Have your eyes: examined and make sure there is nothing significant going on. However, floaters are very common, they are little tissue remnants. And yes, they are annoying, but we just live with them. You get used to them over time. You urgently need to see an eye doctor if your vision is impaired by them, if you notice flashes of light in your peripheral vision or you have pain with your floaters.

Can be normal: Eye floaters are very common. They can be a cause of some annoyance but most individuals just learn to live with them. At times floaters can be a sign of a condition that needs further attention. If floaters ever increase rapidly in number or if they are accompanied by flashes of light, medical attention should be sought immediately as this may reflect impending retinal detachment.
