Dear doc

my question is how useful Vitreosolve would be ...........and when should we expect it to be available......would it help patients who want their floaters to be removed by vitrectomy....

This drug is in stage III clinical trials and it is not even clear if it will become FDA approved.  It is claimed to reduced diabetic retinopathy complications by allowing the vitreous to separate from the retina.  I don't have any personal special knowledge of the product or its chances of approval.
