Floaters can be because of vitreous condensation, bleeding in side eye, trauma , eye inflammation and various other issues.
If you have been examined and these issues have been ruled out then you should not worry. Have a regular checkup and show in between if any increase in flashes or floaters.

Floaters are usually nonpathological.please learn to omit them. Since you have already consulted a retina specialist and yourretina is ok .
Hence you need not to worry just learn to omit them.

There is no solution for floaters.
Learn to ignore.
Since you are seeing haloes, kindly get your intraocular pressure checked.

Floaters are related to altered structure in the transparent gel like fluid in the eye. You will have to learn to ignore it. Sometimes having Vitamin C rich foodstuffs can help.
Next Steps
Do get your retina checked atleast once a year.
Health Tips
If number of floaters increases all of a sudden, consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
