Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 50

dsolve((2/y(x)-y(x)/x^2)+(1/x-2*x/y(x)^2)*diff(y(x),x)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= \sqrt {2}\, x \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\sqrt {2}\, x \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {\left (c_{1} +\sqrt {c_{1}^{2}-8}\right ) x}{2} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {\left (-c_{1} +\sqrt {c_{1}^{2}-8}\right ) x}{2} \\ \end{align*}
