Hello
Floaters are benign and don't need treatment
Only way to get rid of them is to avoid them
Having said that it is provisional diagnosis.
Kindly consult local ophthalmologist and get proper retina examination done

Floaters generally do not affect vision, however if they increase suddenly Eg. 1-2 floaters become 20-25 consult immediately. However flashes should not be ignored especially if you have an untreated hole in the retina.
Do get a detailed, dilated check up done.

Floaters are usually nonpathological.please learn to omit them but get your fundus examination done so as to exclude any retinal problem.
