They seem to be getting worse as the years go by. I'm open to most anything.

Homeopathy does offer treatment for eye floaters. there are many medicines available like kali-iod, kali-carb, phosphorus, thuja, sulfur, senega, silecia, natrum-mur etc. But the medicine that may help varies from person to person and it's not possible to tell u what u need without a detailed case analysis. At your age, when the senile changes in the viterous or the retina are not marked, the prognosis is very good.
What are eye floaters?
Everyone gets occasional specks in front of their eyes. These specks are known as floaters and they are especially common when looking directly at a light background, or when feeling light-headed.
What causes floaters?
Floaters are little specks of debris floating through the vitreous fluid in the eyeball. Sometimes people may momentarily confuse them with dust or tiny insects floating across in front of the eye. However, they are within the eyeball and are not eliminated by rubbing the front of the eye.
'Floaters occur within the vitreous fluid of the eyeball'.
Are they serious?
Under normal circumstances, eye floaters are absolutely nothing to worry about. Everyone experiences them from time to time and they cause no ill effects.
When should I start to get worried?
Specks in front of the eyes are normally clearly visible when looking into a light background. However, if they start becoming visible in every background, suddenly increase in number and are accompanied by any loss of vision, it is vital that immediate medical advice is sought. This could be an early sign of retinal detachment.
If the retina has become detached or has a hole in it, you will begin to experience flashing lights before your eyes and you will also be aware of numerous floaters. These two symptoms will be accompanied by a loss of vision, so urgent medical advice is necessary. Surgery is required to seal any holes in the retina, or to re-attach the retina to the back of the eyeball.

you generally can't treat them. They really are nothing more than an annoyance, and don't really cause any problems with vision.
Your eyes are filled with a fluid called the vitreous, a thick, kinda gooey fluid. When light enters your eyeball, it passes through the vitreous and projects onto the retina, the part way in the back of the eyeball that detects light. As you age, it is very common for the vitreous in small bits to harden, become more solid and less fluid. The denser, more particulate matter you see are floaters. It's very very common, and they really don't do anything to treat them.
Yes, they get worse as you age, it's all part of getting older. Some people have them worse than others. There's very little detrimental to your health and eyesight due to them though, and are mostly just an annoyance.

I am so glad you asked that question I have the same problem. Sometimes I turn around real quick because I see something out of the corner of my eye. They really are annoying I hope someone gives you an answer that helps. What kind of surgery did you have? If it was minor I will consider it. thanks
