Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Floaters are because of opacities in the vitreous. Floaters by themselves does not require treatment.
However evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscopy is required to rule out associated retinal problems.
Do consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
