There are several reasons why a person may note "floaters". Typically, floaters are remnants of blood vessels that were present in the gel part (behind the lens) of the eye during early development. These blood vessels break apart after the eye is developed during fetal development. They are painless, and are seen only when the eyes are open, and seem to dart away when you try to fix on them. They are harmless. You can not get rid of them. Just enjoy the show.
Floaters associated with a sudden shower of black dots or flashing lights, sudden change in your vision, development of eye pain or eye redness requires medical evaluation.

I read this brochure at the eye surgeon's office about floaters and it said that you can't do anything about them. They are what they are, which is blobs of stuff in your vitreous fluid. They never change, and if they DO change and all of a sudden you get a lot of them, call the doctor because you may have detached your retina. So, you can't get rid of them

Eye floaters are related to blood pressure, blood sugar changes.
As far as I know you can not get rid of them but lowering blood pressure /blood sugars will reduce thier frequency.

Not exactly sure, but I think it's related to blood pressure getting low. That's why you'll often get them when you stand up suddenly. May also be a vitamin deficiency.

You can`t, I don`t think. My eye doctor says that they are pieces of the retna that have somehow broken off and they are just there. Sometimes you see them, sometimes you do not. They can drive you nuts sometimes.

You can't. They are there for life as they are inside the eyeball, floating in the fluid (hence the name).
