Removal of floater in eyes?

Floaters are natural. They are caused by pierces of the Endotheliem breaking off and floating in the Vitreous Humor.

If you suddenly have a change on vision because of it, go see a doctor.

You should make an appointment with an optometrist to get it checked out. It's not anything to worry about necessarily but I think they give you medication for it. Anyway they will know how to treat it.

Floaters are common in people with astigmatic myopia. I have them. They're annoying but harmless. I've heard removing them is useless, because they recur. You learn to ignore them most of the time.

use VITREOLENT eye drops 3x daily for 2 weeks. if there is no relief, consult your ophthalmologist.

Depending on how annoying these floaters are, I would chance to say to try to ignore them. If they have just suddenly appeared, I would consult a specialist as it could be a sign of detachment of the retina. Are you seeing flashes of light from time to time? That is a clear sign of detachment or at least some kind of problem within the eye itself. I had spontaneous detachment of the retinas in both eyes. For me there was not much warning. The reason for the detachment is unclear except for my age at the time. As we get older, the vitreous fluid in our eyes congels but remains attached to the inside of the eye (the retina) until such time that it spontaneously pulls away from a part of the eye and takes a portion of the retina with it. In my case, I saw a sudden flash of light while cooking dinner one evening. I gradually began to lose sight in the eye and within twenty-four hours I was blind in the eye. I tell you this to let you know this could be serious and you should have it checked as soon as possible. Do not let the doctors receptionist put you off. There is only a certain amount of time the retina remains receptive to the surgery which is done to correct the problem. I hope what is happening in your eye is not what I have stated above, but know that if it is, and it is caught early enough, your signt should return. Maybe not to normal, but you will be able to see. I am fortunate. I am able to read with help and drive as well. Good luck to you. Now get busy and find a specialist.

In addition, I would say any intrusion into the eye itself has a risk factor. I would not remove these floaters just for the sake of removing floaters. I doubt any doctor would make that recommendation.

Hipefull is pretty right on.
MARCY gives a good but partially incorrect answer.

Floaters are cells floating around in the viterous of your eye(s),are normal and as fruit in ungelled jello will eventually find their way down in the viterous until you won't see them so much anymore.
As we get older (around our 50's but this isn't a set rule),the viterous starts to shrink and as it shrinks it pulls away from the retina.
We hope that it pulls away gently and does not disturb the retina but it can often times tug hard enough at the retina that it will tear holes in the retina. Once a hole is made in the retina the entire retina can come away from the back of your eye and it can cause blindness.
Abrupt trauma to the head can also cause this to happen at any age. . . fighters such as Sugar Ray Leonard is a good example.
When a hole is made in the retina,one sees great flashes of light as this is the retina's response to it's damage as it doesn't have pain receptors.
After a hole or tear in the retina is made,the floaters you see can now be blood and are often seen as a big spray of dots as reported by patients. They also compare it to something like seeing duck sillouettes taking off. Remember that the retina sees things in reverse so if you see a spray of dots flying upwards it is really going downwards.
IF a hole/tear is detected quickly enough it can be treated with shots of laser that actually "glue" the retina back down thus saving the rest of the retina but losing sight where the hole/tear is and the laser treatment is performed.
A FEW floaters are normal anymore than that and you need to see an Ophthalmologist immediately! ! ! I recommend an Ophthalmologist as they are the only ones who can laser the retina. Seeing an Optometrist first is only spending money to be told to see an Ophthalmologist and unless you have a truck load of money is a waste of money.
There are NO drops or ointments that will treat floaters! ! Don't waste that money either.

99.9% of the time you have to live with the floater. They are annoying, but the surgery to remove it is not fun. The only reason that the floater would be removed is if there was something else going on like a retinal detachment. Removing the floater requires removing the jelly from the back of your eye and inserting a gas to fill the space while your eye makes fluid to fill up the empty space.
