I hope it works for you. My floaters never "go away" they're always around, had them as long as I can remember, but slowly fall out of vision if I maintain a steady gaze. They drift as I move my eyes around, like shaking a snow globe if you've ever seen one. Not severe but annoying especially on bright days while driving, walking in winter forests, or when looking at the white screen on the computer or on a page in a book, say, but I've gotten used to them. Like walking with a limp, you don't like it but you get used to it.

I'm told it's due to my myopia, around -9 diopters if I remember correctly. I had lasik correction 15 or more years ago but the floaters remain. A myopic eye will always be a myopic eye even after corrective procedures.

If a floater hangs around my central vision I move it by flicking my eyes a bit, like Scott Ritter sometimes does if you notice on his videos. I suspect he has floaters. Some may think he has "shifty eyes" or a nervous tic condition. Fwiw.
