I swapped my desktop computer to night mode so my floater is less annoying.
My optician said I’d stop noticing it in 6 weeks. That was 6 months ago.

Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?

I'd say get it checked out if you can reasonably afford it. Eye exams by a competent professional can detect serious health issues before they are noticed by you or your PCP.

There is no treatment because they are considered a natural and harmless consequence of aging. Only in severe cases is surgery necessary.

My optometrist said not to worry unless I see a “shower of them” suddenly.

Aging?! I saw them more as a child than as a middle-aged man. Are we talking about the wormy things?
