No: Time is the most natural way to cure floaters. Which means, yes they will go away on their own, but it may take days, months years...

No cure. May resolve: No natural cure. Floaters may resolve or become less evident. They will always become less bothersome over time. See an ophthalmologist right away for any worsening, flashing lights, which could indicate a retinal tear or detachment and may need laser or surgery. If a dark shadow, emergency see ophthal right away or go to er. Some doctors haven't used a laser to treat floaters. Dependent on l.

No: Floaters are condensations within the vitreous gel in the eye. They can be annoying, but are usually not a significant problem. If you develop a shower of new floaters, particularly if seen with light flashes, that could indicate that you are developing a retinal tear or detachment, and you should see an ophthalmologist asap. The only definitive treatment is surgery, but only if severe.
