Dr. Karickhoff began doing laser treatment of eye floaters in 1990 and has performed the procedure over 1,300 times on patients from 50 states and 27 foreign countries. He has done the only study of this treatment that was submitted to and monitored by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, has lectured on this procedure at Duke University and Georgetown University, is the only physician who has written a book on this treatment, and will make a presentation on it at the international meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Las Vegas Nov. 2006.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater
Normally, there is no treatment. Floaters may become less annoying as sufferers grow accustomed to them, even to the extent that they may no longer notice them. If a floater appears directly in your line of vision, try moving your eye up and down. This causes the vitreous humour to swirls about and helps to shift the floater elsewhere.
Vitrectomy (an operation to replace the vitreous humour with saline solution) may be successful in treating more severe cases, however, the procedure is typically not warranted in those with lesser symptoms due to the potential for complications as severe as blindness.
Another treatment is laser vitreolysis. In this procedure a laser is focused onto the floater and in a quick burst vaporizes the structure into, presumably, a less dense and not as noticeable consistency. This procedure can be time consuming and there is no consensus as to how completely effective it is. One study found laser vitreolysis "to be a safe but only moderately effective primary treatment conferring clinical benefit in one third of patients".
