These are comments from all over the world ( PetitionOnline.com web site ) The Cure for Floaters Petition to Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and other eye research centers around the world was begun in April 2003 and now boasts over 4000 signatures and comments from fellow floater sufferers from all over the world. What impressed us most is the degree of frustration and desperation experienced by these petition signers.:

"Please help find a cure for eye floaters. They cause a lot of stress and unhappiness in sufferers. It would make the world to us if there was a cure" - Kirsty (19) Australia

"...then came the eye floaters. I did not know about it (thought it was normal) until I was 16. I told my mom, rushed me to the doctor and here I was waiting for a cure or medicine. No, I did not get it. I was SO disappointed. I cried. Until today, I search the net for medication and at least... hope. All I find is laser treatment and some vitamin recommendation." - John (19) Malaysia

" It makes me want to say stop I'm gonna throw up" - Jim (34) USA

"Please take this petition seriously. When a person is afflicted with severe eye floaters it is very devastating. Especially when you hear your doctor tell you there is no cure. And then to find out that no one is even working on a solution for this. For people who have severe cases of these it is like living in a prison. Careers are lost. Personalities change. Relationships end. Yes, there are many eye diseases that need cures but this is also an affliction that is worthy of a solution as the human misery it causes is very real" - John (41) USA

"Please come up with something for these floaters. I can't read a sentence without floaters blocking letters in the words. It is impossible to concentrate." Johnitta (52) USA
