The is a German research initiative led by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) aimed at developing a safer, more precise laser-based treatment for eye floaters (vitreous opacities).
The world has ~80% of its offshore wind potential in waters deeper than 60 meters. Without floating wind, nations like Japan, the US West Coast, Norway, and Portugal cannot scale renewable energy.
Clear vision – project for safer laser treatment of floaters started
Uses nanosecond laser pulses to vaporize floaters. However, it often lacks the precision needed to safely treat opacities near the lens or retina, potentially causing collateral tissue damage. Core Technologies of the XFloater Project
