If you're interested in learning more about the XFloater Project or getting involved, there are several ways to do so:
As we age, the vitreous humor inside the eye liquifies and contracts, causing collagen fibers to clump together. These clumps cast shadows on the retina, resulting in floaters.

For those concerned about the project's status, it is crucial to understand that the research did not vanish. As the XFloater project came to a close, the team planned to apply its findings to future research and to engage with industrial partners to develop the technology further. The project's innovations in OCT imaging, adaptive optics, and femtosecond laser safety parameters have laid the groundwork for subsequent initiatives. Many of the same researchers and institutions, like LZH spin-offs Rowiak GmbH and neoLase GmbH, continue to work on similar technologies today.
To ensure the laser beam remains tightly focused, the system employs adaptive optics to compensate for the natural aberrations of the patient's cornea and lens. Help grow the Eye Floaters Action Movement group - Facebook

飞蚊症是由眼球内部的玻璃体发生液化、萎缩或变性引起的。随着年龄增长或长期用眼疲劳，玻璃体内的胶原纤维会聚集在一起，在视网膜上投下阴影，形成我们看到的“飞蚊”。 As the XFloater project came to a close,
The (IGF project no. 21011 N) is a pioneering research initiative focused on developing safer and more effective laser-based treatments for symptomatic vitreous floaters. Spearheaded by the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) and supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics, the project aims to optimize laser vitreolysis to improve the quality of life for those suffering from "mouches volantes". Understanding the Problem: Vitreous Floaters
XFloater项目自2020年2月1日启动，至2022年10月结束，是德国工业联合研究（IGF）计划的重要组成部分，项目编号为21011 N。
By using femtosecond lasers, the project seeks to reduce the energy required for treatment, making it gentler on surrounding ocular tissue.
