    Generally, floaters are just debris, old cells, floating around in your vitreous humour in your eye & if you have been checked by an ophthalmologist & she says that your eye is ok, then you will have nothing to worry about.  The problem is, that once you have spotted them, then you will keep seeing them.  Dark glasses can help if they are a problem

    I used to have BIG floaters and cobwebs in my right eye..  One floater looked like a big bug.  I had to have a macular membrane peel.  To do that my surgeon had to replace the vitreous.   That took away the floaters completely.  Just wished the membrane peel had worked.
