group was similar after three months. The disappeared rates of SVOs by treatment with fruit enzymes was 65.5%, 70.0% and 75.5% and for those taking one, two and three capsules daily as therapy, respectively. Hence, the results showed that the effects of treating SVOs in a dose-dependent manner; the higher the dose, the greater the SVO reduction. We also suggested that the mechanisms of dissolving and absorbing SVOs may be due to the proteinase and associated hydrolysis and antioxidant activities that may clear the compromised opacity and scavenge free radicals in the vitreous. In addition, there were no serious side effects or discomfort during treatment.

Conclusion: We demonstrated that mixed-fruit-enzyme including bromelain, papain and ficin may excise SVOs and even eliminate intraocular hemorrhage by cleaving the collagen fibrils and cellular debris that may induce ocular floaters.

I thought the same thing.

I pointed this out in my “Today’s News” column at www.uncoverdc.com yesterday:

Isn’t it interesting so many (this is #4 in two days) stories about medical advances/breakthroughs are surfacing in the last weeks?

Almost like the medical community knows its reputation is about on par with that of serial killers and phone scammers.

FYI, I bought this item from Amazon. Two 4-oz. bottles, with droppers, for $30. If used only as eyedrops, it's enough to last a lifetime! MSM is a sulfur compound and is also widely used for joint pain. So if you have aches and pains these drops can also be added to your favorite liquid -- a couple of drops to 8 oz. -- and taken internally. Can't hurt, and there are many anecdotal testimonies to its efficacy. PS: I am not a doctor. In the end, you're on your on. We all are.

I appreciate your feedback on this - I will definitely give it a try as I have been experiencing the ‘floaters’ for several months now. Thank you again!
