The back of your eye is filled with vitreous, which is a combination of fluid and collagen (like your skin). And (also like your skin) it changes with age. The floaters you’re seeing are basically broken down areas within the vitreous where that collagen structure is no longer smooth. This causes it to catch light in a way that is noticeable and bothersome.

Fortunately, you don’t technically see with your eyes. You see with your brain, and the brain does not like to be bothered by things. For example, if you put on an itchy shirt, after a while you won’t notice it any longer. (Not because the shirt changed, but because the brain decided to ignore the bothersome stimulus.) It can do the same thing with visual stimuli, and basically stop noticing it as much over time.

It’s a very nice adaptive system we have.

Now, that’s not always the case that the brain ignores it, and as such you may end up taking to a retina surgeon about it, but I don’t know a whole lot of retina surgeons who will do a vitrectomy just because someone has a few floaters.

Just give it time and see how you adapt. Most people report improvement on symptoms over a few months. In the meantime, hang in there and try not to worry/obsess too much about it. Doing so only reminds the brain that it’s there.
