The VDM project aims to find an effective, low-risk treatment for floaters.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vdmresearch.org/ |title=Home |website=vdmresearch.org}}</ref> So far, there have been studies using [[colloidal gold]] or [[indocyanine green]] (ICG) injected into the eye followed by a low-energy laser to target problematic floaters, and this has shown to be successful on vitreous opacities obtained during vitrectomy and in rabbits.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sauvage |first1=Félix |last2=Fraire |first2=Juan C. |last3=Remaut |first3=Katrien |last4=Sebag |first4=J. |last5=Peynshaert |first5=Karen |last6=Harrington |first6=Michael |last7=Van de Velde |first7=Frans J. |last8=Xiong |first8=Ranhua |last9=Tassignon |first9=Marie-José |last10=Brans |first10=Toon |last11=Braeckmans |first11=Kevin |last12=De Smedt |first12=Stefaan C. |title=Photoablation of Human Vitreous Opacities by Light-Induced Vapor Nanobubbles |journal=ACS Nano |date=23 July 2019 |volume=13 |issue=7 |pages=8401–8416 |doi=10.1021/acsnano.9b04050|pmid=31287662 |hdl=1854/LU-8627551 |s2cid=195870794 |url=https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8627551 |hdl-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://cen.acs.org/materials/nanomaterials/Laser-heated-nanoparticles-bust-eye/97/web/2019/07 | title=Laser-heated nanoparticles bust eye "floaters" }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://iovs.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2776180#:~:text=We%20propose%20a%20nanotechnology%2Dbased,evaporation%20of%20the%20surrounding%20water.|title=Gold nanoparticles for the treatment of eye floaters by light-induced vapor nanobubbles|journal=Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science|date=21 June 2021|volume=62|issue=8|pages=3307|last1=Sauvage|first1=Félix}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sauvage |first1=Félix |last2=Nguyen |first2=Van Phuc |last3=Li |first3=Yanxiu |last4=Harizaj |first4=Aranit |last5=Sebag |first5=J. |last6=Roels |first6=Dimitri |last7=Van Havere |first7=Viktor |last8=Peynshaert |first8=Karen |last9=Xiong |first9=Ranhua |last10=Fraire |first10=Juan C. |last11=Tassignon |first11=Marie-José |last12=Remaut |first12=Katrien |last13=Paulus |first13=Yannis M. |last14=Braeckmans |first14=Kevin |last15=De Smedt |first15=Stefaan C. |title=Laser-induced nanobubbles safely ablate vitreous opacities in vivo |journal=Nature Nanotechnology |date=17 March 2022 |volume=17 |issue=5 |pages=552–559 |doi=10.1038/s41565-022-01086-4|pmid=35302088 |bibcode=2022NatNa..17..552S |hdl=1854/LU-8755668 |s2cid=247501386 |hdl-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.drugdiscoverynews.com/safer-eye-floater-treatments-come-with-a-burst-of-nanobubbles-15396 | title=Safer eye floater treatments come with a burst of nanobubbles }}</ref>
