'Floaters': When the vitreous jelly in the back of the eye ages, it begins to break up and some of the solid jelly will 'float' around--eventually it will dissolve. However it can be associated with holes or tears in the retina so please get a good dilated eye exam.

Usu vitreous floater: The posterior chamber of the eye keeps its shape with a vitreous jelly, which has thin strands of connective tissue running through it. Sometimes these strands become visible as vitreous floaters. Your symptoms can also occur from blood in the back of the eye or from allergic or infectious mucus floating over the front surface of your eye. Go see your eye md (ophthalmologist).
