You can't: Generally you must learn to live with floaters. Floaters can be improved with a somewhat risky eye operation. Most ophthalmologists do not recommend this.

Depends: First question is have you had a dilated exam to make sure that the floaters are not accompanied by other findings such as retinal tears. As a retina specialist, i rarely recommend a "floaterectomy" or vitrectomy for floaters. Usually they are not severe enough to require any treatment. Another option is yag vitreolysis. This doesn't always work either. That leaves you with adapting to them.
