See an eye doctor promptly if floaters suddenly increase, appear after an eye injury, or are accompanied by flashes of light, a curtain/shadow in vision, or vision loss
Request a dilated eye exam to check for retinal tears or detachment
If floaters are mild and not changing, monitor them and avoid rubbing your eyes
Manage underlying causes (e.g., treat eye inflammation; control diabetes; manage high blood pressure if present)
Consider lifestyle steps that may reduce risk of worsening vitreous changes: protect eyes from UV, avoid smoking, maintain healthy weight and cardiovascular health
Avoid unnecessary eye strain and follow safe screen-use practices
Ask about treatment options if floaters significantly impair vision:
Laser vitreolysis (select cases)
Vitrectomy (selected severe cases due to risks)
Do not try home remedies or supplements as a substitute for medical evaluation
Seek emergency care if you have sudden onset of many floaters with flashes or a curtain/shadow
