Floaters are harmless. You need to rush to an eye doctor if the floaters suddenly increase in number - from 20 to 2000 or they are accompanied by persistent flashes of light or accompanied by sudden drop in vision . If not, an annual examination by an eye doctor is sufficient. You will NEVER go blind due to floaters alone! Maskatieyeclinic Opposite Charni road station east, Mumbai

Floaters are usually nonpathological. However please get your fundus examination done.if it is ok then need not to worry. Nevanec will not help  .You can use teardrop eye drops 3to4 times daily and some antioxidants caps daily.
