Welcome

If you are here because you suffer from Degenerative Vitreous Syndrome, and you are looking for support and guidance, then we hope that in due course this site will offer you all the resources you need to help deal with the condition on a daily basis, and to make a decision on whether treatment is suitable for you.  It may also help you achieve a greater level of support from friends, family and doctors who often do not appreciate the full implications of this potentially disabling vision perception disorder.

Sight loss and Vision Priority Setting Partnership survey is live

If you are affected by Degenerative Vitreous Syndrome; if you're a carer for someone who is or you are an eye health professional - you will want to take this short survey and help change the future of eye research!

We've reached our first goal!

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to an extremely generous gift from one of our supporters, we have reached our first goal of the Charity Commission earnings threshold.

This means that we can now apply to the Charity Commission and achieve the widely recognised full charity status.  This will lend us increased credibility and opens a number of doors to other organisations.  Of course the money will also be hugely helpful by going towards a number of important projects we have in the pipeline and updates will follow in due course.

Pioneering enzymatic vitreolysis treatment for floaters

A 2007 scientific publication recently came to our attention, "Posterior vitreous detachment and pharmacologic vitreolysis: The New Era of enzymatic vitrectomy". It talked about the use of plasmin, a protease from the patient's own blood, as an adjunct 15 minutes prior to surgical vitrectomy to induce posterior vitreous detachment .
