: While the project has successfully proven the efficiency of the laser system in laboratory settings, it is not yet ready for human trials. The goal is to provide the foundational data necessary for medical device companies to develop commercial treatment systems, with some estimates suggesting a viable treatment could emerge by 2030 .

For those currently suffering from floaters, the project maintains an online survey to gather data on the widespread impact of the condition.

: Current guidelines often avoid treating floaters near the retina due to the risk of laser burns. The increased precision of the XFloater system is designed to safely treat these "dysfunctional" floaters. 3. Research and Development

: Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) under the Promotion of Joint Industrial Research Programme.

To improve the precision of laser vitreolysis (the process of "vaporizing" floaters) so it can be performed safely even when floaters are located close to the retina. Key Technology: Femtosecond (fs) Lasers:
