PSA: if you have floaters, try VitroCap for at least 6 months. It doesn’t help everyone, but makes life much easier for some like my mother

If I remember correctly, it contains some stuff from ordinary grape seeds that helps to orient back the fibers in a vitreous body.

Hence the at least 6 months to understand whether it works or not — new tissue takes time.

There are no fibers in a vitreous body. Nor does it contain tissue.

Just for fun: if you ever had eye surgery, there's a 50/50 chance the machine used is the one I designed.

Literally wiki: vitreous collagen is organized as thin *fibrils* 10–25 nm in diameter with cross-striations.

Or did you come here to say that ackkhhualy fibrils are not fibers and gel-like structure is not a tissue? :-) English is not my native language so excuse me for not knowing 50 words for snow.

Regardless of the terms, are you saying vitrocap cannot help orient those fibrils, reduce clumps / improve transparency of collagen and what have you to alleviate floaters?
