Well there is a surgery to remove floaters called a vitrectomy (this type surgery is also used for other eye conditions). The problem with having a vitrectomy for the removal of floaters is for one, floaters are harmless and the risks of this type of surgery are pretty significant. Also, you tend to still have floaters even after the surgery just from the surgery itself. Our brains have a way of “ignoring” the floaters after awhile but that does not mean they go away and we tend to notice them more in bright lights and in a white room or looking at a white piece of paper.
Maybe someday something better will come along but for now the options are not very appealing.

I did not know that there was surgery for floaters.I know there are many causes for them, such as MS.
Are you short sighted? if so maybe eye laser surgery would fix both problems in one? Otherwise I don’t know…sry.
By the way floaters are dead vessels if you didn’t already know.
I have wanted this treatment since I was a kid. I’ve got lots of them floaters, & they interfere with vision in bright light conditions.
No such thing. Everyone gets floaters. Deal with it.

Unless you have a serious condition, no doctor will recommend that you have this surgery (vitrectomy). Floaters are generally harmless and the surgery carries quite a bit of risk. If you’re experiencing an increased number of floaters, you should see your eye doctor to make sure they aren’t a sign of something more serious.
