I've had moderate floaters for a long time. I developed many more after having to look very near the sun for quite a while a number of years ago. And I may have found a way to help remove (at least some of) them. Although I've never read this, my own conjecture is that one cause of floaters is that you're actually cooking the proteins in the vitreous humour, and that this is especially likely if you're nearsighted, since that means there's a point in front of the retina where the rays converge to a point. I suspect this provokes a localized maillard-like protein cooking reaction (irreversible, just like cooking an egg) and that it's hard for your body to clear that out. This view is (slightly) further buttressed by the fact that my floaters have gotten a little (not hugely, but noticeably) better since I've been taking significant doses of senolytics (fisetin, quercetin, etc.) I wouldn't have expected those to make too much difference, since if the problem is just junk protein floating around, it's hardly alive, and I don't know why a senolytic would help unless the cooked cells still are alive, so maybe it's the result of some of the other things that I started at the same time (high dosing of K2, for instance) - it's hard to know for sure, but my floaters are definitely somewhat better than they were a few years ago. YMMV, but trying anti-aging treatments is probably won't hurt (but that's not certain, either!), but may help a large number of conditions. We still don't even know what we don't know about this stuff, which is one reason I get really chapped about people thinking they know what to do about new viruses using unproven gene therapies, and then trying to pass those off as "vaccines". But that's another rant entirely...
