Can floaters be aspirated?

Vitreous floaters: Part of the process to remove floaters does involve controlled aspiration along with controlled cutting through the vitreous fluid to free up the vitreous fluid with the floaters. This process is called vitrectomy and is performed by a vtreoretinal surgeon, and is not without complication and is only performed under specific circumstances..

Yes: By a procedure called a vitrectomy. The procedure has certain risks, and so the decision to remove floaters should not be taken lightly. If the floaters bother you a lot, you would see a retina surgeon for consultation.
